If you’re someone that always wishes their life could be different, then you’ve come to the right post. More often than not, there’s something that we’re unhappy with in our lives. And although you know that you may need to make a change, you don’t always want to. Sometimes, you have commitments and responsibilities that mean you can’t make drastic changes. And sometimes, you’re too scared to do anything too different, or you’re just content with the way you are right now. But at the same time, there’s that feeling in the back of your mind that you need to do things differently.

However, you don’t always have to make crazy changes in your life to see an improvement. More often than not, it’s the little things that make the most difference. Whether you feel bored of your life, unhealthy, or just plain unhappy, you’ll be glad to know that there are relatively small things and simple swaps that you can make to see a huge difference in the way that you feel. Because this is often what it comes down to - the way that you feel. So if you’ve always wanted to be able to live differently or feel better in yourself, here are seven tips to help you do it.

1. Disconnect

The very first thing that you will find helps you is to consciously stop relying on your devices so much. If you find yourself always on your phone or checking your social media automatically, then you’ll be doing more damage than you realize. When you’re constantly ‘on’ all of the time, you’re not being productive, your mind will be too active, and you’ll probably start to compare yourselves to others too - none of which makes you feel good. But when you disconnect and start to become more present, you’ll be able to enjoy life a lot more.

2. Wake Up Earlier

Next, you’ll find that making a conscious decision to wake up a bit earlier (sans snooze) is going to help you too. Not only will you be able to make the most of your morning, but by getting straight out of bed, you’ll be starting the day off on the right foot too.

3. Commit To Exercise

You don’t have to become a huge fitness buff in order to feel good in your own body. In fact, it’s often just as easy to committing to moving more. When you want to get a little more active, it’s going to go a long way to helping you feel much happier in life.  It's really easy to do home workouts now so you don't even have to leave the house to get fit.

4. Make Healthy Swaps

At the same time, you don’t always have to go cold turkey with other areas of your life either. Sometimes, making healthier swaps is going to help you out instead. From choosing no-added-sugar items, eating more fruit and veg rather than your usual guilty pleasures, you’ll be doing a lot for your health. And when you start to feel a bit healthier, you’ll always feel better in yourself.

5. Opt For Homemade

And when it does come to your food, deciding to only eat homemade food will do you the world of good. When you constantly buy takeout or you’re getting processed meals from the grocery store, you will be harming your health. Choosing to make all of your meals from scratch will make so much difference. You’ll be fueling your body properly, you’ll have more energy, and it’s much cheaper too.

6. Stay Positive

You may not realize it, but you’re always heavily influenced by the people that you spend time with. If you find yourself surrounded by negative people, it is going to impact on how you feel in life. So, one of the best ways to make sure that you can really change your entire outlook on life, is to make sure that you’re being a lot more positive, and that you’re surrounding yourself with people that lift you up too.

7. Laugh More

And finally, you should also think about what you can do to bring some more laughter into your life. If you find that you’re naturally quite negative or down a lot of the time, you may be the source of your unhappiness. So instead of letting this become a natural occurrence, you’re going to want to actively try and laugh more. Point six will definitely help with this, but you might also find that making fun plans and enjoying a more lighthearted life can also help.
