When you hear self improvement, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Are you the type that's not meek, you are talkative and you are troublesome. Why live such a lifestyle when your style can add impart in other people lives through your self improvement.
I've not come to preach to you but to punch your eyes with words that will give you wings to fly like an eagle, words that will make you improve yourself. Before then what's self-improvement?
Self-help or self-improvement is a self-guided improvement, economically, intellectually, or emotionally, often with a substantial psychological basis.
Below are four important ways to improve yourselfelf
Firstly, is to make good use of the power of silence.
Silence can mean many things in interpersonal relationships. It’s ambiguous. It can express lots of different emotions ranging from joy, happiness, grief, embarrassment to anger, denial, fear, withdrawal of acceptance or love. What it means depends on the context.
Secondly, always tell the truth: This may seem obvious but can be so difficult to uphold. This means not saying something to appease the other person. This means setting your boundaries about exactly what you can do and what you really aren't the right person for.
This means doing everything you say you are going to do and not doing anything you’ve said you wouldn’t do. This means having the courage to speak the truth, even when you are the only one in the room who will do so. Now I ask; when was the last time you lied? If you make sure you’re telling the truth, you won’t ever have to worry about people listening to you.
When people don’t listen, it’s usually become the speaker’s got something else he or she is communicating besides the truth. So learn to always say the truth.
Thirdly, right wrongs: Shielding missteps with white lies always seems so easy and beneficial initially, no matter how many times we have seen the repercussions. Inevitably, though, those small breeches of trust spin into a web that we cannot escape without serious pain to ourselves and the persons we lied to. When you make a mistake; own up to it immediately. And then fix it, regardless of the cost (financial or to your reputation).
Lastly, extend trust: Extending your trust first proves you value integrity and trust and therefore you are trustworthy.
Whenever you have a creeping feeling in your gut that you don't trust yourself or that someone else doesn't trust you, look at the last three things that you did and ask yourself:
1: Am I taking the time every day to explore my creative self?
2: Am I listening before I speak?
3: Am I telling the truth to myself and others?
4: Am I making my mistakes right?
5: Am I extending trust even when others aren't?
Abide to these four ways and you'll be positively improved.
