6 Steps To Becoming a Better You

Loving yourself sounds like an easy task, but it can actually take hard work. We are often so kind to people around us, but don’t realize how cruel we are to ourselves. But self love is important, and the key to truly living a happier life. If you are constantly talking down about yourself, or feeling insecure everywhere you go, you will never fully enjoy any of life’s experiences.

Stop saying sorry

Do you find yourself apologizing for everything you do, even just casually amongst friends or to strangers? We are programmed to think we must be overly polite to the extent of extreme and constant self-correction. This is not good for your self image, in thinking that you are constant in a state of wrongness. Try replacing “I’m sorry,” with “thank you.” It replaces guilt with gratitude, and will eventually change your concept of yourself.

Surround yourself with positivity

If you are on a path to improving yourself, it is worth it to analyze your circle. The work of positive mental attitude starts with you, but it is important to make sure that positivity is reinforced with the family, friends or significant other you interact with regularly. If you have people around you that criticize you or are negative about themselves, it will be hard to make progress.
