When you think of changing your life, you might think of something big like moving to a different country, quitting your job, or leaving your relationship. These things are definitely life-changing, but you don’t have to go to those lengths to change your life. Here are seven things you can begin doing today.

1. Break a bad habit

It’s difficult, but breaking a bad habit can improve your life. It doesn’t matter what the bad habit is. If it’s something that bothers you, you can work on replacing it with a better habit. It might take a few attempts, but if you don’t give up, you’ll eventually break it. Anything worth achieving takes time. It takes 21 days to create a new habit, so don’t be too on yourself if you can’t break it on the first try.

2. Learn a second language

Learning a second language is great for your brain. It’s a challenge that will help keep your brain active and cut the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s. Knowing a second, or third language, can help you in the business world as well. It looks good on your résumé if you can speak more than one language since business is done across the world these days. If you enjoy traveling, you can learn basic words and phrases of the places you visit.

3. Meditate

If you’re intimidated by the thought of meditation, it’s important to know that even five minutes a day is enough to benefit your life. Meditation helps to improve focus, self-esteem, and relaxation while reducing depression, anxiety, and blood pressure. Commit to meditating for at least minutes each day and increase your time little by little.

4. Get off the couch

If you want to change your life, spend less time on the couch watching television. By reducing the amount of time you spend sitting around you can become more active and productive. You can try new hobbies, get things done around the house, or spend time outdoors. One of the changes you may notice is that you begin to drop some weight. You won’t be lounging on the couch eating snacks for hours on end anymore. That combined with moving your body more is bound to result in weight loss.

5. Remove toxic people from your life

In order to live a happier life, you must remove toxic people from it. People who are selfish, complain constantly, and gossip are not people you need to waste time with. These types of people not only ruin your mood, but can drain your energy as well. Once you remove these toxic people from your life and replace them with positive and supportive ones, you will feel an instant change in your mood and your life.

6. Save money

Make saving money a requirement in your life no matter how much money you earn. Make it as important as paying your bills because saving is like paying yourself. You might not know what your future holds, but you’ll need money when you get there whether it’s to buy a home or retire in Hawaii. It’s never too early to start saving. If you can only tuck away $10 each week, begin with that. You may find things you can cut from your spending to save a little more. For example, do you really need a $5 specialty coffee every single morning? If you only bought two a week, you could save yourself money (and calories).

7. Increase water intake

Your body is made up mostly of water. This means it requires constant hydration. Without proper hydration you may suffer from low energy, brain fog, and a low mood. If you suffer from any of these issues, increase your water intake before you reach for coffee or energy drinks. Your life will improve drastically when you begin to drink more water.

Changing your life can happen with small changes to your daily life. These changes can make you feel happier, more optimistic, and energetic, which will result in other changes in your life such as productivity and success.
