People get stuck in a rut thinking they don’t have the time to change. Making over your life doesn’t have to take a large chunk of time or energy. It can be as simple as taking 10 minutes each day to do something different for you or someone you care about.
10-minute makeover ideas:
- Just stop! Don’t clean, don’t eat, don’t check your email, or do the laundry, just take a break and clear your mind. You might be surprised how clear things become when you take a cleansing break from the demands of life.
- Say thank you. Phone a friend, sit down with your child, or have a conversation with your partner and express your gratitude.
- Get in touch with your divine side. Pray, meditate, find some solitude and honor that part of yourself that is fed spiritually.
- Do something nice for someone. Nothing fancy or elaborate, just a heartfelt act of kindness. Make a bed, pick up some flowers, or leave a note.
- Change your routine. Mixing up the pattern of everyday life changes the way we see the world. Take the scenic way home, tickle a loved one, or say hi to a stranger. By introducing novel change, your view of the world shifts.
- Embrace the positive. Instead of rolling out of bed thinking about the all the obligations that lay ahead, set your sites on the positives. Yes, it’s going to be a fabulous, joy filled day!
Creating change in your life doesn’t have to be a massive undertaking. It’s the little 10 minute make-overs that make “difference” happen.
