Right, let’s get this straight: I’m about to share a little life hack with you. We’ve all got 30 days to spare, right? Worst-case scenario, you’ll have wasted a bit of time and ink. Best-case? You could finally start living that dream life you’ve been scrolling through on Instagram.
So grab a pen and paper and let’s get into it.
Write It Down Like It’s Already Happened
First off, you’re going to write your dream life down as if you’ve already achieved it. Don’t just scribble some vague goals like, “I want to be rich” or “I want to travel.” No, you’ve got to get specific.
What happens when you write your goals down is that your brain kicks into gear and starts working toward them, even when you don’t realise it. It’s like when you’re driving and suddenly end up at your destination without really thinking about it. Your mind doesn’t know the difference between what’s real and what you tell it. So, if you tell it enough times that you’re living this great life, guess what? Your mind’s going to start doing its best to make that true.
Stop Feeding Your Mind Junk
Now, if you’re serious about changing your life, you’re going to need to stop feeding your mind junk. No more pointless TikToks or sad breakup playlists. I know it feels like wallowing in your misery is somehow productive, but it’s not. What you watch, what you listen to, and who you spend time with all directly shape your reality. If you’re constantly surrounding yourself with negativity, you’re never going to break out of it.
It’s like trying to lose weight while eating McDonald’s every day. You can’t expect to see results if you’re filling your mind with nonsense. So, if you’ve been spending your evenings watching videos of people’s “perfect” lives while drowning yourself in sad music, it’s time to cut that out. Swap it for content that’s going to push you forward.
Create Your Own “Mind Movie”
If writing down your dreams is the first step, then creating a “mind movie” is like pouring fuel on the fire. Instead of just hoping you’ll reach your vague desires, this method adds clarity. You’re not just saying, “I want to be rich.” You’re visualising the exact house, the specific car, and the bank balance with multiple zeros. You’re telling your brain what to aim for.
Now, don’t worry, you don’t need to be a film editor for this. It can be as simple as throwing together a few images and a few positive phrases that represent what you want. Stick it all together, and you’ve got yourself a mind movie. It doesn’t matter if it’s basic; what matters is that you’re programming your mind with the right material. Watch it when you wake up. Watch it before bed. You’ll start to notice that you’re slowly but surely moving in the direction of the life you actually want. It might sound ridiculous, but give it 30 days. Try it. Worst case, you’ll have spent a bit of time dreaming about a better future.
Best case, you’ll actually start living it.
