ARE THEY REALLY NOTHING?

  GOAL SETTING A college loving kid proving that he is not Nothing /Photo Courtesy /Tara Winstead Nothing? There comes a time in life when a kid has to grow up. And start making decisions. Life changing decisions for that matter. Decisions such as, going to college. And preparing for life’s biggest responsibilities. During this critical time. Parents are usually on the edge of their seats. They are on the edge because they are afraid of hearing some things. Kids have graduated high school and some have received invitations to some of the best colleges in the country. Parents in most occasions, want to keep the college conversation going. They want to talk about their kids’ college choices with their friends and neighbors. College conversation is a good conversation. Because most parents think that going to college is a window of opportunities. And to some extent it is, especially for those students who want to go to college. Kids that have already visualized the kind of professio...

MY THOUGHTS ABOUT SELF-IMPROVEMENT

 

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

In summary, I can sum up self-improvement as a personal journey. If, someone asked me what I would say about self-improvement. That is exactly what I would say, a personal journey. A journey where you put in your own efforts to get better. It is your efforts, your decisions, and your commitments. And the things that you would like to see change in your life. Self-improvement has a lot of benefits. It is not just about you changing something. It is also about you impacting different areas of your life. That one decision that you make to focus on yourself. Can change your life in the most profound ways. These are just some of the few benefits that you get, when you embark on a self-improvement excursion.


1.     Your strength gets renewed

2.     Your mental health gets better

3.     Your relationships improve


Strength Getting Renewed

Self-improvement as a personalized quest focuses on you. It aims to make you better. By introducing new practices and habits in your life. And this means that you spend more time thinking about it. You take your time and think about it. Self-improvement does not just happen. You do not just wish to improve something in your life and get it. You work for your self-improvement. When you identify something that you don’t like in your life. You spend time thinking about it and how you wish to turn it around. The mere fact that we are different people. Means that our self-improvement journeys look different. The things that affect each individual person are different. You are also different. And the methods that you will implement in your self-improvement will also be different.

Based on this fact, you have no business comparing yourself to others. If, you must tap into your inner strength. You must learn to learn to focus. Focus on yourself and your self-improvement mission. It is through this focus that you will receive a renewal. Your strengths will be renewed once you learn to focus and prioritize your self-improvement needs. It is about you. Forget about other people. Whatever you are going through in your life, is not necessarily what someone else is facing. So do not waste your energy comparing. Instead, tap on the courage you have mustered and look forward. Focus on that area you would like to improve. Work hard to improve that area. Make your self-improvement journey harmonized. Once you have identified an area. And perhaps, found a professional to help you with the journey. Pay attention to the things that your trainer, doctor, therapist, or coach is advising you to implement. That is how you get your strength renewed. By listening and doing it.  

Your Mental Heal Gets Better

Getting your mental health in the best space is the highlight of self-improvement. Being in a position to calm your nerves down. Control racing thoughts. And lowering your anxiety and fears are some of the reasons you should prioritize self-improvement. It is not always easy to arrive at this spot in your mind. However, you need to determine what matters. You should not accept defeat. Don’t watch your life waste away. If, there is something that can be done in your situation. You need to find courage to do it. You will feel much better once you make a difficult decision. A decision concerning an area in your life that you don’t like. Making this decision alone, adds a lot of positive joules of energy to your mind. And in order to win in any battle. You need the support of your mind. Your body and mind should agree.

Any self-improvement journey you embark on, does not just improve the body. The journey impacts your mental health too. And there is nothing good as, living and functioning with a calm mind. You will experience bliss once you are in this state of mind. The state of calmness in your mind. Makes you ten times more productive. Once you attain peace in your mind.  Nothing will shake you. Including chaos taking place around you. You will not trouble by those commotions. You will still have a good day in the chaos. You will enjoy life. You will perform better at work. You will be positive round the clock. That is why having a calm mind is the biggest obstacle for most people. A lot of things happen in life. And these things affect people in the most adverse ways. You need to recognize that and protect your mental health.

So what I would tell you right now is, go for self-improvement. Approve it. Get in the gym if, you have some weight to lose. Do not postpone the process. If, the issue of weight has been on your mind lately. Make the decision to handle it. Start doing the activities that will help you lose weight. Remember, self-improvement is a personal journey. This means that you are the sole decision maker. You decide whether you want to improve or not. This is not an easy decision. You need courage. You need careful thinking. Because the journey will disrupt your routine. You will be forced to make adjustments. And those adjustments will result in discomforts. You will be required to put in an effort to achieve the changes you desire. Think about all these things, and make the best decision. Choose self-improvement. Your mind will thank you once you improve. Do not postpone anymore.

Relationships Improve

Self-improvement leads to healing in relationships. When you embark on a self-improvement journey. You don’t just do it for yourself. You do it for people you are in relationships with. And embracing a self-improvement quest that makes you better also repairs strained relationships. When people see your commitment to becoming better. The efforts you put in and the struggles you go through. They learn to appreciate your decision. You gain new respect for facing your challenge. You become an inspiration. They learn from you. The inspiration that comes with facing your biggest challenge is what results in healing. People appreciate that you are trying. That you are finally doing something about it. And that means a lot to your loved ones. Those simple steps towards getting better heals a lot of things in your relationships.

Thoughts About

Given the numerous benefits that come with any self-improvement desire. I highly recommend that you challenge yourself. Challenge yourself to do something new. The things that you have been postponing. Things that you don’t want to look at.  Things that you consider complex. Things you think, you cannot turn around. Problems that you consider difficult. Try solving them. Try introducing something new in your life today. Even if, that new practice is picking dirt dropped on the floor. Proceed with your self-improvement. And you will experience all these benefits. Your life will change in the most empowering way. You will love your new you not because you lost the weight. But how your overall life will become. Your confidence will increase. Your self-esteem will be pumped up. You will start doing things that you previously could not do. Self-improvement will wipe out the challenge and you will feel good about it.

In conclusion, my thoughts about self-improvement are, self-improvement is a personal journey. You gain a lot by engaging in any self-improvement practice. Self-improvement makes you better. You benefit from a holistic change that not only improves your physique but also your psychological, and spiritual health. You will be a whole new person. Doing things in a new way. Self-improvement aims to improve you in different aspects. And it is not a difficult process as you think. Self-improvement is about the small changes. Changes you make from the micro-level. Changes such as, switching from unhealthy eating to healthy eating. When you make a decision to start eating healthy. That is a self-improvement step. It means you care about your health. And you are willing to invest in it. You no longer want to feed yourself unhealthy foods. That simple decision alone. Saves you from a lot of risks. So, whatever self-improvement desire you have in mind. Get it done. Even if, it is reading something new every day for ten minutes.
