Have you ever felt so down that you can no longer think of a reason to continue? Did you once lose all your motivations and reasons that used to push you forward? What if you knew that the solution comes from seven actions that all start with ‘RE’ ?
At some point, we all long for a fresh start, a rebirth and a new beginning. When life deals us a hand of hard knocks, low blows, or personal storms, it’s time to cry out into the universe for a change. Like a crawling caterpillar transforming into a flying butterfly, you can change your life dramatically by applying the meanings of the following ‘RE’ words.
1. Rest
Before you start changing, you need to rest a little to catch deep breath, analyze the reasons behind your desire of the change. Meanwhile, Draw your road map, put a plan with specific milestones and time frame, be reasonable knowing your qualifications and how to develop them. Dedicate everything for the sake of achieving your target. You’re now about to start a new path, you will accept all consequences, and learning from them, you just learned what not to do. So rest to begin again with what you now know.
2. Release
Most of negative thoughts, habits and actions are only a part of your life because you keep thinking about and doing them. Positive things happen in your life only when you release negativity out of your mind. So stop holding on to what hurts, and make room for what feels right. Replace your obstacles with motivation and inspiration.
3. Realize
You should realize that everything happens for you at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. For everything you lose, you gain something else; and for everything you gain, you lose something else. Deal with all circumstances as they are a gift for you. You don’t have to like it, but it’s just easier if you do. So pay attention to your outlook on life. You can either regret or rejoice; it’s your choice.
4. Read
Nothing is more beautiful and powerful than imagination. It’s the gift with which you can manifest the world you want to create. Imagination is always charged with reading, not only what you are doing right now with these lines. What I also mean by reading is to be alert with all the circumstances around. You should foresee and predict the changes that might happen and be ready for it. By that you will have the strength to rise above unexpected obstacles. Here comes the real maturity what has made you the person you are today, and the person you are capable of being tomorrow.
5. Regard
Sometimes all you need to do is look at things from a different perspective. The first step toward positive change is to change your outlook. Prepare for the positive, for the new. Allow the unknown to take you to fresh and unforeseen areas in
yourself. Growth is impossible without change. If you cannot change the way you see things, you cannot change anything in your life. Change here isn’t part of the process, it is the process. In reality the only thing we can count on is change.
6. Redirect (when needed)
Nothing is absolutely wrong or right, we learn from every step we take. Whatever you did today was a necessary step to get to tomorrow. But when life’s struggles knock you into a pit so deep that you can’t see anything but darkness, don’t waste
valuable energy trying to dig your way through. It’s a sign there’s something needs to be modified in your plan. You’re likely heading into the wrong direction and only digging the pit deeper. Instead, use what energy you have to redirect towards the desired dream.
7. Reach
Now you are approaching your goal. It took you effort to achieve it. So be proud of yourself. Maybe you are not as good as you want to be yet; but thanks to all the lessons you’ve learned along the way, you are so much better than you used to be. Good things come to those who work for them. You gained confidence and grew stronger by every experience into which you push yourself. Remember when you were standing in that place of in-between, unable or unwilling to go backwards, but too afraid to move forward, remember that! Now you can enjoy the view from the top of your dream mountain.
