“It is not as much about who you used to be, as it is about who you choose to be.”
Sanhita Baruah

Life is a journey, filled with ups and downs. With each challenge, each hurdle, we are presented with an opportunity to grow as a person. To choose to be passionate about improving yourself does not mean to say that you are not good enough as you are; it merely means to have a desire to expand into the greatest possible version of ourselves .
.
Making small improvements on a regular basis are better and more effective than trying to make a lot of big changes at once. Small changes will eventually turn into habits, while trying to make a large change could lead to feelings of being overwhelmed, and ultimately failure.
.
With a growth mindset you believe that you can always continue to improve yourself. Never stop learning and educating yourself. Having a growth mindset will let you develop your abilities and intelligence with effort, learning, and persistence.
.
Examine your values and goals, and make sure you are doing what you can today to ultimately reach those goals. You will not get anywhere without setting a goal and making sure that you have a plan
.
When you think about a big goal you have or an accomplishment that you want to pursue, it is normal to consider the obstacles that you will have to face and how you will deal with these.
.
More importantly visualise what it would feel like to achieve your goals. What would it look like, who would be around, and what implications would it have for your future? If you can see yourself obtaining your goal, it will be easier to work toward that goal.
.
Practice self care, this is critical for one’s overall well-being. Stress and exhaustion from working too much have toxic effects on the body. Eat healthy food, focusing on what you eat to help you make better choices, avoid overeating, and savour your food. Not only is this good for your gut, it is also a good way to control the amount of food you eat.
.
Remember, it is important to work on your self-improvement every day, so that you are continuously becoming a better person. This is not something that you can visit once every few months. Try to focus on areas in your life that need some improvement.
.
Commit to self improvement by taking your first small step today towards a better you. There is nothing more rewarding in life than self improvement.

‘‘You are essentially who you create yourself to be, and all that occurs in your life is the result of your own making.”
