4. Slowly change your daily routine.
Identify your routine and one-by-one remove the negative elements.

9. Plan.
Plan and take some time to become aware of what you want to change. Think about the following: what is important to you, your vision/desires, and how you will get there. It’s important to take small steps and not to expect it to happen overnight.
