is it possible to turn your life around ?

Updated: Jul 1

Do you find yourself in circumstances that are hurting you and ask how did I get here?


Do you feel overwhelmed by one bad thing after another happening in your life?


Do you know this isn’t who you are and it isn’t the life you want to lead but you don’t know where to start to change it?


If this sounds familiar, don’t lose hope. Things can change and it is possible to redirect your life onto a better path.


The key is taking it one step at a time. Depending on your circumstances you may benefit with help from a counsellor or therapist.


If you prefer to work on this by yourself here are some very basic suggestions to get you started.


  • Identify what needs to change, make a list.

  • Start with the easiest change.

  • Consider if some changes need to happen simultaneously.

  • Research ideas on how to make this change and select your method.

  • Commit to this action.

  • Record your progress.

  • Be patient if you take a back step.

  • Keep going.

  • Acknowledge and reward. milestones.

  • Celebrate your success.

  • Monitor ongoing commitment to sticking to the change.

  • Choose the next change.


This is very simplistic, and life is complex. So remember to include things like mindset, environment, influences, social groups, support, physical issues, etc when planning a strategy for change.


A major key is patience. Some of the situations we find ourselves in may have happened over years of tiny steps in that direction. Likewise, it may take some time to fully extract ourselves from these circumstances.


Each circumstance is different and there is no formula as to how long change can take. The great news is that it is possible and your motivation to make it happen will be a big part of your success.


Feel free to reach out if you would like our help to make change in your life.
