If you’re not happy right now, here’s something powerful you can do today.
Grab a bit of paper. Draw a line straight down the middle.
On the left side, write down everything that’s making you unhappy right now. Be real with yourself; no one’s going to see it.
Example:
My weight
No money
Can’t sleep
Where I live
My neighbour's kid
Not having a partner
Now, on the right side, next to each one, write down what would make it better, and make it clear and measurable.
You can't just put 'lose weight'; it's too broad, and there is no finish line to it.
Example:
My weight → Lose 5 stone
No money → Make £5,000
Can’t sleep → Sleep 8 hours a night
Where I live → Move
My friends → Cut them off
My neighbour’s kid → Speak to the parents and set boundaries
Not having a partner → Go on 4 dates a month
Then once you’ve got that done, take it one step further.
Underneath, write out what you need to do to make each one happen.
For example:
Lose 5 stone → Join a gym, plan my meals, track calories, get accountability.
Make £5,000 → Learn a skill, start a side business, cut out wasted spending.
If you don't know what to do then your plan of action will be something like this.
Can't sleep - Speak to a sleeping expert and learn what I need to do and do it.
It sounds simple, but this task can change how you see your life.
It turns problems into targets, and targets into a plan.
Because once something has a number next to it, It’s no longer a wish.
It’s a goal. And goals can be achieved.
And this alone will make you happier because it helps you open a light to the end of a tunnel and it gives you a bit of motivation to make yourself happier.
Of course it won't be easy, but achieving anything great is never easy to achieve.
Every adventure starts with a step.
