Improvement is a continuous process. No one can say that they don’t need to improve because no one can be perfect. Everyone has certain flaws in them that they consider as their habits. But that’s one of the biggest lies that a man has convinced himself to believe.
Self-reflection is key to improving yourself. There are a lot of factors that can lead to one’s improvement. Improvement is not only necessary for the concerned person but also for the people around them who are continuously enduring their bad behavior.
Are you ready to improve yourself to become a better version of yourself?
Use these strategies to make yourself a better person.
Keep in mind, you should never force yourself to improve just solely on the basis of what others think about you. You should observe yourself completely in order to make yourself a better person. The following strategies are here to help you in it:
1. Self-reflection
Make a list of good questions to ask yourself and then find solitude and ask yourself those questions. Answer these questions by full sincerity. Because if you aren’t sincere with yourself then you are doomed. Self-reflecting is one of the basic and first-hand things one needs to do to improve him/herself. The questions can be like:
- What’s my main goal?
- How am I spending my day?
- How is my behavior with others?
- What are my priorities?
- What is making me lose myself?
2. Meditation
Meditation is one of the most under rated thins when it comes to improving yourself. Majority of the younger population will make fun of it and ignore it. But believe me it is one of most important things to take a look at your inner self and make your conscience better and feed your soul.
3. Start writing
Writing your imagination and thoughts can help you a lot in knowing yourself better. You can also know that whether you are good at writing or not and if you are you can pursue a career in it.
4. Know the importance of “no”
A lot of times what happens is that we become so stubborn that a “no” becomes a motivation for us to do that particular thing. But its just wrong we should know what we should and what not.
Also knowing the importance of “no” will let you say no to things that you want to do and are doing just due to societal pressure. For instance social media breaks are good for you, learn to say no to using social media.
5. Book reading
Make book reading your habit. It will not only make you better but will also give you knowledge that you were deprived of for a long time. Books can take you to places where you never thought you could ever go. Your imagination and thoughts widen due to book reading.
6. Stop doing things that drain you
This might look like a simple thing. But believe me it isn’t. Sometimes we do things that we don’t like to do and they just drain us to the point that then we don’t want to do anything. Stop doing those things because by doing that you are also limiting yourself from the activities that you want to do.
7. Rest
It is the single most important thing to make yourself a better person. People think that pushing yourself over the limits and burning yourself out is cool and is needed to achieve your goals. But it is just a wrong notion and myth.
The most important thing to win is to give yourself time and rest. Because it is biologically proven that if you don’t rest, your brain won’t be able to produce chemicals that are needed for creative thoughts and eventually you will end up as a robot.
Final thoughts
At some stage of our lives, we come to a point where we think that what are we lacking that is limiting us to not achieve our goals.
That time comes to all of us, its not like only you are suffering from it. In those times we need to reflect upon ourselves and change our habits to improve ourselves and make a better version of ourselves to achieve our end goals.
