How To Start Living Life To The Fullest

By Freida Michael


There is no special formula for happiness or gaining the most out of your existence. However, there are certain traits you can develop to help you to learn how to start living life to the fullest. One of the first of these is to be completely honest with yourself and those around you. If your actions are always designed to keep others happy rather than yourself, there is a good chance you will end up unhappy and devoid of the energy to fulfill your dreams.

Without self acceptance, you will constantly live to please others. You need to leave the past behind, stop fretting about the future, and be fully open to the present. The failures of the past can haunt you to the extent that the present moments slip past unnoticed. Fears for the future or even a constant focus on future plans also mean the present is not fully experienced.

It is important to remain flexible. Changes are inevitable and learning to flow with these instead of constantly trying to resist them, opens you up to new possibilities. Take advantage of every unexpected opportunity that arises. Challenge your comfort zones and you will find you are stretched and enriched. You can start small, simply by taking a new route to work or going to a different restaurant. This will give you courage to make bigger and bigger changes.

It is often the simple pleasures in life that enrich it immeasurably. Take long walks, read good books, spend time with loved ones and get rid of other complications that steal your time. Perhaps you could choose to turn down some overtime work in favor of taking your children to the aquarium or get rid of some of the clutter in your home so as to really enjoy what remained.

The fact that we need to be flexible enough to embrace change, does not mean that we should not have goals. Deciding what you want out of life is an important step towards attaining it. However, set your goals clearly, make sure they are not influenced by the expectations of others and make them attainable. As they are achieved, self worth grows and a great sense of fulfillment is gained.

It is important to take care of your body so that you have the health to experience all things fully. This means eating a healthy diet, exercising and getting enough sleep. Constant over-indulgence may be enjoyable for a while but the enjoyment does not last. Being a workaholic may bring financial rewards but is the sacrifice of precious time really worth it?

Relationships are important in our quest to live full lives. When we live our lives selfishly, we find that our relationships suffer. Instead of sharing the happy moments with those we love the most, we may find ourselves alone and far from feeling fulfilled. We need to spend time with those we love and make sure they know we love them.

We do not know what the future holds for us. The best that we can do is face every challenge that comes boldly, grab every new opportunity and be as honest with ourselves and others as we can be. In the process, we need to cultivate considerate and loving relationships, leave behind negativity and savor each moment of the journey.
