1. Recognize Your Worth

First things first—you need to know your worth. It sounds cliché, but it’s true. When you don’t recognize your own value, you’re more likely to accept less than you deserve. Take some time to reflect on your strengths, achievements, and what you bring to the table. Once you start to acknowledge your worth, everything that does not hold value to you, you will be able to dismiss them.

Pro Tip: Your worth is truly what drives your self love and self identity.

2. Set Clear Goals

One of the main reasons people settle for the bare minimum is because they don’t have clear goals. When you don’t know what you want, it’s easy to accept whatever comes your way. Setting clear, achievable goals gives you direction and motivation to go after more.

Think About It: Where do you see yourself in five years? What do you want to achieve? Write it down. Break it into smaller steps. And don’t be afraid to dream big!

Pro Tip: Use SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) to make your goals more actionable. This will help you stay on track and measure your progress.

3. Stop Making Excuses

It’s easy to fall into the trap of making excuses for why things aren’t better. “I don’t have time,” “I’m too tired,” “It’s not the right moment.” Sound familiar? The truth is, there’s never a perfect time to make changes. You just have to start. One of the most damaging aspect to success, is having a valid excuse to avoid the path of success. In this phase of your plan, you really need to only have one valid point – tired of the bare minimum, therefore, do everything you must do overcome excuses.

Pro Tip: Excuses and success tend to never cross paths, because both they have different and opposite characteristics.

4. Surround Yourself with Supportive People

Who you surround yourself with matters. If you’re constantly around people who settle for less, it’s easy to fall into the same pattern. Surround yourself with people who inspire you, challenge you, and support your growth. Your support surrounding environment, its truly going to be your powerhouse, as they have a major influence on you.

Pro Tip: Seek out mentors, join communities, and connect with people who are where you want to be. Their energy and drive will motivate you to aim higher.

5. Raise Your Standards

If you’re tired of the bare minimum, it’s time to raise your standards. This means expecting more from yourself and others. Don’t be afraid to set the bar higher, whether it’s in your relationships, work, or personal life.

Example: If you’re in a relationship where you’re constantly doing all the work, it’s time to raise your standards. Communicate your needs, and if they’re not met, don’t be afraid to walk away. You deserve a partner who values and supports you.

6. Embrace Change

Change can be scary, but it’s often necessary if you want more from life. Whether it’s changing your job, ending a toxic relationship, or moving to a new city, embracing change can open up new opportunities and lead to greater fulfillment. Change is hard, change is painful, change can truly lead to failure – but the most important aspect, is that CHANGE CAN BRING SUCCESS

Pro Tip: Start with small changes and build up to bigger ones. The more you embrace change, the easier it becomes to take risks and step out of your comfort zone.

7. Don’t Settle for Mediocrity

Settling for mediocrity is a surefire way to get stuck with the bare minimum. Whether it’s in your career, relationships, or personal growth, aim for excellence. Push yourself to go above and beyond, and don’t be afraid to expect the same from others. You are already putting effort, you might as well go full force, and the first step is to radically change your mind.

Think About It: Are you doing just enough to get by? If so, challenge yourself to do more. Take on new projects, learn new skills, and strive to be the best version of yourself.

8. Practice Self-Care

When you’re tired of the bare minimum, it’s easy to neglect self-care. But taking care of yourself is crucial if you want to break free from settling. Make time for activities that nourish your body, mind, and soul. Self care can mean different things, from body self care, mental self care or even just isolating yourself.

Pro Tip: Self-care doesn’t have to be elaborate. It can be as simple as taking a walk, reading a book, or enjoying a quiet moment with a cup of tea.

9. Communicate Your Needs

If you want more from life, you have to communicate your needs. Whether it’s in your relationships, work, or personal life, being clear about what you want is key to getting it.

Example: Speak your mind, but to get what you want, you must know the art of communication, plan what to say, and be very well researched about your topic.

10. Reflect Your Progress

During the process of your progress, it is best to check your current progress and evaluate what you need to improve on, change a strategy, seek assistance or best, decide to abandon that goal and replace with a new one. Regardless, it is important to evaluate your where you currently stand. In addition, it is a great idea to celebrate your wins along the way – this is a great motivator. Look back on your strategy on how you are achieving your goals and adjust accordingly.

Pro Tip: Keep a journal of your wins. When you’re feeling down or stuck, look back at what you’ve achieved and let it fuel your drive to keep pushing forward.

Conclusion

You deserve more than the bare minimum. Whether it’s in your relationships, career, or personal life, don’t be afraid to demand more and accept less. It’s not about being difficult or unreasonable; it’s about knowing your worth and refusing to settle for anything less than you deserve. So take these tips, apply them to your life, and start living the life you truly want.
