NightCrawler. Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 For me I'd have to say it's been reading close to an hour of non-fiction daily and making it a habit. I've just learnt so much stuff from some of the best minds and its translated into a better mentality as well as a deeper understanding of the various facets of life. I read a lot about productivity, money, time management, happiness, goals, approaching life, lifestyle design etc. With that knowledge continually coming in, a cascading effect on the way I operate, and better life choices have come. All by simply reading 45mins per day. What was the one lifestyle change you made that had the greatest impact on you? :) Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting divorced then re-married and having a 3rd child at 40! :woot: But to answer the OP, It was having my 3rd child at 40 would be the single change that had the greatest effect on my life!

NightCrawler. Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Really insightful stuff guys, keep it coming. Some of you had said having a child was a big change. I can totally imagine how having to care of someone other than yourself will have a massive change on your life. Particularly when its your son/daughter that you love who is practically helpless esp. at the start. I imagine it can create some really positive character virtues while also being very rewarding.

jamieakers Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 This is an awesome topic and I've really enjoyed reading other's responses! For me: going to University. I don't have children yet :) I learnt who I am, it got me the job I am in today, I met the love of my life (and now my fiancee) and I made some truly great friends to experience life with.

Max Norris Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Easy one, having my daughter. It's because of her that I've made lots of changes in my lifestyle.. quit smoking, rarely drink anymore, more active, better anger management, teaching her has made me a lot more patient.. I can confidently say it's been the best 8 years of my life so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Montage Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 My divorce and the ensuing 2 years of deliberately being single. Made me realise what I value, who I value, what I want from life. I also have become a much nicer person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted July 25, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted July 25, 2014 I think for me so far it would be moving to Switzerland in 2000. It might not have been a change that I wanted when I was first told about it, but sitting here now I can say that I probably wouldn't be the same person if I had stayed in the UK. Mostly that is for the best. Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
