How To Do Self-Improvement
(Since no-one ever explains it)

So many people know about the concept of self-improvement and personal development but no-one actually says how to actually do it or how to be on self-improvement, they just always get straight to it which kinda leaves you feeling like you skipped a couple of steps.

In this article I'm going to share with you what I wish someone told me when I first discovered self-improvement around 5 years ago,

I'm going to clear up some common misconceptions and explain what self-improvement actually involves, no fluff, no nothing.

My Journey (damn that sounds cringe)

So ever since I was young I've always had a hunger to learn and get better, at literally anything, even if it's something random, I'd do it and I'd find ways to do it better, it appealed to me.

I'd be extremely bored if I wasn't doing or learning anything,

And eventually it got to a point where school was getting more serious, topics like jobs, money and studying for a degree were starting to take over my life and I kinda lost that childhood curiosity.

Turns out I never actually lost it, it was always there, it was just buried under all of the other things,

Then one fine day I was watching YouTube as you do, and there were a couple of videos on my homepage with the title something like 'why you should be on self-improvement' and I believe the thumbnail was a couple of some best-selling books, it intrigued me so I watched the video and it felt like I just dug up my childhood desire for progress again.

And ever since that day I've 'been on self-improvement' you can say.

What Is Self-Improvement?

It goes by a lot of names; self-improvement, personal development, self-help.

(I use them interchangeably)

I wrote an article about this, this is the link to check it out if you want : 

What Is Self-Improvement (and why it will help you)

But summed up really quickly, self-improvement is just what the name states,

You putting extra effort and intent into improving you, your life, your skills, everything you touch.

Now I've seen the posts online dissing self-improvement and calling it cringe or boring or being a loner.

I'm here to tell you that's not true,

You can be on self-improvement without being a geek🤓at the same time.

Just ask yourself this question;

Do you want to learn? Do you want to improve socially, physically, mentally? Do you want to become more intelligent?

Yes? Well, that's what personal development does for you.

It's not some weirdo practice that 'If I get 100% on my habit tracked I'll start levitating🥴'

(Pssst, I did, and I still walk like everyone else)

It's not that, it's just the fact that you're taking your life more seriously, you don't like wasting time anymore, you want to be more productive, you want to be a better person for your family, to get more respect from others and more attraction from the opposite gender.

It's not cringe to learn.

Just Improve Bro

In the end it all comes down to this simple question;

How do I improve?

That word : Improve

That's all you should care about.

There's a quote which I love, it goes;

And that's basically what self-improvement is, that's the answer to the question of how to do self-improvement.

Just. Get. Better, every single day.

So How Do You 'Be On' Self-Improvement?

It's quite simple (not easy) but simple.

I speak about it in this article, I explain ;

The What, The Why & The How To Get What You Want In Life

The reason I say it is simple is because it is, you just find something you want to be better at, understand why you want to be better are it and figure out what actions you can take to improve, that's all there is to it, it's not as complicated as people make it out to be.

It's not easy though because at the start everything will feel like it's working against you, you don't seem to have any time, you don't want to because that YouTube or Netflix series is calling your name, you're tired after school or work and it's just hard to do something new, something different.

Understand that the first step is always the hardest, but also the most rewarding.

Gather up all of the discipline that you can, muster up the courage and pick up a book...

Sounds kinda anticlimactic I know, but it is what it is,

Books are the single greatest way to learn, you're speaking with masters, you're absorbing what they learned throughout their career, you're speaking with dead people that left their methods or wisdom on paper, you just have to open up the page.

These are the 5 Best Books I've Read On Self-Improvement

I can confidently attribute a lot of what I know to these 5 books, they have made a monumental difference in the way I live my life, how I change habits, how I push myself, how I interact and speak to women and so on. These are books I still revisit to this day (even if I read them years ago) because I can never get enough of them.

BONUS : Everyone's On Self-Improvement, Even If They Don't Think They Are

Yes, I do mean that title, what I mean by that is that we are all living our own lives, and as we go through life we learn naturally, so you could kinda call it self-improvement (but in a slow way). We are different because we take that aspect of life and try to fast-forward it.

Most people never learn unless the life lesson is literally force fed to them, on the contrary we actively LOOK for the life lesson in all that happens, so our trajectory for progress will be much higher than the average person.

Summary : How To Be On Self-Improvement

• Personal development goes by many names, just call it what you wish to
• It's not some woohoo practice for weirdos or nerds
• Self-Improvement is simply just taking your life more seriously and wanting to make it better
• I know it can seem wishy-washy at first but that feeling will go away
• Find some things you want to improve, maybe some skills or some character traits you want to adopt and learn about them.
