People taking the
‘self-betterment’ journey are constantly looking for ways to improve
themselves. It is a continuous adventure
wherein the person needs to fully embrace the changes and be honest, especially
with himself. We are all destined to commit
mistakes as we progress deeper into this journey. These mistakes should never discourage you;
instead, you should look at them as an opportunity to learn and improve
yourself. In my case, when I was
thinking of ways on how to improve
myself, here are some of the things that I learned.
Having a Positive Attitude
Having a positive
outlook in life means that you are choosing happiness. In this journey, you have to stay optimistic
at all times. It means that you will not
look at your failures negatively, and your motivation will remain high. You will commit a lot of wrong decisions in
life, but those who succeeded in life can push forward regardless of the
circumstances. Being positive is one of
my effective ways on how to improve
myself. Also, try to surround yourself with positive people.
Motivate Yourself
There are
different ways to motivate yourself; one of the most effective methods is writing
down your ultimate goal in life and the rewards you will enjoy once you reach
that goal. Whenever you feel discouraged
or think that your motivation is wavering, simply look at your goal and you
will instantly be reminded why you decided to stick with your plan. When motivating yourself, you should remain
gentle and stop criticizing yourself. It
is one thing that I learned on how to
improve myself. Being gentle with
yourself is not easy. You will always
think that you failed yourself when you committed a mistake. Remind yourself that this is not a race, and
you will eventually get to the podium as long as you continue investing the
right amount of effort.
Acknowledge a Great Job
When I was starting
to look for ways on how to improve
myself, I forgot one of the essential things about it. I am too busy improving my craft that I have already
failed to acknowledge myself for a job well done. Rewarding myself with small things helped me stay
motivated and boosted my morale. I also
realized that I am reaching my goal much faster compared before.
Eliminate Fear
One of the worst enemies
that I had to face when learning how to
improve myself is fear. I am scared
about failures and committing mistakes, so I always decided to stay on the safe
side and not take a risk. However, I
realized that my fear of committing mistakes prevents me from showcasing my
talent and pulls me down. By looking at
the things that I fear the most, I was able to find the things that I had to
improve.
These are some of
the ways on how to improve myself. Hope you were able to learn a thing or two
about my experience and apply it on your journey of self-improvement. Stop
comparing yourself to the journey of others. You have your battle to fight. If
you keep looking at the other lane, you will only get distracted from your
goal.
