Using your mind to improve your personal life is a great start to achieving. When you use your mind, you set out to gain qualities that guide you in the right direction. 

To use your mind to improve your life consider these areas.

1. Commitments:
2. Skills:
3. Priorities:
4. Failure:
5. Saying no:
6. Rules:
7. Trial rides:

Commitments:

We all have commitments. Commitment is a part of life. When you have commitments, you enter into promises that you will get something done. Start making commitments to you. I commit to change habits that hinder me from achieving my goals or improving my personal life.

Skills:

Evaluate your skills to see how you can use them to better your life. While you are evaluating your skills, look for new skills. Reach deep inside you, accept the discomforts, fears, or things you do not like, look past them and find new skills.

Priorities:

Do you have your priorities straight? Do you have all your plans in perspective? Re-evaluate your plans to make sure that you are on the right path to improve your personal life. If you notice areas you can improve, donít be afraid to take action. Taking action is the last step you will take in anything you do that helps to improve your life.

Failure:

How do you view failure? It is said that turning Failure upside down is an achievement. Failure is common and happens to all us daily. Failure helps us to learn how to develop and grow into a better person. If you sit around stressing failure, then you are heading nowhere quick. Failure is a part of life. You have failure around you, in you, and in your future. Learn from your failures, accept your blame and move to make things better for you.

Saying no:

People hear the word no and fear it. No is not a rejection, rather no is a positive action you take to spare your future. When you say no I am not going to the bar, you are saying I have better things to do than waste my time in a building filled with drunks. Sometimes you have to tell someone you love no. For instance, you may have to tell your mate no when he or she asks you to watch television when you know you have to study. Don’t let your mate hold you back. It is ok to say no.

Rules:

We all follow rules. Rules is a part of life, which sometimes the rules are hard to digest. You have to learn to open up your passageway and digest them anyway unless you are willing to stand up and protest in a positive way. People complaining about rules they don’t like and not taking action is wasting everyoneís time. You have the power, yet it takes you to use that power.

Practice rides:

Life is filled with practice rides. Everyday we walk out our door we are on a trial ride. Each day we have good trials and bad trials. How do you handle trials? If you are willing to take risks in life, likely you handle trials well. On the other hand, if you fear changes, then you will need to find a way to deal with the trials in life. Unfortunately, too many people deal with these trials by drinking excessively or drugging. Don’t be one of these people.

You have many options in life. Good options and adverse options will come your very each day. Sometimes you will choose bad options, yet when you make mistakes, don’t dwell rather pull up your resources to see how you could have done things differently, and do it different the next time.
