4 Quick Tips to Stand on Your Own Two Feet, Girl

Can you stand on your own two feet? Are you the independent type, or do you rely on others for your answers, care, and decisions? If you are looking to improve your independence, you are in luck! It is never too late to increase your independence, and doing so will significantly increase your freedom to enjoy your life with no limits!

Indeed, we are often the person who holds us back the most. And if you think that is true - what areas are you holding yourself back from achieving more success? Is it your health, finances, business, or relationships? It is probably more than one of these. So here are four areas of your life where you can create more independence and begin thinking for yourself:

1.  Health

I think everyone can agree that you cannot make gains in any other areas of your life without your health. To be independently healthy, you need to exercise good habits in your life, such as eating quality foods, getting the proper nutrition, and staying active. These are all choices that you make and must stick to continuously.

If you are overweight, take the initiative to do something about it. If you are relying on medications that could be eliminated with proper diet and exercise, then that is what you must work towards achieving. Build your first habit, and once you are comfortable with it, you will have the confidence to tackle the next change. Good health does not happen on its own!

2.  Finances

We are all aware that money does not buy happiness. Money does, though, allow you the freedom to have your own experiences without relying on others. Financial independence is a significant wealth goal. In most cases, it will take years, or even decades, to achieve. Whether you envision vacations on a warm beach, traveling the United States in a motor-home with your family for a year, or being able to afford luxury items, if you are not financially independent, you will never reach any of those fantastic goals.

Your financial objectives are unique to you. Think about your long-term goals. Financial independence means various things to different women. Tailor your spending patterns to balance your current needs and your future desires. Becoming financially independent does not happen overnight, but today is always a great day to plan and take steps toward that goal!

3.  Business

Business independence does not have to mean owning your own business, though it is one of the possibilities. What makes you independent in a business sense is having the highest quality skills to set you apart from your competition. Professional development is never a waste, especially if you own your own business. Business coaches are a high priority for many small business owners. Independence for small business owners means that any woman with the drive and determination can become a business owner.

Whether through Multi-Level Marketing, a product to sell, or somewhere between, any woman can own a business. With the availability of the internet, almost any woman can have a global small business without a significant investment. They can have the freedom to set their hours, choose their target market and be creative.

     4. Relationships

 To indeed be independent, you must not be in codependent relationships where you cannot act or think for yourself. You will find it incredibly empowering to be in control of your decisions and input into relationships - whether they are personal or business. You will become more valuable to those around you when you think and act for yourself.

Also, surround yourself with individuals in your personal life and business that encourage you and cheer you on. They should have like-minded goals and passions, energize you, and hold you accountable. You need highly positive, motivated, and enthusiastic people on all sides of you that will walk beside you on your path with love and support.
