So as not to go astray. How to stay on track

Everything was fine with you, and then something happened. It's as if you've encountered an obstacle against which your formula for success is powerless. If circumstances have forced you to go astray, then this article is for you.

However, the one who does nothing is not mistaken. You are probably at the very beginning of your journey again. This is not very good news. And, most likely, your brain will try to dissuade you from a new attempt to overcome all the difficulties: “See, nothing is working out. Enough. No need. You shouldn't even try." This is where the main danger lies. If you listen to your inner voice, you probably won’t be able to change anything this time. Moreover, you will generally reduce the likelihood of change in the future because you will lose faith in yourself.

If circumstances force you to lose your way (and they inevitably will), be sure to remember the following steps:

2. Determine how you should act.

3. Praise yourself for finding the strength to start over (fitness guru Bob Greene's strategy).

4. Quickly act on your decision.

For example, Oprah realized that her problems were related to a knee injury, immediately developed a new set of exercises, praised herself for her decision to continue training (she trained with Bob Greene, and perhaps it was he who suggested this decision to her) and continued to do the exercises. Now she is in excellent shape, and there is no trace of excess weight left. Tracy realized that the crisis in the company would end in a month. Accordingly, she changed her approach to the time frame of her work so that she could continue to devote time to her family. She patted herself on the back for wanting to continue working on her goals and was determined that after a month of unforeseen work, she would go back to working shorter hours on Fridays. I found another gym, made a more intense workout plan, and took care of a new diet.

In my opinion, the most important points in the proposed scheme of action are points 3 and 4. By praising yourself, you will remain on a positive wave and maintain self-esteem. You don’t have to think: “See, I can’t do this right. And what happened confirms this once again.” Praise yourself. By doing this, you will remind yourself that you have the courage and persistence to not give up.

It is extremely important to act quickly. Otherwise, you risk losing the energy of your promise and falling back into old bad habits. I hope you already have a backup plan that we talked about in the book? Perhaps it's time to use it. I knew the gym was supposed to close, but I didn't take any steps to find a new one. I have never encountered such a problem, my gym was not closed on holidays before (and I did not have free time to choose another), and searching for an alternative option has never taken up so much of my time.

Perhaps you have never had anything like this before either. For example, you found out that your mother will move in with you or your husband will lose his job, and you have no backup plan. In this case, assessing the situation and making the right decision on further actions will help. The main thing is not to lose composure and quickly resolve all issues. Then everything will be done correctly and in a timely manner.

When faced with any difficulty, always remember to act and not remain a passive observer. I remember a time when a friend came to stay with me for a few days. She immediately asked where the nearest gym was. While my family and I sat at home and had leisurely morning conversations, my friend left us for an hour to exercise. At that time, her daily morning exercises seemed to me a real manifestation of fanaticism. I must say that now I respect her persistence and determination. Even traveling does not stop my friend from playing sports every day. If only you knew how wonderful she looks at fifty years old!

Remember that even Oprah Winfrey had to pick herself up and start over many times. At the same time, millions of people watched her, no less! Therefore, if you are lost on the path, never forget the four points. And it doesn't matter how many times you start over. It is important that you find the strength to do this.

Never giving up and being able to start over is the right path to fulfilling your dreams, increasing self-esteem, self-esteem and self-confidence!

Minimalism is not a goal, it is a path, an exciting journey to yourself. It is quite natural that during this endless voyage, various questions arise, new circumstances arise and old habits interfere. Perhaps - and this happens especially often at the beginning of the road - you have come across the question: “how not to start accumulating excess things again and not return to a situation that you, sometimes, with great difficulty, managed to move.”

I bring to your attention a few guiding tricks that can make it easier to move in the chosen direction.

Try to keep in mind the reason why you decided to get rid of unnecessary things.

Would you like to increase the free space in your home or spend less effort on cleaning and spend the free time with the people who matter to you? Maybe you have decided to take a more conscious approach to consumption in general and track your habits in particular - everyone has their own reasons for becoming familiar with minimalism and it is important to constantly keep them in sight.

Keep yourself inspired.

This is especially important at the stage of actively getting rid of excess, when there seems to be no end to it. Look through photos of minimalist interiors, wardrobes, be inspired by nature, its simple natural colors, get acquainted with the works of minimalist artists and photographers. It is useful to communicate with like-minded people, ask questions and discuss difficult issues.

Develop and reinforce new habits.

For example, it is useful to learn how to perform some small tasks immediately, without delay: washing a plate right after a meal, coming home without delay, changing clothes and hanging clothes in their places, without delaying correcting minor damage such as a broken seam on clothes, a torn button or a loose screw in fastening the cabinet door - it could be anything. It is important that you acquire and record a skill that will help you get more firmly on the chosen path of wise and rational use of various resources, including time.

Buy carefully and consciously.

Try to avoid compulsive purchases so as not to bring home again what you don’t need and ruin the already existing fruits of clearing space. Try setting up free days where you don't buy anything other than essentials, such as groceries.

Notice which area is causing you the most difficulty. where unnecessary and useless things accumulate most quickly.

This could be skincare and decorative cosmetics, household chemicals, the hosiery and linen compartment of the chest of drawers, and so on. Analyze why it is there that clutter settles most quickly, why you buy more of something than you need, and how it turns out that what you already have is lost from sight.

All kinds of stops and difficulties are inevitable on any path. There is no need to be afraid of them and be too demanding of yourself - everyone has their own comfortable pace of immersion in a new reality. Minimalism is not a competition, it is a way of thinking and a lifestyle that everyone approaches in their own way. Value yourself and your home, love what you do, get inspired, try new things and you will definitely find in this philosophy what is necessary, close and what you like.

Sooner or later there comes a time in our lives when we feel a little lost. In life we have to make many decisions.

There are a lot of things that we know nothing about. Naturally, all this makes us constantly think about what the meaning of our life is. In addition, each of us carries many responsibilities on our shoulders in life. So it's not surprising that sometimes we may feel off track. We are all human.

We are designed by nature to want to know the answers to all questions. Unfortunately, life works differently. All that remains for us is to simply make the most of the resources that we have.

So, 11 things we need to remember when it starts to feel like you've lost your way in life.

1. Always remember that the situation that exists in your life today will not happen forever. The best is yet to come.

You don't need to have all the answers right now. Just breathe and continue to enjoy your journey. Don't take life too seriously. Keep trying and don't lose faith in yourself. This way you will certainly end up where you want to be.

2. Sometimes it turns out that bad events happen so that we can become happier in the future.

We are not always able to say how this or that event in life will affect our future. However, very often it turns out that the most difficult trials in our lives prepare us for something truly magnificent and incredible.

Don't give up. Keep going through these challenges and turn to your family and friends for support when things get tough. After surviving the thunderstorm, you will have the opportunity to admire an incredibly beautiful rainbow.

3. If you don't like your life today, take action. You are not a tree, but a person. You are able to make adjustments to your own life.

We are all capable of making decisions in life. However, it often happens that the mere thought that we need to take the next step seems to paralyze our mind. As a result, we continue to do jobs that we hate and continue to live in cities that we don’t like to live in, just because all this is familiar and understandable to us.

However, in order to live a full life and be as happy as possible, we need change. Your life is in your hands. Only you decide what it will be like. Make sure you always listen to what your heart is telling you.

4. You cannot start writing a new chapter of your life as long as you continue to reread the previous one.

Remember that you need to look back only in order to understand how far you have already come, and not at all in order to dream of turning back time and being back where you once were.

When you feel lost, remember what your past has taught you and keep looking forward. Focus on the good things ahead of you.

5. If you are unable to open a door, then you don’t need to open it at all.

When you feel confused, remember that if you reach a dead end, you can always turn back and take a different path. There are thousands of paths in life that you can take. Maybe you are still looking for the path destined for you by fate. Take your time and don't rush your destiny.

6. Sometimes you need to take a short break. Take a breath and remind yourself of who you are and where exactly you are heading in life.

Sometimes we feel lost in life because we simply haven't had enough time to understand who we are and where we are going. Take time for a walk or go on a trip for a while, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This will give you the opportunity to get to know yourself better.

7. Sometimes, in order to regain an optimistic outlook on life, you need to talk to your 3-year-old child.

Adults sometimes lose hope because they have had to experience and endure a lot in life. Life sometimes makes us tough, cynical and withdrawn. However, one conversation with a 3-year-old child can fix all this. Little children know very well what the secret of life is.

8. Listen to the silence and you will hear what it tells you. Take this seriously.

When you feel lost in life, remember that sometimes you just need to sit in silence and listen to what it has to say. In other words, sometimes it is necessary to enter a state of peace. This way you will understand what exactly you need.

9. Sometimes you need to stop overthinking and just go where your heart leads you.

Maybe you feel confused because you are thinking too much. In order to find your true path in life, you need to trust your intuition and never give up. Be persistent and don't let negative thoughts get the better of you.

10. In order to move forward, you don’t need to know all the answers.

Sometimes it turns out that after taking just one step, you will already see a staircase in front of you leading up to the door that you have long dreamed of opening. In order to live a happy life, you don't need to have a detailed plan for all your actions.

At certain times, all it takes is simply making a decision that your heart agrees with. You don’t need to just sit and wait for the answer to a question that has been tormenting you for a long time to appear in front of you, as if by magic.

11. Never stop believing. Remember that miracles happen every day.

The most important thing you need to do when you feel lost is to continue to believe in yourself and in the power of the Universe. We begin to suffer when this very suffering should teach us something.

If there were no dark moments in our lives, then we would not be able to fully enjoy those moments when everything is good in our lives. You will find your way. Just keep going and don't let negative thoughts derail you.
