To succeed at work and in life, do not always do the same thing over and over again, you must start changing, renew, but without losing your essence. But how can you ensure that you are getting better every day?

It is assumed that if you set yourself certain goals in life and start working on their achievement, you will automatically improve the quality of your life.

However, with each long-term goal comes a number of problems: what choice should be made, which decision should be made, which way to go, and how much effort you put into it. When you evaluate what is the current quality of your life and see where the gaps are, you can focus on the opportunities that you have to come up with improvements.

 

Review the experience and the aspects that are most closely related to quality of life

Do Every Day To Improve Your Life

Ask yourself and think about which of these items are present with you, and which do not meet your expectations:

  • Positive emotions – Moments or extended periods of time when you felt any of the positive emotions (happiness, gratitude, closeness, trust, calmness, respect, inspiration).
  • Commitment – Time periods when you are so dedicated to what you do when you have a clear focus so that you lose track of time, and you feel induced to give their best and reach a higher level.
  • Relationships – The quality of our relationships with other people is closely linked to the quality of our lives. The power of social support we have is essential for the development of our capacity for coping with life’s challenges. Connections are often the main source of many other aspects of quality of life, especially positive emotions.
  • The meaning – That’s what extent are all our efforts, and everything we do in life is linked to some “higher goals” significantly contributes to the development of our self-confidence and the desire to continue the efforts. The opposite of that is the feeling that in vain, wasting time on meaningless things that have no connection with any “higher goal.”
  • The achievements – The sense of achievement is closely related to how much time we can achieve with our imagined and defined list of tasks of life. But it also includes just a positive feeling that we have when we solve something much less important (sudoku, crosswords, the level of some games …).

 

Explore how your brain makes decisions

 

Many people make decisions every day that affects the quality of life, or routines (the way in which we start the day, what we choose to eat, what clothes we wear …) and the usual response (eating when we are nervous, swearing and shouting at other drivers who annoy us in traffic …) are something like our autopilot. 

It takes a lot of effort to eventually activate a cognitive thinking in such situations, and how to make better decisions. For example, when you feel that you are flooding the unwanted emotions, you have a few moments to ask yourself the for the strategic issues and possibly make a better decision about what you first do or say in such a situation.
