April 2011
As I talk with friends, family, business partners I am finding that everyone out there is always in the midst of seeking some way to improve themselves or their situation. Just look at your Facebook News Feed you will see your friends celebrating weight loss, taking college classes to better their education, trying to find new ways to bring in income, etc. It is everywhere! We are all trying to become more spiritually, physically, emotionally, or financially fit, aren’t we?
So as things tend to do, it got my wheels turning and I began thumbing through lots of papers that I have vigorously written notes on I came across a training I attended through my quest for self betterment. I thought might help all of us to start any self improvement journey. And that is just the thing… all improvement starts with the relationship we have with ourselves.
Tips to Improve how you get along with yourself:
1. Self-awareness… You must know who you are. Know what your convictions are, what is important to you.
2. Know that if you are not comfy with yourself you cannot be comfy with anyone else or anything else.
3. Be self-honest… You have to be yourself in your own way. Don’t try to pretend you are someone else. You have wonderful gifts to offer individuals and your world. Do not short change yourself by being dishonest about who you are.
4. Self-improvement… The first person you can and must change is YOU.
5. Self-Responsibility… Stop the blame game and take ownership of your life and your choices. You cannot be responsible with your affairs if you cannot be responsible with yourself.
Questions to ask to ask yourself during your process:
Which habits are doing me more harm than good that could hold me back from a good relationship with myself and others?
What do I expect the future to hold for me?
How has the past colored my perspective of myself? Of others?
What are my strengths?
What are my weaknesses?
What area do I need to grow the most in?
What kind of people am I attracting and surrounding myself with? You are the product of the environment you chose.
And remember this… You get what you expect, so even if you succeed in achieving your goal, if you think negatively of yourself eventually it will bring you down. For example you may lose 50 lbs, but if you still have a negative self image you will gain every pound back.
Here is to you and whatever your goals are! Make it a beautiful day!
