There comes a point in our lives where we really want to develop ourselves and become the best version of ourselves. That’s amazing but then, we’ll be like…where do I begin? Well, you can start wherever you want but if you have no clue I’ll be your guide. I’ll give you a clue. I’ll tell you things that are guaranteed to make you a better you.

CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY :

I know you’re probably rolling your eyes right now and you’re like, duh but I’m serious, your friends have a huge impact on your life. People (including myself) often defend themselves by saying,”My friends do not influence my decisions,I am 100% responsible for myself.” Yes, yes I know you’re more than capable of making your own decisions but if you really want to see changes in your life, be picky of who you spend your time with. It has been scientifically proven that we eventually become like the 5 people we spend most of our time with. Yes, it’s hard to believe but it’s true. Please take a notebook and a pen and write the 5  people you spend most of your time with. Analyse their character and behaviour, if that’s what you want to become one day keep them if not leave them. I know it’s not that simple but you will thank yourself later for cutting them off.

BE SELF- AWARE :

Know yourself. Study yourself like you will graduate. I’m not talking about knowing your favourite colour or fruit. Take time to discover who you’re really are and let that be your guide of who you want to be. Put yourself in different situations, situations outside your comfort zone and see how you react. Take self- awareness quizzes online, maybe they’ll help you discover a little bit more about yourself.

SET MEANINGFUL GOALS :

Goals are the things that keep us alive. Totally kidding, oxygen is responsible for that but goals are pretty important too. Goals give you direction and a sense of control in your life. They make sure that your dreams become a reality. So ladies & gentlemen, boys & girls grab your pens and papers and write your goals down. Just think about it, “what do you really want in life?” You couldn’t possibly truly answer that question if you don’t know yourself.

Once you truly figure out what you really want. Write that down, then break it down into very small attainable steps. Your dreams are more like a ladder and the final, highest step is your destination but you can’t climb the highest step without the lower ones. Once you do all that take action. Take small actions that’ll lead you to that last step.

GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE :

Expand yourself and thrive. In order to do that you have to get out of your comfort zone. I know that it’ll probably feel uncomfortable or it might hurt to get out of your comfort zone but you gotta break some eggs to make an omelette, right?

You don’t have to get all crazy. You don’t need to fly to another continent, go sky diving or go live on Mars. I mean if that’s the way to expand your comfort zone then you go girlfriend, but if it’s not, then don’t. Getting out of your comfort zone doesn’t mean that you should go from being an extra introverted girl who has no friends and enjoys her afternoons reading to a bubbly girl who is the life and soul of every party. Take small baby steps or turtle steps. Take it easy and take it very slow. No rush, right?

LOVE YOURSELF :

Loving yourself truly and being there for yourself through it all just makes life easier. Loving yourself through out life and it’s challenges makes life worth living. It makes it feel like having a caring best friend through it all. Love yourself and treat yourself like you would treat your soulmate because at the end of the day you are your own soulmate. I can’t talk about “how to love yourself” in just a few words but can link This, & That

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF:

She believed she could, SO SHE DID!!

Have faith in yourself. Know that you can do anything that put your mind to. You should believe in yourself and believe in your dreams. Chase your dreams as you would chase someone with your 3 billion dollar bill cause your dreams might just be worth more.

Thanks for reading, hope you will take action.

Will this be a series?? I don’t know, stay tuned to find out.
