There is no person in the world who, at least once in his life, did not want to become completely different. Most often, such a desire arises at the moment when you want to change your life, get rid of painful problems and disagreements with others, complexes, shortcomings and everything that simply interferes with living fully.
Most people dream of becoming rich and independent, achieving success in their chosen field of activity, but few people succeed in this and the character and thoughts of the person himself become an obstacle in this. It is not necessary to change radically; even the slightest change in character or behavior already makes a person different. If changes in yourself are really necessary to feel happy, you just have to find out how to become a different person and how to change internally.
How to become a different person
How to become a completely different person
Start changing yourself by studying your inner world, because all events that occur in life originate from personal experiences, dreams and the spiritual world of a person. Every thought, word, movement affects how others treat us. If spoken words are not backed up by actions, then the attitude of others becomes extremely negative and disapproving. But even in this case, a person should not change himself to please others, he must make this decision himself and do it for himself. No one should love others more than themselves, only true self-love can change life. After all, if you don’t know how to love yourself, how can you love someone else?

Before you begin, first answer the question “Do you love yourself?” Don't try to brush it off, be honest with yourself. If you really don't love yourself, then learn how to fix this situation. Without this, it will not be possible to become a different person. If it is difficult to answer such a question, then remember: do you often praise yourself, approve of the actions you have taken, the word you have said to someone, are you worried about what others will think if you find yourself in an awkward situation. If you can't remember when last time admired yourself and were glad that everything was working out for you, but on the contrary, you wanted once again chiding yourself for not being as perfect, beautiful and smart as others is a symptom of chronic self-dislike. And until you learn to love yourself, you will not be able to change. All attempts will be pointless, because you simply do not know how to value yourself, no matter what you do.
But as soon as you stop criticizing yourself and start praising yourself at least once a week, write down what exactly you want to change in yourself, what character traits or actions. Don’t forget to write what you are not happy with and what you don’t like in life, what you are unhappy with. Your task is to look deep into your soul and compose full list what you have to fight with. Having learned to love yourself, you will be able to adequately assess whether you really need to become a different person, because you have already managed to change by loving yourself. If the desire to change remains, then write down what kind of person you want to become. Having assessed the scale of future transformations, indicate nearby what can help and make this process less painful. The most difficult thing in this situation was and remains an honest admission to myself that I am not perfect. After all, everyone, deep down in their souls, wants to be a model for others, to feel respect and support from others.
Make it a rule to write down all the doubts that arise on the way to becoming a different person. The character formed over the years, habits developed and style of behavior - everything will force you to stop and abandon your plans. This is how a person is designed: he strives for peace and his comfort zone. But if you want to change, get ready to fight not only with others, but also with yourself. Having expressed on paper everything that worries and excites you, you yourself will be surprised at how far-fetched all these fears and worries are.

It’s not for nothing that psychologists advise pouring out your deepest fears on paper, and then burning or tearing the sheet. Speaking or detailed description problems for whom, which is more convenient, allows a person to really look at the things that scare him and, as a rule, he immediately begins to understand that there is nothing in this life that he cannot do. Whatever you plan can come true if you believe in yourself and that you are the creator of your own happiness. The same applies to working on yourself, since the desire to become different is the same desire as any other, and you just have to believe that everything is in your hands.
How to change internally
Change your philosophy and worldview. Give up outdated concepts. They are the ones who prevent you from becoming what you dream of. Every word heard from parents and loved ones formed the view of oneself and the world. And, unfortunately, the attitude of relatives is not always objective and helps a person become more self-confident. Therefore, to achieve success in life, start by developing your own assessment of your personality and the world around you. Give up other people's principles that were imposed, develop your own view of the world. Sometimes this is enough to get rid of self-doubt, love yourself and become a different person.
To feel the pleasure of life, do not deny yourself the right to hobbies and interests. Don't listen if others criticize you for it. The main thing is that they bring pleasure and give joy, but at the same time they should not interfere with your path to success by taking up time. The best option will be one when a hobby helps you take a break from work or becomes a source of income, allowing you to devote more time to your development.
If you want to change yourself, understand: “Who are you?”, “What kind of person?”, “What benefit can you bring to the world?” In the end, why do you want to become different and why. Lack of understanding of your capabilities, your own value for yourself and others often becomes an obstacle to success.

Most unpleasant emotions are brought to us by other people. We begin to get nervous, worried, upset, offended that we are not understood and not heard. To maintain peace in your soul, stop judging and evaluating people, rather try to understand them and act with them based on their attitude towards life. Avoid people who bring negativity into your life, and with those who are dear to you, in case of any disagreements and solutions to problems, find not just a compromise, but a third option that will suit both parties.
Don't put off achieving your goals, even if they seem impossible. Take it and do what is important to you right now. Don’t look for reasons that help justify inactivity; rather, spend your time bringing your plans to life.
If you can’t decide where to start, make a plan on how to fulfill your deepest desire in life. On this path you will begin to change, whether you want it or not. New activity, achievements, pleasure from even the smallest result on the path to what you want will make you change your attitude towards yourself. You will feel your self-confidence increase, and with it your faith in your strength.
Don't despair if things don't work out. Try again and again. If you decide to play sports, find time so that it doesn’t happen. Don't let yourself get complacent. Becoming a different person is not easy. This requires every effort and great will, but only patience and determination will allow you to achieve success on this path. There is nothing more difficult than changing your habits and worldview ingrained in your blood. But only those who are ready to rise as many times as necessary will achieve success. No failures or difficulties will force him to abandon his goals. Strong man He doesn’t dream, he sets goals for himself and, as a rule, achieves them. So be strong and persistent and you will definitely succeed.
Few people know that their desires and goals are not fulfilled through their own fault. Anyone can give a hundred reasons why something didn’t work out for them. But the recipe for success lies within you, and it depends only on your thoughts and efforts whether you achieve what you want or not. If the presence of complexes prevents you from achieving success, then you just need to get rid of them.

Every effort made to make a wish come true will bear fruit, the main thing is to just learn to listen to yourself. If you want to become a different person, and you understand that this is really necessary, like air, don’t pay attention to anyone, don’t ask anyone, change, because this is the only way to change your life radically.

If, when asked whether a person is happy, he says yes without hesitation, it means that the way he lives, what he does, the people around him, etc., suits him completely and every day brings him a lot of happiness. positive emotions, which provide a charge of strength for new achievements. Those who were less fortunate, or rather, who lacked something in order to fulfill their desires - perseverance, patience or courage, will most likely think twice before claiming their happiness, because their plans were not realized. Phrases like “it’s impossible to change”, “I don’t have enough character to achieve more” are absolute nonsense, because according to psychologists, it’s quite possible to change yourself, and thanks to such changes, you can change your life.

Each of us wants to change ourselves in some way: get rid of shyness or irritability, become more purposeful or cheerful... Changes do not happen instantly. Transformation is a road that we must walk step by step. What awaits us on the path of change?

1. Insight

In general, you are satisfied with everything about the way you live - everything is convenient and seems to be safe. But something is happening. Vivid or completely invisible, it disrupts the usual way of your life, and you suddenly feel an unpleasant stirring of dissatisfaction in your soul. Reality seems to be pushing you: think about it, is this the kind of person you wanted to live?

Awareness of thirst changes in one's character comes suddenly. Something happens that tears off the blinders of everyday life, forcing us to rise above the everyday routine and ask the question: “Who am I and how do I live? Am I happy with this? Do I always want to live like this?” Various internal and external events, intense or not very intense, positively or negatively colored, can push you to such a conversation with yourself. Illness, dismissal from work, a good book, cheating on a spouse, or a chance meeting with a friend.

But in fact, this fateful event that provokes insight is only a trigger that opens the floodgates of consciousness to thoughts that previously remained outside of it. Most likely, you have been thinking about this for a long time, but did not fully realize your own dissatisfaction - it was too convenient to live according to habit, without changing anything.

You suppressed irritation, did not notice the decrease in self-esteem, compared yourself with someone who had achieved more... And then a meeting with a fellow student who touched something inside, causing both delight and indignation at a way of thinking and lifestyle different from yours... These moments lead to acute awareness of the need to change internally - in order to become yourself. Getting carried away with ideas, making plans and realizing our desires often paradoxically takes us away from ourselves. We get used to imperfections, restrictions and almost no longer feel tightness and spasms. That’s why it’s so important at the moment of insight not to ignore own feelings, but listen and try to understand yourself. Why, for example, has it ceased to be interesting in the company of friends or no longer wants to perform feats of labor.

2. Uncertainty

This stage is a test of the strength of our thirst for change. He either confirms your desire to become different, or nullifies noble impulses. How valuable are new ideas to you personally? What is this - a manifestation of your nature or a stupid attempt to put on someone else's dress? A period of doubt will help separate the wheat from the chaff...

“It would be great, but...”, “How will my loved ones perceive this?”, “Will I find more than I lose?”, “Will I be happier than I am now?” - these questions overcome us as soon as we decide change your life. Any change means taking risks. After all, you are moving away from your usual state towards uncertainty. It's always scary not to be able to predict the future with 100% certainty.

However, the stage of doubt is necessary. Uncertainty does not deprive us of freedom of choice - it only creates the conditions for our choice to be conscious. This stage makes it possible to avoid mistakes inherent in rash actions. It allows us to assess the importance of what we are going to do and the risks we are willing to take in the name of change.

However, if we doubt for too long, it kills our desire to change our character. We “cool down,” lose the energy needed for action, and return to the starting position. Perhaps your expectations from change are excessive, and the bar is too high? Ask yourself honestly what you expect from change, do you realize that working on yourself will require a lot of effort and time and, perhaps, the ability to rise after defeat and start again? And if, after frank answers to these questions, the goal does not become less desirable, limit the time of hesitation and make up your mind.

3. Resistance

After the period of doubt comes a stage of resistance to change. He is characterized by the thoughts “I won’t succeed,” “I’m not capable of such actions.” Is this a reason to abandon the plan?

Inside each of us lives a kind of saboteur who does not want to change his life and blocks all our efforts. Sigmund Freud was the first to discover this universal property of the psyche and call it “resistance.” The function of resistance is to counteract the awareness of desires, feelings or ideas that can destroy the established self-image and lead to changes in life or relationships dear to us. Despite the fact that this is the terminology of psychoanalysis, we constantly observe manifestations of resistance in everyday life - remember how often we tend not to recognize obvious things!

An instrument of resistance is a formed system of attitudes, unique filters through which we look at our lives. In everyday situations, they can greatly help us, automating routine decision-making, saving enormous amounts of time and energy. The uniqueness of these attitudes determines our character and shapes our individuality. “The best is the enemy of the good”, “I am always right”, “I must” - you need to know these attitudes and take them for granted. This will allow you to make an “adjustment” for them in the situation of making an important decision. At first, this will not always be successful, and even then only in hindsight. For example, you realize that the reason for yesterday’s quarrel with your husband is that the eternal “I know better” worked. You should not try to forcefully “turn off” your filter starting tomorrow. This will only create an “overfilter” designed to control the previous one, and will only complicate your system of attitudes and slow down the movement towards change. Just know your settings. By being aware of them, you will be able to make a choice, use your usual way of thinking or try to look at the state of things in a way that is unusual for you.

4. Implementation of the plan

Inner transformation - a long way of specific small steps-actions aimed at realizing the plan. Having gone through three stages of change, you have come to perceived need transformation. What happens next? How do you feel about yourself? Do you consider yourself by and large a good man? A positive, healthy self-attitude will help you move towards your goal effectively and at a good pace, while self-blame, which may have pushed you to work on yourself, will be a serious obstacle. Therefore, self-forgiveness, self-acceptance and a kind attitude towards oneself are very important in order for the process of changing one’s character to begin.

Violent activity and a sharp transition to a different behavior are not always signs of internal changes. Radical actions are more likely to indicate a superficial belief that everything will happen instantly and easily, while personal transformation involves deep, lasting changes that manifest themselves in the most ordinary, everyday actions. These are moments of reflection, spoken words of gratitude to my wife, an attentive conversation with my teenage daughter. Every day, every minute Everyday life doing ordinary things with a goal orientation is a recipe for profound change.

Treat yourself kindly. Notice your small achievements and praise yourself for them. This will help you stay motivated, patient and determined. Your brain does not immediately accept new behavior patterns - this is normal. Take your time and don't get upset. Maintain a positive attitude and tolerance towards yourself. Perfectionism and haste will be extremely harmful now. Give yourself time change internally, and for those around you to realize and accept the changes taking place in you. And one day you will hear the cherished “you have changed so much!”, spoken with gratitude and admiration.

Be yourself, look and dress the way you like, set your own rules in life - what could be better? But sometimes it happens that a person simply urgently needs to change himself and his preferences, and in a radical way. How to change beyond recognition? Why is there such a need? We'll talk about this in detail below.

Reasons for wanting to change yourself

There can be a lot of reasons for change, because, as you know, there are so many opinions. People are most often driven to experiment on themselves by the following reasons:

1. Love. Especially the first, teenage love, or a strong feeling, attraction to opposite sex. For the first time in all the years of his life, a person may wake up with the thought: “I want to change beyond recognition, so that my beloved (my beloved) can love me.”
2. When a person understands that given the current state of affairs, the way he looks and treats people, he will not achieve anything in life, he decides to make drastic changes.
3. The desire to become more popular, to attract attention. Self-centered people are very prone to frequent changes. Of course, they love themselves, but the shell, the appearance in which they find themselves, constantly does not suit them.
4. Self-development. A healthy desire to change something in your life, in yourself, arises due to ordinary human curiosity. We all love to learn something new and bring it into our everyday lives.

In addition, there are also psychological factors that push a person to change. Various stressful situations, conflicts and failures can trigger a desire to change. The new image will be perceived by the subconscious as protection from negativity associated with the past.

External changes for men

It is quite difficult for representatives of the stronger half of humanity to change their appearance without the help of a specialist. Below we will consider several ways that are beyond recognition, suitable for men:

• Be active in sports. This is a great opportunity to change not only your lifestyle, but also your appearance. Perhaps many men dream of a beautiful, sculpted body. But to achieve such results without physical activity unreal.
• Trim your overgrown beard, mustache, or, conversely, grow it. This greatly changes facial features. Try using colored lenses and radically change your wardrobe.
• Learn to communicate correctly and competently with the opposite sex. which means that in order to get the object of passion into your networks, you need to change the way you communicate.
• Accept yourself as you are. Agreement with your own “I” accelerates the process of both internal and external transformation. When you decide to make changes, be sure to agree on this issue with yourself, analyzing in detail why and for what you are doing it.

Of course, men have fewer options for change. And the most radical method remains plastic surgery. But is it worth resorting to such measures?

Ways of external change for women

All a lady needs to do is visit a beauty salon and she will be transformed beyond belief. How can a girl change beyond recognition? All you need to do is follow simple recommendations:

• Change of wardrobe. Changes in image should be made taking into account the characteristics of the figure. For example, if you have short and full legs, then replacing a maxi skirt with a mini one is not advisable. First, decide which style suits you best. If you previously preferred strict, classic clothes, then for a radical change you can try a sporty or urban style.
• Change of hairstyle. Changing the shape and color of your hair allows you to transform yourself in literally 1.5-2 hours. You were blonde with long hair? Become a hot brunette with short hair! However, it is worth remembering that frequent hair coloring can lead to hair loss.
• Use of decorative cosmetics. How to change beyond recognition? Apply cosmetics. Correctly applied products can make your face look completely different.
• Weight loss. Do you want dramatic changes? Start with your weight. It is absolutely not necessary to go on a strict diet and exhaust yourself with hunger strikes. It is enough to determine for yourself the number of kilograms that you need to get rid of.

And these are not all the ways to change beyond recognition. Ladies are more inventive in this regard; they can radically change themselves in 1 day, week or month, and without the intervention of specialists.

All changes begin with internal changes. Be sure to discuss with yourself each point that you want to apply to yourself. Representatives of both sexes, before starting to change, should think about what all this is for? If you want to do this for someone or for someone, then ask yourself, will this person be there for you after all the changes? Will you become more successful, more beautiful and more popular? You shouldn’t suddenly change everything in your life because of a fleeting desire - transformation should be gradual and deliberate.

How to change beyond recognition internally? Start with small steps that will gradually change your lifestyle, pace of life, and character.

Set your priorities

Decide what you want most. Create a specific wish list, highlight the most desirable things. There is no need to waste yourself on implementing everyday, everyday plans, for example, such as buying a new washing machine or kitchen stove. Think about the last time you rested, relaxed, and spent time with your family? Start with a vacation, with shared dinners and walks with your family. Lonely people will benefit from communicating with friends and parents and making new acquaintances.

Plan your day correctly. Make a list of the most important tasks for today and cross off items as you complete them - a visual representation helps the subconscious understand that the task has been completed, which means that thoughts about it are no longer appropriate.

Learn what you've always dreamed of

We study throughout our lives, constantly learning something new. But we do not always have the opportunity to obtain the knowledge that is necessary to realize hidden potential. Learn foreign language, take lessons in playing the guitar, piano, try yourself as a singer or designer. Any new role will allow you to open up and change in a short time.

Is it really possible to change beyond recognition in a month due to new skills and knowledge? It all depends on your desire for change, as well as the type of activity that you decide to master. The more complex it is, the longer the process of learning and change will be.

New emotions - new "I"

Travel as often as possible, and not necessarily foreign countries. Visit every small corner of your homeland - an influx of new emotions is guaranteed to you. Ride your bike and ride the streets hometown, meet the sunrise on the shore of the lake - all this will bring a sea of ​​positivity into your life. Make it a rule to smile more often - with a smile, not only you change, but also the world around you.

How to change beyond recognition in a week? Start radiating positivity. Unfortunately, this cannot be achieved in one day if a person is by nature gloomy and does not know how to enjoy life. Special training will help you master this skill.

Remember that your inner “I” is a temple, so do not let any garbage in the form of everyday problems, conflicts, minor troubles. They destabilize emotional condition a person, preventing him from enjoying life.

Repetition and persistence

Be more persistent in your actions, do not give up. Constant repetition, search and eradication of mistakes made allows you to understand how to change beyond recognition. Character can only be changed by identifying the trait in yourself that you want to get rid of as soon as possible, and start working on yourself.

If you decide to change radically, then start by giving up laziness and idleness. Constant control of your thoughts and actions, agreement with your own “I” - this is what will help you overcome the difficulties associated with change.

Live in the moment

What happened to you in the past should fade into the background. Even if past events bring you positive emotions and help you relax, they should still be pushed aside during the change. Remember! The person you were in the past and the person you are now are completely different people.

Concentrate your attention on what is happening in this moment, without thinking about other options for the development of events. While walking, simultaneously fix your gaze on several surrounding objects and people. Immerse yourself in the situation you are in. With constant practice, you will learn to meditate and establish contact with yourself, and also accept reality as it is.

This activity allows you to protect yourself from negativity coming from ourselves and unnecessary anxiety. Accepting reality helps improve a person’s life, helps him change internally, teaches him to love and appreciate what he has.

How to radically change your life in just a month

Try to write down the best book tips on how to change your life: there is probably enough information to write a new book. It remains unclear what to do first, specifically how to change your life. You should not set many goals at the same time: you will not have enough motivation to start implementing the plan due to the understanding that the volume of tasks is unrealistic.

You will begin to doubt whether you can change your life. Work plan: structure the information by dividing it into 4 blocks corresponding to the weeks of the month.

It is difficult for something new to come into life if you have not freed yourself from old garbage. Therefore, you should start with cleansing your mind and body. Let's change your life for the better by taking the first 3 steps:

1. Gradually get involved in proper nutrition.

Is it difficult to grasp the connection between bad eating habits and the difficulty of changing your way of thinking? Self-esteem shows in the little things. Allowing you to disregard the most precious thing - your own body - by putting semi-finished products and fast food into your stomach, think about how the body will respond? What kind of self-attitude do harmful eating habits? Throw away empty excuses. You just don't value yourself. Then is it possible to change your life? Deep changes are impossible. From the very first day you decide to change your life for the better, start taking care of yourself. First, ease the lot of the body. It will change your life.

1. Play sports.

Tell me how to properly change life without tone physical body? No way. It is imperative to change the standard of living. What way you choose to stir up the forgotten body is up to you. Nobody encourages you to exhaust yourself in gym for hours. Yoga, dancing and long walks are at your disposal. How to overcome laziness and change your life? Just start doing something and do a little more every day than yesterday.

1. Get up earlier.

Determine how early it is comfortable to get up later, and during this week get up at 6 am. We assure you: suddenly you will begin to have time to do before noon what previously took a whole day to do. You will begin to greet each next day with more joy. Not thinking about how much work there is, but thinking: “What good things will I do today?” Getting up early is the easiest way you can change your life.

Three tasks a week to change your life and destiny! Do you agree that this is more than real? Do the tasks in order to get an answer to the question of how to change your life for the better.

Second week assignments.

The influence of your environment is undeniable, start working in this direction. Keep three tasks on how to change your lifestyle.

1. Clean your house.

The usual cleaning with shoving into closets and mezzanines will not work. Throw in the trash everything you no longer use. First of all, the rule concerns gifts from former partners. Such simple ways changing lives really work. Every thing that takes up space in the house in vain takes away a piece of energy. The gaze falls on a certain thing - unpleasant, sad memories are born. The past has a place in the past. Take a deep breath of clean air in a cleaned space and think about the future, about how to change your life.

1. Cover your debts.

Remember your promise to your husband to cook his favorite dish? What about your own intentions to enroll in English courses? Surely there is even a list of plans for the year on the table, compiled in New Year's Eve, remaining unchanged throughout recent years, because it is not fulfilled. A person who wants to change his life starts by being honest with himself. How to change your life if you are engaged in self-deception? Unreal. Give your word that you will begin to fulfill your promises, or crumple up the scribbled piece of paper with plans and honestly throw it in the trash.

1. Filter your surroundings.

How long can you tolerate endlessly whining friends who do not change for the better? How long can you drag out a hopeless relationship with a partner in which you do not develop at all, but only fall deeper and deeper into a depressive state? Break ties with those people with whom you have nothing in common. And read carefully how to change your life.

Help change the life for the better of the most important person in your life - yourself. To do this, it is important to become freer.

Third week assignments.

Let go of the past, create a favorable environment - the time has come to dream and plan! Only now, with a changed state of mind. You understand why it didn’t work out before, although you stubbornly told yourself: “ I want to change my life. Where to begin?" Here are the new tasks.

1. Write down important plans.

This task is especially relevant for those who threw the old list in the trash last week. How to change your life by changing your thoughts? Catch the state of inspiration, allow thoughts to flow involuntarily, catch deep desires. Then turn your dreams into a concrete list of plans. We have already described how this is done in the article.

1. Every evening, write a plan for the next day.

A short, blurry shot also counts. The main thing is to form habits that will change your life. Even if you forget to open your diary, your productivity will still exceed normal, because the subconscious mind remembers important thoughts on how to change your life.

1. Do a creative exercise regularly: write down your wildest secret dreams: “I want to become a queen,” “I want to conquer world domination.” The purpose of the exercise is to turn off your personal inner critic, who constantly limits and reprimands. Change your brain, your life will change.

Fourth week assignments.

Learn to expand the boundaries of consciousness. Let’s consolidate the thought that completed the work of the previous week: change your thinking and you will change your life.

1. Try to live in a new way.

Walk into a store with crazy expensive things, feel free to try on clothes, ask consultants questions, ask them to bring all kinds of dress options, choose a fashionable look. Try it the new kind dancing, sign up for vocal courses, scrapbooking. Try something you haven't thought about before. The purpose of this task is to break patterns and learn the habit of looking for non-standard options. How to change your attitude towards life if you continue to live as before? No way. So look for something new.

1. Get out of your comfort zone.

1. Relax!

You devoted a whole month to self-development! We deserve a reward, right? Turn off your communications and have a day to yourself. Sum up the results of the month. On the first day you said to yourself: “I want to change my life.” Did everything work out? What can you do better next month?

We hope we have given a comprehensive and complete answer to your question of how to change your life in a month. The tips outlined for 4 weeks will continue to be useful to you in the future.

Do you want to change your life? What mistakes are unacceptable?

“How easy it is to change your life!”– it seems after reading it. It really is simple, as long as you avoid the standard mistakes.

How to change your life without giving up halfway? We repeat: change your thinking - change your life. In words it is easy, but in fact it can be difficult for thinking to change. The brain by default considers something new dangerous and unacceptable. Therefore, act gradually when you decide to change your life for the better.

Second common mistake those who say to themselves: " I want to change my life for the better», – is that the desire is not translated into a goal. It is important to take concrete steps to realize what you want.

The third mistake may be an omission regarding the environment. Of course, your thinking will change your life gradually and without supporting people, but it will cost a lot of nerves and time.

The best books that will change your life

Today there is plenty of freely available information; it is irrational to go through trial and error on your own. There is more than one publication that deserves the title: “Life Changing Book.” The experience of people who have already gone through a long journey of self-development will definitely come in handy. We offer a useful selection.

Books that will change your outlook on life:

1. E. Matthews. Live easy!
2. Dan Waldschmidt. Be the best version myself.
3. Wayne Dyer. Change your thoughts - your life will change.
4. Steve McCletchy. From urgent to important.
5. R. Fritz. The path of least resistance.
6. L. Levasseur. 50 exercises to develop the ability to live in the present.
7. Vadim Zeland. Space of options.

Everyone has their own books that change their outlook on life. Get ready: in the process of reading good books, your usual, established views on the world will collapse. For a moment, you will feel as if you are in free fall and at a loss for what to grab onto. But when you can find new support, on something more important, you will clearly understand what to do to change your life.

A number of books contain specific life-changing phrases that are worth writing directly into your subconscious. Author's words that can change your life will turn into thoughts that will change your life. It sounds like a spell, but life-changing words really do exist. By the way, the most important: “I believe in myself.”

Conclusion.

If you remain inactive and remain in the grip of old stereotypes, then you are unlikely to ever understand what it means to change your life. Expand the boundaries of consciousness, develop, and you will understand that a person is able to change his life once and for all. Ask all questions in the comments.

Here's what it's like: I've been down a few times, I've come back to life a few times, I've done it again and again. I started new careers. People who knew me then don't know me now. And so on.

I started my career from scratch several times. Sometimes - because my interests changed. Sometimes - because all the bridges were burned completely, and sometimes because I desperately needed money. And sometimes because I hated everyone at my old job or they hated me.

There are other ways to reinvent yourself, so take what I say with a grain of salt. This is what worked in my case. I've seen this work for about a hundred other people. According to interviews, according to letters that have been written to me over the past 20 years. You can try it - or not.

1. Change never ends

Every day you reinvent yourself. You are always on the move. But every day you decide where exactly you are moving: forward or backward.

2. Start with a clean slate

All your past shortcuts are just vanity. Were you a doctor? An Ivy League graduate? Owned millions? Did you have a family? Nobody cares. You have lost everything. You are zero. Don't try to say that you are something more.

3. You need a mentor

Otherwise you will go down. Someone needs to show you how to move and breathe. But don't worry about finding a mentor (see below).

4. Three types of mentors

Straight. Someone ahead of you who will show you how they got there. What does "this" mean? Wait. By the way, the mentors are not like Jackie Chan’s character in the movie “The Karate Kid.” Most mentors will hate you.

Indirect. Books. Movies. You can get 90% of your instruction from books and other materials. 200–500 books equals a good mentor. When people ask me, “What is a good book to read?” - I don’t know what to answer them. There are 200-500 good books worth reading. I would turn to inspirational books. Whatever you believe, strengthen your beliefs with daily reading.

Anything can be a mentor. If you are a nobody and want to reinvent yourself, everything you look at can become a metaphor for your desires and goals. The tree you see, with its roots out of sight and the groundwater that feeds it, is a metaphor for programming if you connect the dots together. And everything you look at will “connect the dots.”

5. Don't worry if nothing excites you.

You care about your health. Start with him. Take small steps. You don't need passion to succeed. Do your work with love and success will become a natural symptom.

6. Time it takes to reinvent yourself: five years

Here is a description of these five years.

First year: you're floundering and reading everything and just starting to do something.

Second year: You know who you need to talk to and maintain working connections with. You do something every day. You finally understand what your own Monopoly game map looks like.

Third year: you are good enough to start making money. But for now, perhaps not enough to earn a living.

Fourth year: you provide for yourself well.

Fifth year: you make a fortune.

I got frustrated sometimes in the first four years. I asked myself: “Why hasn’t this happened yet?” - He hit the wall with his fist and broke his hand. It's okay, just keep going. Or stop and choose a new field of activity. It doesn't matter. Someday you will die, and then it will be really difficult to change.

7. If you do it too fast or too slow, something is going wrong.

A good example is Google.

8. It's not about the money

But money is a good measure. When people say, “It's not about the money,” they need to be sure they have some other unit of measurement. “How about you just do what you love?” There will be many days ahead when you won't like what you do. If you do it out of pure love, it will take much longer than five years. Happiness is just a positive reaction from your brain. Some days you will be unhappy. Your brain is just a tool, it does not define who you are.

9. When is it okay to say, “I’m doing X”? When does X become your new profession?

10. When can I start doing X?

Today. If you want to paint, buy canvas and paints today, start buying 500 books one at a time and paint pictures. If you want to write, do these three things:

Read

If you want to start your own business, start coming up with a business idea. Re-creating yourself begins today. Every day.

11. When will I earn money?

In a year, you will have invested 5,000–7,000 hours into this business. This is good enough to put you in the top 200-300 in the world in any specialty. Getting into the top 200 almost always provides a livelihood. By the third year you will understand how to make money. By the fourth, you will be able to increase your turnover and provide for yourself. Some people stop there.

12. By the fifth year you will be in the top 30-50, so you can make a fortune.

13. How can I tell if it’s mine?

Any field in which you can read 500 books. Go to the bookstore and find it. If you get bored after three months, go to the bookstore again. It’s normal to get rid of illusions, that’s the meaning of defeat. Success is better than failure, but failures teach us the most important lessons. Very important: don’t rush. For my interesting life you can change yourself many times. And you will fail many times. It's fun too. These attempts will turn your life into a story book, not a textbook. Some people want their life to be a textbook. Mine is a book of stories, for better or worse. Therefore, changes occur every day.

14. The decisions you make today will be in your biography tomorrow.

Make interesting decisions and you will have an interesting biography.

15. The decisions you make today will become part of your biology.

16. What if I like something exotic? Biblical archeology or wars of the 11th century?

Repeat the above steps and by the fifth year you can become rich. We don't know how. There is no need to look for the end of the road when you are only taking the first steps.

17. What if my family wants me to become an accountant?

How many years of your life have you promised to give to your family? Ten? All life? Then wait next life. It's up to you to choose.

Choose freedom over family. Freedom, not prejudice. Freedom, not government. Freedom, not satisfying other people's needs. Then you will satisfy yours.

18. My mentor wants me to follow his path.

This is fine. Master his path. Then do it your way. Sincerely.

Luckily, no one is holding a gun to your head. Then you would have to comply with his demands until he puts the gun down.

19. My husband (wife) is worried: who will take care of our children?

A person who changes himself always finds free time. Part of changing yourself is finding moments and reframing them in the way you would like to use them.

20. What if my friends think I'm crazy?

What kind of friends are these?

21. What if I want to be an astronaut?

This is not changing yourself. This is a specific profession. If you like space, there are many careers. Richard Branson wanted to be an astronaut and created Virgin Galactic.

22. What if I like to drink and hang out with friends?

Read this post again in a year.

23. What if I'm busy? Am I cheating on my spouse or betraying my partner?

Read this post again in two or three years, when you are broke, without a job and everyone has turned their backs on you.

24. What if I don’t know how to do anything at all?

Read point 2 again.

25. What if I don’t have a diploma or it’s of no use?

Read point 2 again.

26. What if I need to focus on paying off my mortgage or other loan?

Read point 19 again.

27. Why do I always feel like an outsider?

Albert Einstein was an outsider. No one in authority would hire him to work. Everyone sometimes feels like an impostor. The greatest creativity comes from skepticism.

28. I can't read 500 books. Name one book you should read for inspiration

Then you can give up right away.

29. What if I’m too sick to change myself?

The change will spur the production of beneficial substances in your body: serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin. Move forward and you may not get completely better, but you will become healthier. Don't use health as an excuse.

Finally, rebuild your health first. Get more sleep. Eat better. Play sports. These are the key steps to change.

30. What if my partner set me up and I’m still getting married to him?

Drop the lawsuit and never think about him again. Half the problem was you.

31. What if I am sent to prison?

Wonderful. Re-read point 2. Read more books in prison.

32. What if I am a timid person?

Make your weakness your strength. Introverts are better at listening and concentrating, and they know how to evoke sympathy.

33. What if I can’t wait five years?

If you plan to be alive in five years, you can start today.

34. How to make contacts?

Build concentric circles. You should be in the middle. The next circle is friends and family. Then - online communities. Then - people you know from informal meetings and tea parties. Then there are conference participants and opinion leaders in their field. Then - mentors. Then there are the clients and those who make money. Start making your way through these circles.

35. What if my ego starts getting in the way of what I'm doing?

In six months or a year you will return to point 2.

36. What if I'm passionate about two things at once? And I can't choose?

Combine them and you will be the best in the world at this combination.

37. What if I am so passionate that I want to teach others what I am learning myself?

Read lectures on YouTube. Start with an audience of one and see if it grows.

38. What if I want to earn money in my sleep?

In the fourth year, start outsourcing what you do.

39. How to find mentors and experts?

Once you have enough knowledge (after 100-200 books), write 10 ideas for 20 different potential mentors.

None of them will answer you. Write 10 more ideas for 20 new mentors. Repeat this every week.

40. What if I can’t come up with ideas?

Then practice it. The thinking muscles tend to atrophy. They need to be trained.

I will have a hard time reaching my toes if I don't practice every day. I need to do this exercise every day for some time before this pose becomes easy for me. Don't expect to have good ideas from day one.

42. What if I do everything you say, but nothing seems to work?

It will work out. Just wait. Keep changing yourself every day.

Don't try to find the end of the road. You won't be able to see it in the fog. But you can see the next step, and you will realize that if you take it, you will eventually reach the end of the road.

43. What if I start to feel depressed?

Sit in silence for an hour a day. You need to get back to your core.

If you think it sounds stupid, don't do it. Move on with your depression.

44. What if there is no time to sit in silence?

Then sit in silence for two hours a day. This is not meditation. You just have to sit.

45. What if I get scared?

Sleep 8-9 hours a night and never engage in gossip. Sleep is the first secret good health. Not the only one, but the first. Some people write to me that four hours of sleep is enough for them or that in their country those who sleep a lot are considered lazy. These people will fail and die young.

When it comes to gossip, our brains are biologically programmed to have 150 friends. And when you talk to one of your friends, you might gossip about one of the other 150. And if you don't have 150 friends, your brain will want to read gossip magazines until it thinks it has 150 friends.

Don't be as stupid as your brain.

46. ​​What if it seems to me that I will never succeed?

Practice gratitude for 10 minutes a day. Don't suppress your fear. Notice your anger.

But also allow yourself to be grateful for what you have. Anger never inspires, but gratitude never inspires. Gratitude is the bridge between your world and parallel universe, where all creative ideas live.

47. What if I constantly have to deal with some personal squabbles?

Find other people to be around.

A person who changes himself will constantly encounter people who try to suppress him. The brain is afraid of change - it may be unsafe. Biologically, the brain wants safety for you, and change is risk. So your brain will give you people trying to stop you.

Learn to say no.

48. What if I am happy in my office job?

49. Why should I trust you? You've failed so many times

Don't trust me.

50. Will you become my mentor?
