3 ways to improve yourself
To improve yourself, ask a close friend or family member what areas they think you can improve on. If you want to identify areas for self-improvement, write down your core values, such as honesty, hard work, or family. Then, set goals that are realistically achievable and measurable to work toward your values. For example, you might value a healthy lifestyle and aim to lose 20 pounds in 3 months. Once you start making changes, remind yourself of it on a daily basis, which will help make your new behavior a reality. You should also regularly ask yourself questions, such as “Did I work toward my goal today?” or “Was my attitude positive today?”, because self-coaching can help in self-improvement.
