 So it's 2021. Maybe your life has been decimated by coronavirus or by something going on with your health or something going on with your family. And you're realizing that you have to do something to improve and change your life. But where do you even begin? In this video, I want to share which habits to work on to start changing your life today or this year. What's up guys? Alex Hyen, author of the book, Milk the Pigeon, a field guide for anyone lost in their 20s, which is now on Amazon. I've included a free download right below this video. The first link is for a free journaling guide to help you figure out what the hell to do with your life and how to script it and strategize it going forward. So you can check it out right below this video. So this essential question is really, where do I begin, right? Like, where do I begin if I have financial habits to work on, if I have wellness habits to work on, if I have relationship habits to work on. I read the story about this author and how he got started being an author. And this was a year of his life where he was describing the absolute worst thing that ever happened to him. He was saying that all in one year, he got light off from his job, his father developed a brain tumor and then died. And three months later, his wife divorced him. So in a six month period, this guy lost his job. He lost his wife, the number one person in his life. Then he lost his dad all in a very short period of time. And he went from being someone who is very positive and very upbeat and very optimistic about life to someone who is incredibly depressed, borderline suicidal, and was basically trying to find any little reason he could keep going in life. And he said that for a year, all he did was a simple exercise, which was he would take time every day to find one tiny good thing that made him feel good about life. And as he did this daily for a year, he ended up coming up with a list of all these little things that he realized made him feel really happy in life. And that ended up becoming his first book, which became a New York Times bestselling book and transformed the direction of his life. Now, even though he didn't get his wife back or his ex wife, and even though he didn't get his dad back, it was just this realization that you can start with really, really tiny things and they can make a huge difference in the direction of your life going forward. So where do you begin? I would recommend start with two tiny daily rituals. The first is you start with a part of your life that frankly sucks, pick one quadrant of your life that is consistently the worst. So if you know that finances are always the thing you're complaining about to the person you're dating, that's the thing you struggle with, you stress about, you dream about, then start picking maybe for a month, your daily ritual is you read the top five books on personal finance, and then that's what you begin implementing in your daily life, reading 30 minutes a day about personal finance. If the quadrant of your life that is always struggling is that you complain about being single and it's been eight years, well then maybe that's the area of your life you focus on for your tiny daily rituals, and you consume the top five or seven books or 10 on relationships and love. And so you take 30 minutes every morning, you go through these are the best selling personal development books for relationships, and then that becomes the one thing you work on for a few rituals a day. So the first aspect of your life that I suggest is if you're rebuilding your life from nothing, pick literally the worst part of your life, the area you complain about the most or causes the most pain, but then paradoxically on the other side, pick the part of your life that actually excites you the most. So if the most exciting part of your life is dating, then choose that to work on, or if the most exciting part of your life is that you finally want to become a YouTuber, or you want to finally write a book, or you want to take that trip to Japan because there's some spiritual pilgrimage you want to do there, and that would be the part of your life that I would recommend working on. So realistically, when it comes to like your daily plan for life free invention, I would have a piece of paper and on one side it's the three rituals I need to work on because my financial life is the worst part of my life, and then the three rituals I need to work on because this is the most exciting project in my day, trying to get that side hustle or that side business to happen. This reinvention is almost like a yin yang pair where on one side you have something that's painful and something that deeply energizes you, and these two aspects can ensure that you're excited about the day, but you're also realistically working on the things that you really have to work on to live a better life. All right you guys, so that is your tiny daily ritual or your tiny daily action step for today. Now again, before you go down below this video is a free journaling worksheet if you want to learn how to reinvent your life and script out those parts of your life that are maybe not so good.
