Ways to Make The Self-Improvement Changes You Want
http://www.wiggmanscoaching.com/self- improvement- changes/                   March 25, 2013




Starting today is the best time to becoming a better
person than you were yesterday. It’s never too late to
reflect and realize that you need to make personal
changes to get the most out of life.

Your daily routine has become numbing, and now it is
time to zest up your life and feel happier with the
accomplishments that you have made.

Here are a few ideas that will help you discover new
ways of feeling great about yourself and make changes
for the better.

Selflessness

A great way to achieve better personal development is to practice selflessness.
You will really start to notice a lot about yourself when you stop doing things for
yourself and start doing things for others.

Sacrificing your own wants and needs for the benefit of others is a great way to
realize the kind of person we are meant to be.

Volunteer at a local place that services the needs of the community. By
volunteering to help those less fortunate, you have the opportunity to develop
your own gratitude.

You may also find yourself inspired to find other means to reach out and help
others. Service work is a great way to charge your self-improvement program.

Selflessness does not come at the expense of your happiness but as an addition
to it by sharing your strengths and talents with others.

Yoga

Taking a yoga class can be a terrific way to boost your self-improvement. This
ancient exercise includes strengthening, stretching, and cardiovascular training to
make it an all-around great workout physically and spiritually.

Additionally, you will gain mental clarity and focus while practicing yoga.
In all the time I was at lululemon I never fully committed to Yoga but can say it
made a profound difference in the people around me who did.

If you have never given Yoga a try I would recommend it. If you don’t like the first
style keep trying until you find one you love.

Try Yoga today.

Who You Are

Gaining insight into who you are is extremely important. By knowing exactly who
you are, your likes and dislikes, and what you truly believe in will take you far in
terms of self-improvement.

You will be able to express more confidence and not stand for things that you
know are wrong for your life.

Always act with integrity. If you want people to follow and trust you, you must be
a person with good core values.

If you do something to ruin your integrity, you will lose your following. Therefore,
you should aim to preserve your integrity in any way possible.

This is what personal development is all about. Clarifying who you are and with
that clarity comes the power to create your life.

I Can’t

Learn how to beat the “I can’t” inside of you. The only certainty when it comes to
obstacles is that you will need to react to them.

It’s how you react that will make or break your personal development journey.
Take the words, “I can’t,” out of your vocabulary and really focus on the challenge
at hand.

It’s how you handle the next step that shapes you as a person.

Goals

In order to improve along your path of self-improvement it is important for you to
clearly define your goals. Define what you want the purpose of your life to be and
then consider the goals that you must achieve in order to bring that purpose into
your life.

Write these goals down and look at them daily to remind yourself the direction
that you need to be heading.

Never, ever give up. Personal development is an ongoing process that takes a
lifetime, and the main variable is the point that you are at right this moment. When
life throws you a curve ball, catch it and move on.

Don’t ever quit, and you will always be moving forward.

Don’t Fear Mistakes

It is important to overcome the fear of making mistakes. Everyone makes
mistakes; it is a part of life. If you can get this kind of thinking through your mind,
you can learn how to grow as a person.

Learn from your past mistakes. The people who learn from their mistakes are
more likely to go further in life and be happy doing it.

Think of mistakes as just that, mistakes. Next, get on with your life and don’t
make those mistakes again!

These helpful suggestions are just a few of many of the small changes that I hope
will help improve your life.

Take Action Request:

Take just one idea from today’s post and try it out. Maybe it is Yoga,
volunteering or goal setting. Just take action.

Your Life Your Choice Your Design
