5 Inspiring Action Verbs That Will Change Your Life

We've all been stuck on that ‘hamster wheel’ at some point in our lives. It will happen again to many of us.

I, like you, remember the times when you don’t feel like being motivated, goals seem so distant. Inspiration has left the room.

(if this is not you, or never you – please write a book and tell everyone the secret!)

A few years ago, I met someone who looked at life in a completely different way – I would call it spiritual (in a non-religious way).

I went home and wrote down these five words

I find all the best self improvement experts tell you that you have to have a good attitude in order to improve your life. I would agree with that, but some days I feel like crap, life is hard and it’s not always that simple.

Some days the high achieving goals I set and the inspiration needed to walk that pathway is just tough.

I know deep down that the way forward to conquer the challenges is in small pieces. I lift my head and refocus on these five word on that pink post-it note above my PC.

These five words restart my engine, my energy, my thrust. I often find, afterwards, I'm not walking that pathway to greatness – I actually flying.

?And just like a plane needs to be refuelled, I use these 5 words to refuel my energy, my mindset, my journey.

?If you use these simple words, in a small way, frequently, you will naturally find yourself on the road to change Change for the better.

1. ?Give - Give to a charity, an individual in need, or simply a friend or relative. You don't have to give something expensive or big. Just a show of appreciation will do, such as a card or a flower. Why does it work... Giving is a very uplifting experience since it frees your mind from thinking that there is not enough in the world. Giving teaches you that there is plenty to go around, and it will cause you to attract more good things in your life.
2. ?Learn - Learn something new. Learn about something you know nothing about, or learn to play a song on the piano or guitar. Why it works... learning something new develops your nervous system and makes you think in ways you've never thought before.
3. ?Change - Change your routine, take a different route to work, change your usual clothing style, your hairstyle, or change what you normally eat. Why it works... change begets change. If you want a big change, start by making a small change.
4. ?Participate - Participate in community activities, a sports team, or join a club. Why it works... participation requires social interaction and creativity, both of which will stimulate and inspire.
5. ?Create - Create a piece of art, write a short story, make a bookshelf, or start a website. Why it works... creating stimulates all those dormant forces that allow change to enter your life.

Each time you perform one of these inspiring actions, take several minutes to feel good about it. You want your attitude to catch up to your actions. Also make sure that you enjoy the process, knowing that what you are doing is good for you and those around you as well.

Sometimes, just the exercise of reviewing these action verbs will be inspiration enough to get you thinking of what you could do to change your life.

I hope you enjoy using these inspiring action verbs to change your mindset.

I'm sure that now you can think of some on your own. (please share)

Remember, though, nothing happens without taking action!
