good luck bad luck

When everything goes well for a long time, your expectations become unrealistic.

invisible hassles

It takes new eyes to see all the hassles you live with every day. Any hassle that repeats regularly, disappears into the background in a matter of days. In this way, most of the opportunities to improve your life become invisible to you. To make them visible again, you must find one and take action on it, then another, and another.

days gone by

Days after you remove clutter from a room, you are ready to see more clutter there. This is clutter that previously was hidden by the other clutter.

lights, camera, go to it

If the main purpose of a plan is to get you to take action instead of sitting around, then make the plan as simple and believable as you can. Instead of a five-year plan, maybe you could write a five-day plan. Instead of a five-day plan, maybe a five-word slogan would be enough.

Thinking of songs from years ago is a sign that your life is changing. You reach deeper in your memory for songs because the soundtrack of the last few weeks will not serve.

A weather forecaster can predict the weather for tomorrow with some accuracy, but the prediction of next week’s weather is little more than a guess. There is a similar difficulty when you try to predict the goals and obstacles in your life.

new agenda

It can take a few days to get used to a surprise change. Then it starts to become clear what you need to do differently.

can’t go for that

Just ignore food cravings that occur about 5 days after you stop eating an unhealthy food.

voice

Find ideal examples of the way you are physically capable of speaking, then visualize yourself speaking that way.

ways

After you change your beliefs, it can take several days to realize that you may have to make a corresponding change in your habits.

5 days

It’s not too late to change your life around this year.

five days

Anytime you maintain a clear focus on a future outcome for yourself for five days in a row, the change you are thinking of becomes part of you.

decide that this is big

When you are completely ready to change, the extent of the changes you experience can be shocking.

routine

Your routine is not as normal as you think it is. It seems normal to you because, after a few days, you got used to it.

When you rearrange the furniture, it takes a few days to get used to the changes. Then you begin to forget the way it was before.

You cannot really say you have committed a fact to memory until you have tested yourself five days later.

If changes you introduce in your routine seem strange, give yourself five days to get used to them before you introduce the next changes.

After you change a room by taking away clutter, it may take five days to get used to the new look before you can find more clutter to take away.

If you knew exactly what to do, it would take less than five days to turn a dreary, cluttered house into a vacation home. If you start out knowing nothing about what to do, it can take two years — but that’s still not bad compared to the alternative of leaving things the way they are.
