5 Starter Steps to Self-Improvement

Let’s start by acknowledging that we’re fantastic just the way we are! Everything you’ve done and everything you are makes you you, which is a pretty terrific individual!

That said, we have to be honest with ourselves and say that there are things we’d like to see change.

Maybe it’s how you deal with challenges or what you do when confronted with a disrespectful colleague.

These little habits or tendencies may not only be frustrating, but they could also be standing in the way of you getting an awesome promotion. So, why let them?

Below are five starter steps to self-improvement and feeling phenomenal about yourself.

Take a look.

1. Get to Know You

We take for granted that we know what we want. But unfortunately, no one teaches us how to determine our likes and dislikes, hopes and dreams. And it can take years until we actually know who we are.

One of the most important steps of self-improvement is understanding yourself.

So, get curious about what makes you who you are. Once you become familiar with all the layers, you can start making the changes you need to improve.

Look at yourself objectively and ask yourself these questions:

• What’s my biggest motivator?
• What do I enjoy doing?
• Who are my biggest supporters?
• What are my core values?
• What do I worry about?
• What are my strengths and weaknesses?

2. Sleep Well

If you’re a night owl or just like partying, then you have to put your obligations first. It’s okay to go out with friends and enjoy a night out once a month.

Yet, it’s a whole different ball game when you spend every night watching mindless hours of TV or scrolling through social media.

That’s ruining your cognitive abilities, as well as your physical health. Plus, it’s wasting tons of hours when you could have been doing something else.

According to the Sleep Foundation, the average adult needs between 7–9 hours of sleep each night. Getting that quality sleep will help you wake up fresh, energized, and ready to embark on a new day.

Besides keeping you focused and alert, good sleep boosts your immune system, reduces stress, and helps you maintain your weight.

In addition, sleep can lower the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and Type-2 diabetes.

3. Work Out

Your physical well-being has a direct impact on your mental and emotional state. Therefore, being healthy is important to living a high-quality lifestyle and not fearing what needs to be changed or improved.

More importantly, through regular exercise and eating healthy foods, you fuel your body and mind. So, you stop aching all over and start feeling energized.

You can go up a flight of stairs without feeling like your heart is about to pop out of your chest. Walking becomes your new mode of transportation, and your clothes look better than ever on you.

Combined, these things factor in on how you feel about yourself. When you look good, your self-esteem gets a nice boost. You become more confident to try new things or meet new people.

4. Stay Curious

Make a habit of learning something new each day for the rest of your life. Being exposed to new ways of thinking and doing has the power of changing the quality of your thoughts.

You get to see things from a different perspective, which gives you insight into new information. As a result, you can start changing how you live for the better.

Being curious doesn’t always have to be for young, eager children. You can do the same thing at any age to help you stay alert and active.

After all, if we’re not learning and growing, then we’re dying. Check out some ways to keep learning at any age:

• Read 1–2 books each week
• Take an online course
• Sign up for a class at your local community center
• Do something that scares you once a month

5. Celebrate Your Successes

No one knows about celebrating successes perhaps better than Nelson Mandela. He said, “Remember to celebrate milestones as you prepare for the road ahead.”

Make a habit of recognizing your hard work and accomplishments and the sacrifices you made to get there. Be proud of your progress and how you feel about everything you’ve learned in the process.

When you look back and know what you’re capable of achieving, you get a fresh insight into what needs to be tweaked for the next challenge.

Then, you can make changes where needed to keep moving forward and improving day by day!
