One NEW Decision

We live our lives making decisions every day but how often do you make a NEW decision?

Yes, every day we're making decisions but most of the time they're the same decisions. We wake up at the same time, we eat the same thing as we're running out the door to make it to work on time, we listen to the same people on the same radio station and most often we do our job the same as the day before. 

Have you ever thought about how one decision could've changed your life? 

Have you ever looked back on your life and thought...

• What if I had taken that job?
• What if I had moved to _______________?
• What if I had said yes to that opportunity?
• What if I had dated that guy?

What if.

Well, this is the thing... we can't live wondering about the "what ifs" but we can make a decision to change the course of our life simply by making ONE NEW DECISION different than the norm today and then tomorrow and then the next day and so on...

What if...you decided to make ONE NEW DECISION a day? 

• How would your life change?
• Who would you meet?
• What opportunities would arise? 

Imagine this... tomorrow you decide to get up thirty minutes earlier than normal to take a brisk walk (one new decision...just one!). Then the next day you get up again thirty minutes earlier, take a brisk walk AND THEN practice gratitude while on your walk thanking God for all your blessings (one new decision....just one!).  Then the next day you get up again thirty minutes earlier, take a brisk walk, practice gratitude while on your walk thanking God for all your blessings AND THEN you decide to listen to an inspiring podcast while driving into work (one new decision a day....just one!).

HOW WOULD THIS CHANGE YOUR LIFE? 
First of all you in this particular case you will have more joy because within five minutes of moving your body, you will feel happier! Once you get moving, your brain releases serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. These chemicals make you feel good!  So it's proven, starting your day moving your body will only improve how you feel about your day. 

Then, practicing gratitude allows us to see everything that's good in our life rather than focusing on what's wrong.  It's proven that people who practice gratitude daily tend to be more positive, sleep better and are overall healthier.  When you feel good and you have a positive attitude, people are drawn to you.  You'll meet interesting people and they could potentially introduce you to something new and exciting. 

Lastly, when we feed our minds with inspiration in this case, through a podcast, we can't help but feel more motivated in conquering what's important to us.  It sends a jolt of excitement to want more in life and the more you feed this part of who you are the more successful in life you'll be.  This then leads to you being more active and taking action in reaching your goals. Opportunity then arises and before you know it you're on the path you've always dreamed of walking. 

These are just three examples, of three new decisions, made over three days.  Can you imagine if every day you added upon each new decision you made where your life would take you... simply by making ONE NEW DECISION A DAY!?

YOU WOULD LOVE WHAT'S NEXT!! 

To change the level of joy you have in your life,  it doesn't take a major transformation...it takes simple, daily, new decisions built upon each other to re-discover what's next for you in this new phase in life.
