Just One More Self Improvement Article? Maybe Not.

There is no end to the number of articles on how to improve oneself
available today. They are everywhere, in books, on the Internet, in
snail mail solicitations, posted on bulletin boards where we shop, eat
and exercise.
No doubt you are thinking that this is just another one of those. Well
if that is the case what have you got to lose by reading one more
article on how to improve yourself and have a fuller, richer life?
A lot of us came to realize many things at or near the 40 year old
stage of our lives. We began to ask ourselves questions such as
what will my life be like at the end?. Am I satisfied with the way that I
have lived?. Have I seen and done all that I
have wanted to?. Am I truly content?. The questions just seem to
come in waves. Things that never seemed to matter before because
they were so far in the future suddenly become more important and
we develop a sense of urgency that demands attention.
Then some idiot gave you another self improvement article and told
you that
it is not too late to fulfill your dreams and change the answers to
those questions. Does that mean anything to you? I hope it does.
Feelings of anxiety will start to manifest themself as you enter into
the middle to late middle stages in your life. This is completely
normal and most everybody experiences this. I know I did. You may
begin to become confused because life had felt so good. You had
been happy, you had a successful marriage, a few wonderful kids,
you may have even enjoyed the work you did for a living. Now you
begin to ask yourself "what is my problem and why am I experiencing
this anxiety about life now"? The problem is you have reached the
proverbial "glass ceiling".The practical side that is based on the fear
of change that had convinced you all along that your passion and
dreams had been of less importance than they really were.
What you need now is a different perspective that can help you
move your life to the next level. Yes, as I am sure you have figured
out, this is a self improvement artice created to help you to break
through your own glass ceiling and develop the life you really need
and want at this stage of your life.
Here are ten things you need to do in order to gain that new
perspective on life.

1. You have to allow yourself to dream.
Dreaming is good stuff. As a child you didn't have any problem
dreaming. Where did your ability to imagine things and to dream
about what you wanted and who you wanted to be go? When was
the last time you found yourself daydreaming and appreciated it?
Find that ability again and put it back to work.
2. Quit looking at other people for happiness. Look inside of yourself
and increase your self-awareness. Try and find out who you are at
the core. Develop and nurture a relationship with yourself.
3. Take the time to take care of yourself. You cannot focus on
thriving in your life if you are in a constant mode of just surviving.
Get the things done that need to be done so you can move on.
Things such asmaking an appointment with your accountant, get
your space organized, take care of the
nagging details that are wasting your time and energy.
4. Accept that your past was what it was and move on. What is done
is done and nothing you do or say can change it. Go from “why did it
happen to me” to what can I do about it now.
Asking yourself why is not a very empowering question. Asking
yourself what do I need to do now and how can I move forward is a
much more powerful approach.

5. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you are alone. It is very
easy to feel overwhelmed with life. You need to accept support when
it is available. If you read more self improvement articles chances
are they might help you figure out some things that are bothering
you. You may just find the one article that really clicks for you. The
one that finally turns on the light for you. You will never find it if you
don't look for it.
6. Do not forget to be grateful for the things that you do have going
for you, no matter how insignificant they may seem at this time.
Count your blessings. List the things that are working right in you
life. Find
some time each and every day to acknowledge what or who you are
grateful for. The more you practice gratitude, the more you attract
things into your life to be grateful for.
7. Do not hesitate to seek what you are passionate about. You still
have your passions even if it has been some time since you may
have really felt and listened to them.
8. You have got to keep breathing. If you are like me you don't take
enoughdeep breaths. Take five right now. It will flood your body with
oxygen and give you a burst of energy and help clear your mind.
During times of stress we tend to constrict our breathing and thus
compound the stress. I already feel better don't you?
9. You will have to take action and a certain degree of risk.
Inspiration alone is not enough to move your life to the next level.
The only thing that will do this is "inspired action". I am sure you are
intelligent enough to see the difference.
10. Take plenty of time to have fun and do some things just for you.
Take a bubble bath, get your hair done or call a friend and talk.
Listen to some music. Go dancing. You get the idea.
I am willing to wager that you thought this was just one of those silly
articles on self improvement didn't you?
