For one to improve, it is necessary to first identify the areas where one has to improve. Most people begin to
stagnate and stop growing once they are well into their career and have established themselves reasonably well. It is very important to retrospect every once in a while, think about one's past actions, identify possible mistakes or errors and learn from them. Similarly, introspecting every once in a while can help one honestly identify shortcomings in one's personality and lifestyle, and make suitable positive changes. Here are some useful tips on self improvement that can be applied by absolutely anyone.
A Weekend Out-of-town
Spending a whole week in a retreat house or resort is good for you, not only for your physical body but for your emotional well-being as well. Just choose a place that is quiet and peaceful so you can relax and contemplate on the recent events of your life. You can also take time in thinking about your successes and failures. Self improvement is best done when you are alone.
Keeping Track Using a Journal
Writing one's thoughts, feelings, emotions, problems, aspirations, hopes and dreams in a journal is not only a great way to collect one's thoughts, but also psychologically therapeutic. Though most individuals may not have the time to maintain a journal and record their day-to-day lives, it is highly recommended as a means for self-improvement. Maintaining a journal has yet another advantage; an individual can always look back and read earlier entries from their journals to understand aspects of their past and take better decisions for the future.
Setting Goals, Making Plans and Reaching Them
Once retrospection, introspection and an analysis of one's past experiences has been done, it will be considerably easier for one to get started with self-improvement. The first thing to do at this phase is to set realistic and achievable goals for oneself. Once the goals have been set, it is important to make clear and exact plans that will bring one closer to the set goals. The most important thing to do next is to stick to the plan, and not lose one's motivation. Following the set plans to the very end can help one realize tangible and clearly visible results of one's progress.
Stick with your plans and try to impose self-discipline at all times. Being positive is also helpful. Do not be discouraged right away if results are not yet visible. It takes time to be the person you want to be.
