Is it easy to create a better life$%: I don't know. Maybe even thinking about how difficult or easy it is means one isn't ready to commit to making it happen. Easy is such a vague word anyhow. What I can say from personal experience, is that it is possible to dramatically improve ones life in almost any area.
Yes, big changes are difficult, but there are many easy steps in the process. Changing one's habits may take a long time, but there is always something that can be done right now, isn't there$%: Start with these - the easier and the now. There is nothing useful about feeling overwhelmed.
If you wanted to quit cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine and complaining, you wouldn't expect to do so all at once, right$%: You might work on one bad habit, and once that was resolved, start on the next. So why not just make your life better today, however you can. Start small - seeing the results will give you the motivation for the big steps.
Better Life Today
It's easy to just look at things, and easy to think about them too, right$%: So start looking for specific ways to make your life better, and think about them - particularly about the positive consequences. You won't accomplish anything immediately by doing this, but you are preparing yourself. Just thinking about change sets your mind and your motivation in motion.
