When we think about creating sweeping switching in our lives, it often seems like a distant dream. When life gets in the way, it is easy to say that it’s “too late”, or that we will not be able to restart because we’re so set in our ways, whether it is our finances, career, or exercise plan.

Instead of sticking to the same old routine, realize you can switch your life in meaningful ways that will make you happier and more successful, starting today. If you want to, you can reinvent your life — that it is possible has scientifically proven, and plenty of entrepreneurs have done it before.

Here are five ways that will create that switch to show you that anything is possible.

1.   Design your life around happiness, and do not beat a dead horse.

Happiness might be like such an abstract concept. After all, a card or chocolate wrapper does not exactly give you a concrete way to create a happier life.

But you can home in on what happiness means to you, and restructure your life around it. Instead of just abstractly chasing your happiness, they suggest you journal it daily.

If you notice patterns or reoccurring themes, start switching your goals or routines to incorporate them.

 And do not beat a dead horse. If you have been trying to succeed at something for a while now and it has not been working, or even more important, it is not making you happy, it is time to try something else. It does not mean that you will be a failure. It means that you are smart enough to realize when something is not working out and that you have enough dignity to do something to make yourself happy.

2.   Take a journey or at least a 10-minute break from your screen.

If you can, take a  journey: Recharge, revitalize your mind and let loose. Science says it is the equivalent of hitting the reset button on your brain: It destroys stress and gives you a much-needed fresh perspective to create sweeping change.

Researchers suggest meditating in a quiet space — preferably in the fresh air. Not only will your eyeballs appreciate, but your mind will also have a chance to recharge.

3.   You are only as well as the people around you.

You might recall. when you were in high school, your parents would be told not to hang out with the wrong crowd, and it probably drove you crazy. I am so sorry to tell you, though that they were right.

If surround by people who smile and have a positive attitude. They have a better attitude compared with those who are surrounded by negative people.

It may not seem like a big deal, but start avoiding negative friends or negative colleagues whenever possible. If you can not avoid this, now is the time to start looking for a new job or social circle. The results will amaze you.

4.   Practice being personal finance in your future self.
