Transforming your life is possible if you made the decision to consistently take action steps toward your dreams. Asking yourself these ten questions will help!
It is easier than you might think to transform your life, but it requires consistent diligence and a willingness to pay attention to your internal landscape. By doing so, you will uncover your deepest hopes, dreams, and desires, and you will develop the ability to let your "knowing" self guide you in the right direction. To get started, you might want to ask yourself the following questions each morning when you first wake up. Write the questions and your responses in a journal. It will become your guidebook as you begin to chart your course.
By answering this question, you determine your priorities and increase the chances of accomplishing them. You might want to add a couple more important things, but don't overwhelm yourself.
Trust your gut to know exactly what you need to do to accomplish your goals. All you have to do is listen to that quiet voice inside yourself.
Becoming aware that you create your own mood is a powerful mechanism for transformation. By intentionally setting out to do so, you will discover this amazing ability inside yourself.
Once you have determined the mood you plan to create for the day, your answers to this question will give you some guidelines for doing so.
What is draining you of energy? Maybe you want to get rid of the excess papers on your desk. Perhaps, you need to let go of some anger that has been feeding negative energy. Maybe there's a nagging errand you need to complete in order to be able to let it go. You decide.
The ability to take small risks in the right direction is key to taking charge of your life. It's scary, but if you do so on a continual basis you'll create a tremendous amount of faith in your own abilities.
Determining the answer to this question in advance also helps you to steer your life as opposed to allowing it to steer you.
If you do something every day to move your dream forward, you will be surprised at how effortless the process becomes. Before you know it, you will be living the life of your dreams!
Knowing the answer to this question will be invaluable if you experience difficulties along the way. It might be a close friend, a spouse, parent, or life coach. Make sure it is someone you trust and who will support your efforts.
This is not a dress rehearsal for your real life. Each day is a gift to cherish. Make sure that you demonstrate to yourself that you matter by doing something special in the way of self-care each day. After all, if you don't deserve it, who does?

Create a Wish List!
When you find yourself in the middle of the winter doldrums, sometimes it's fun to sit down with your favorite beverage, grab a notebook and pen, and create your ultimate wish list. This is the time to give the "dreamer" in you free reign. Don't hold back. Don't judge your wishes. Don't limit yourself by what you believe is possible.
Love in an Action Verb!
I love you! These three words mean so much...some of the time. At other times, they can merely be hollow words with nothing evident in sight to back them up. To see how our love stacks up in terms of action, we can ask ourselves these questions.
