Focus on getting your habits right in the present moment
In the world of personal transformation, you’ll find all sorts of suggestions to set elaborate and detailed future goals, and to maintain a highly future-directed focus, in general.In fact, however, there are serious potential issues with becoming too future and goal-focused.For one thing, it puts you in a mental state of “lack” and failure, as you’re always relying on some achievement at some point in the future, in order to feel fulfilled and accomplished.For another thing, life only ever actually unfolds in the present moment.For this reason, focusing on getting your habits right in the present moment is likely to be one of the most powerful and effective paths to self transformation.As the writer and habit expert James Clear argues, each repetition of a given habit is a “vote” for the identity you’re trying to create for yourself.

Start changing how you use your word
Most people, going through day-to-day life, use the power of their word in a pretty casual and unconscious way.When push comes to shove, however, the way you use your word can have a dramatic impact on your own life and your surroundings, too.If you habitually talk down to yourself, or gossip about other people, you create patterns of emotion and thought in your life that fuel pessimism and drain you of enthusiasm and energy, not to mention spreading misery and irritation around you.Become more mindful of how you use your word, and try to use it in a more creative and empowering manner.
Look for ways of connecting with a deeper and richer sense of meaning, instead of being primarily ego driven
Motivations that come from the “ego” include things like the desire to be seen as cool, dominant, and sexy. Motivations that come from a deeper and richer sense of meaning, however, emphasise the importance of things like relationships, alignment, and creativity. Always being on the lookout for ways to connect with a deeper and richer sense of meaning, instead of being primarily ego driven, can be an extremely powerful way of transforming your life, and moving onto a more empowered and motivational path in general.
