Are you living your life or drudging through your life? To live your life means that you are doing the things you have to do and also have room to enjoy your life. All people want to be happy and have their life have meaning. Yet many people are so stressed by the demands of daily living that life feels hard. These 7 tips are designed to help you regain control over your life.1. Take Ownership of Your AttitudeWe control our attitude. It is not something that is genetically or environmentally determined. We can choose to have a positive attitude about life. You can look at a glass as half full or half empty. The choice is yours.2. Be Non-JudgmentalLet go of being critical of others. Open yourself up to not judging others. Try instead to listen and understand. As you open yourself up to not judging others you will be able to accept and enjoy yourself and others more.3. Eliminate What You Are ToleratingTolerations are things we put up with that we do not really have to. We all tolerate more than we realize. Think about what you are tolerating. Just by becoming aware of and articulating some of your tolerations you will naturally start handling, eliminating, and fixing them.4. Let go of Things That Do Not MatterMuch energy can be spent on being irritated and annoyed by things that really do not matter much. Put things in perspective and let go of a lot of it.5. Become Incredibly Selfish About Who You AreYou need to matter to yourself. Establish boundaries with bother people so they do not take advantage of you. Love who you are. You are unique and special. Stop trying to be someone else.6. Make Shifts That Reflect Who You AreYour behavior has to be grounded in your values. Focus on what you want your life to be like rather than a specific behavior you want to change. For example: I will exercise regularly. Shift: I am someone who values my body and I will eat only healthy foods. When you make this shift you also will set up an exercise schedule and diet that reflects your values.7. Have Fun in The PresentTake delight in life and create fun experiences for yourself. Life needs to be lived in the present and you might as well laugh and enjoy yourself.For more tips and tools on self-improvement and enhancing your relationship please visit: http://www.kristinavonr.com by relationship expert Kristina von Rosenvinge
