Self - Improvement.
Hello Lovelies,
Today I want to point out some of the keys necessary for self improvement. First of all lets go into the meaning of self improvement. Self Improvement can be seen as the act of improving ones knowledge, status or character by ones own efforts. Some of the efforts you can put in to improve yourself include:
Self - love
Self - confidence
Self worth
Let's start by defining this terms
Self Love :
This can be seen in the way an individual treats his/herself. It has to do with having love for oneself. Having regards for ones own happiness or advantage. It also is the ability to embrace oneself in such a way that you have grown to accept yourself for who you are and how you are, accepting yourself the way you were born and loving it without caring what other people have to say about you. Love yourself!
Self - Worth:
This is when a person feels that he/she is a good person and deserves to be treated with respect. This is when an individual is able to know what he or she deserves and how there should be treated. Every individual should have respect for themselves. Do not look down on your self, have respect for your abilities (self esteem). Regard yourself in a way you'll want others to regard or see you. Know what you're capable of and the limits to which you can take things. Appreciate yourself!
Self - Confidence:
This can also be seen as believing in oneself , powers and abilities. An individual with self confidence is one who believes that he can do it, one who has faith and trust in his self.
Love is a beautiful thing that shouldn't start from the person sitting next to you but yourself. Love starts from you, in order to truly love the people around you, you have to truly love yourself. An individual needs to love and embrace himself for who he/she is. Don't say "I don't have a nice body so I don't think I will be appreciated", how will a person appreciate you when you're yet to appreciate and love yourself. Try to do the things you love in order to have the courage to love yourself.Fall in love with yourself and everything that defines you. Accept yourself for what and who you are, you never know why you were born that way, so endeavor to be your first love. The moment you do this it will be very difficult for the negative words of the people around you to penetrate into you and break you. Be your own person, do not force a person to love you if they aren't willing to love you. Always remember that once you have love and confidence in yourself you'll be strong enough to conquer whatever life throws your way. Self -Love helps in conquering insecurities. Love yourself and don't ever forget who loves you the most, God.
Sometimes when we look around us we see beautiful people with so much confidence on the outside that we wonder what it would be like to be this people. Sometimes this thoughts leads to jealousy because the other person has something you don't. We forget that we could actually be better than them if we try to work on ourselves and our abilities. Not every confident person is truly confident, some fake confidence to gain confidence because there at least want to try to be better. Try to kill the fear in you because fear will only stop you from achieving your desired goals. Stop making up things in your brain. Stop feeding yourself with things you do not know and stop making yourself believe in things that are faraway from the truth like; fear of being accepted - will he love me the way I am, will he stop loving me if I put on more weight? Will he think I'm beautiful, if you believe and accept yourself the way you're you won't have to worry about this questions. Believe in yourself, encourage yourself, say beautiful things to yourself and love yourself. Stop trying to destroy yourself by feeding your ego negative remarks because you're more than you actually let yourself believe you're.
In the name of certain things we tend to forget what we deserve. We try as much as possible to overlook this because we feel tied down to certain people or places. Stop giving people the opportunity to treat you without respect. Set a standard for yourself and go by it.
Some Keys To Self - Improvement
Try your best to fall in love with yourself: The moment you fall in love with yourself. You will be able to love the people in your life truly.
Step out of your comfort zone and do something you've always wanted to do but felt too insecure to do: what is it you've always wanted to do? do you have a list? Some people have a list of things there would like to try out but due the word "fear" the hold back this thoughts. Over come the fear by,
Saying something positive to yourself everyday: once you have love for yourself you'll be able to tell yourself things you've never imagined. Tell yourself I'm beautiful, I'm a strong man, I have beautiful eyes, I have a great body or any other positive comment. Allow yourself to feel beautiful.
Encourage yourself : Have you ever thought to be your own cheer leader? Don't wait for people to encourage you (just like you don't wait for someone to say something nice to you) to do what you've always wanted to do.
Do what feels good and right to you: If it feels good and right to you do it cos sometimes when you feel wrong about something God is trying to tell you it's wrong.
Try to kill the fear that always try to wear you down:
This is not always easy to do, especially when you feel that the people around you do not like you for who you are. However, you are going to have to live with yourself after this people are away from you, so regardless of whether people like you or not, it is much more. Kill the fear that tries to surface up by saying positive things to yourself, try as much as possible to be happy with yourself. Don't let knowledge of your flaws stop you from being great (that's why it's necessary to embrace your flaws, cause there make you who you are.
Remember Gods love: When ever you feel bad about your self, try as much as possible to remember that there's someone that loves you unconditionally and that person is God, so kill ill comments by declaring Gods love for you.
