Common conclusions
Now is the time to think about who you are. Take some time off and engage in self-understanding and realization. See this as an investment that will pay big returns in the future. Spend a few minutes by yourself without any distractions such as a phone, computer, or newspaper. Keep a paper and pencil with you and start to make a list of what you like and hate. As the days go, add to the list and see how you can improve yourself and the way you react to things, people, and events around you. Though this will not happen overnight, concerted efforts can give you better control over your actions and you're sure to love yourself more.
Saying "no" is an art by itself and an essential change that should be on your self-improvement list. That's because boundaries are essential for self-care and it is a way of telling yourself and others that you deserve and expect some respect. It is essential to maintain your self-dignity and importance in your family or friend's circle. So, cultivate this habit of saying no when something is beyond your physical and mental capabilities.
Let go of this comparison. Remember, every individual is unique, so one person's actions, achievements, and life experiences may not work for you. Instead of wasting your time in comparison, strive to identify what works best for you and move towards it. See the beauty in you and revel in your achievements. That's the best gift you can give yourself today!
Research shows that when you buy something for yourself or just have an ice-cream or chocolate to celebrate who you are, the feel-good hormones of your brain are triggered and you love yourself more. So, consider buying something for yourself, even if it's something small and inexpensive. Don't buy them because you have achieved something, rather buy them simply because you love yourself! This small gesture is sure to make you feel good about yourself, and more importantly, love yourself more today!
It's time to take care of yourself today. Make sure you set aside a few minutes every day for some physical activity and this could be something as simple as walking for a few minutes every day. Likewise, take care of your mental health. Meditation is a good way to infuse some positivity into your mind and keep stress and anxiety at bay. That said, feel free to take help whenever needed. Hire personal trainers or take professional help if you think something is bothering you physically and mentally.
Good health is the first step for positive self-improvement, and you're headed in the right direction. Make sure you have a schedule and stick to it.
