How to Change Your Life

My Denver clients are always asking me how they can make changes in their lives – in their relationships, careers, and with friends? Here’s a simple formula to step you through your changes.

  1. First figure out what areas(s) of your life you need to change and start a blank page for each, i.e. work, money, weight, relationships with a mate, relationships with family, health, stop smoking or drinking so much, getting new friends, etc.
  2. Take each area and make a list of your goals, what you’d like to change.
  3. Take baby steps, like gathering information about a class or finding out what it costs to start up a certain kind of business.
  4. Think of activities and hobbies that can help you change and maybe even add new excitement to your life, i.e. pursuing new friendships, following up with art classes, learning to cook (for healthier and dieting), traveling, moving, redecorating, starting a new business, planning your garden, etc.
  5. If you feel stuck in any ways, maybe it’s time to finally decide to go to counseling and get help, even if it’s just for a few sessions to get unstuck.
