This is how most people live: they force themselves to wake up in the morning, get dressed, go to work, return home at about 8 o'clock, watch TV and go to bed, only to repeat the same procedure the next day, almost their entire life. We consider this life to be normal, but if you stop and think about it, you will realize that this is not normal at all.
Life is so precious and beautiful, and instead of making the most of it, we chose to spend it just because we were programmed to live that way. The habits, traditions and beliefs of the systems have turned us into brainless automatons who do not enjoy life and simply follow a given trajectory programmed by society. This program, however, can be disrupted if we realize that the way we live is getting in the way of enjoying life and gathering the courage to change the way we think and how we act. Then life can be turned into a beautiful holiday filled with laughter, play, and love.
Here are 10 tips to help you reprogram yourself and protect yourself from re-entering the matrix you were already in on the day you were born:
1. Stop letting the authorities control you
From a very early age, most of us were taught to doubt ourselves and do only what the authorities command us, even if we did not feel it. Now, as adults, we don't trust ourselves and therefore we allow others to have power over our lives.
We vote for politicians who lie to us in order to satisfy their inner hunger, under the illusion that by voting we get the opportunity to choose our future, when in reality we have very limited choice. Therefore, we allow a small group of people to manipulate us for their own selfish ends, naively believing that they want to contribute to the betterment of society.
If we really want to start creating positive change in the world, we must stop giving free rein to the authorities and making them responsible for our lives. Instead, we must begin to take responsibility in our own hands and become creators of our own destiny.

2. Free yourself from the shackles of religion
Dogmatic, organized religion imposes on people what they can think and what not, what is good and what is bad, what is right and what is wrong. Thus, religion prevents people from using their critical thinking, seeking the truth, and drawing their own conclusions. On the contrary, religion teaches to blindly follow a code of morality and rules. Result? Emotional suppression and suffering.
If you want to reclaim your individuality, express yourself and walk the path of mutual understanding, break the chains of organized religion and start your own search for truth from scratch.
3. Think about the current economic system
Money is essentially created from debt, thus creating the illusion of a scarcity of resources that forces people to compete in the marketplace, forcing them to spend most of their lives working as wage slaves. This inevitably leads to immense suffering and social conflict that reigns throughout the world. In addition, our economic system requires people to constantly consume, persuading us to buy things that we do not need and which will end up in a landfill, thereby poisoning the environment on which our health and life depend.
If you do not like this kind of life and want to create positive changes in your life and in the world, do research on the extremely negative impact of our economy, and look for an alternative, more technically efficient and environmentally sustainable economic system.
4. Separate yourself from materialism
Raised in a culture of consumption, we believe that money can buy everything we need and this will bring happiness to our lives. So we endlessly buy more and more things, but end up feeling dissatisfied and craving for more. The truth is that money can only provide us with a replacement for what we really need.
We need neither material things nor services, we need things like love, friendship and creativity. So don't worry about the next best thing you can buy, and instead invest your time and effort in mind-expanding experiences that money can't buy.
5. Be mindful of what you eat
Is what you eat contributes to your health or is it poisoning your body? Is what you eat environmentally sustainable, or does it negatively affect the world around you? Here are some important questions that all people should ask themselves. Most people choose to eat foods that are filled with sugar, preservatives, and are essentially empty, unaware that their food choices are bad for their health and have a negative impact on the environment.
From now on, choose carefully what you choose to put in your mouth, this is one of the best things you can do for yourself and the world.
6. Choose your news sources wisely
Knowledge is power, but we are drowning in an ocean of information. The corporate media feeds us biased information all the time in order to make us believe lies and manipulate us the way they want. A true seeker of knowledge does not take anything for granted, but looks for facts and tries to develop a spherical understanding of the subject.
If you don't like being misled and want to better understand what's going on in the world, do your best to gather information from as many sources as possible and use critical thinking to draw your own conclusions about true or not.
7. Read instructive books
There were many wise people in the world who have already written down their thoughts on the topic of life's problems and how they can be overcome. There have been many people who criticize the activities of the community and offer their ideas on how we can help create a more beautiful world. Books can be very helpful in opening our eyes and improving our quality of life, but not many people spend most of their time reading books or simply choosing to read only entertainment literature.
To get the most out of your book reading, choose not just any fun book to read at your leisure, but books that will touch your mind and heart and provide you with new perspectives that will help you better understand yourself and the world around you.
8. Avoid gregariousness
Like everyone, you are a unique person with unique talents. Unfortunately, society has suppressed our individuality from the day we are born. We have been programmed to doubt ourselves and live up to what is considered normal. This, however, does not prevent us from accepting ourselves and creating our own path in a life that causes us tremendous emotional pain.
Starting today, start to distance yourself from herd feelings and pay attention to your inner voice - this will allow you to follow your calling and live the way you really want to live.
9. Express yourself creatively
A great way to deprogram yourself from modern life is to focus on your creativity. We are all born creative, but gradually our creativity was suppressed so much that we almost forgot that we are creative beings. Being creative means thinking outside the box and looking at life from different perspectives.
Being creative means finding new ways of living and realizing that you have the power to understand the kind of life you want for yourself.
10. Develop mindfulness
Finally, learning to live in the moment is the most important way to break free of your conditioning. Living according to the principle “here and now” will allow you to react to everything that happens every moment spontaneously, and not be a victim of your past.
There are many meditation techniques that can help you become more mindful to find the ones you like best and stick to them until you see positive results in your life.
