Read More »It’s normal to feel like you could be doing more when it comes to self-improvement. But being a better person doesn’t involve being overly hard on yourself. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. The more self-kindness and self-compassion you can foster, the more equipped you’ll be to treat those around you the same way. Plus, doing good for others can give your life a deeper sense of meaning. It may even help to improve your physical and mental health. Here’s a look at some ways to build self-improvement into your daily routine and let go of negative thoughts about yourself. 1. Cultivate gratitude You’ve probably heard it a million times, but keeping a gratitude journal of what you’re thankful for can have a big effect on your mindset. Research has shown that incorporating gratitude into your daily life can help ward off stress, improve sleep, and cultivate more positive social relationships. Anna Hennings, MA, a mental performance coach in sport psychology, recommends using the acronym GIFT to help you identify what you’re grateful for. gift technique When thinking about things you’re grateful for, look for instances of: G rowth: personal growth, like learning a new skill rowth: personal growth, like learning a new skill I nspiration: moments or things that inspired you nspiration: moments or things that inspired you F riends/family: people who enrich your life riends/family: people who enrich your life T ranquility: the small, in-between moments, such as enjoying a cup of coffee or a good book ranquility: the small, in-between moments, such as enjoying a cup of coffee or a good book Surprise: the unexpected or a nice favor When listing things you’re grateful for, notes Hennings, make sure to also note why that thing makes you grateful. 2. Greet everyone you meet Whether you nod or smile to strangers passing by or say “good morning” to everyone who enters the office, make an effort to acknowledge those around you when you see them, says psychologist Madeleine Mason Roantree. In doing so, you’ll notice might find yourself feeling more present and connected to those around you, even if you don’t have a close relationship with them. 3. Try a digital detox Unplugging for even a small amount of time can be beneficial to your well-being. The next time you find yourself with nothing to do, step away from your phone for a few hours. Instead, try going for a walk and connecting with your thoughts. Step away from your phone either for a few hours or even take the entire day off of devices. Instead, try getting outside and connecting with nature, or meeting up with friends IRL. Remember: Even a short break from your phone can help you unwind and focus on what brings you joy. 4. Use positive self-talk It’s easy to get caught up in being overly harsh and critical of your perceived failings. This negative, unproductive self-talk can lower our overall motivation, explains Hennings. If you’re constantly telling yourself you aren’t a good person, for example, it’s hard to find motivation to take steps toward self-improvement. Practice positive self-talk by stating a fact and following up with some optimism. facts + optimism = positivity The next time you find yourself feeling incompetent or overwhelmed, try telling yourself: “I know this change is going to be challenging, but I’ve put a lot of meaningful thought into it and have considered all the options open to me [fact], so I feel confident I am doing the best I can in this moment [optimism].” The hard part is catching yourself in the act of negative thinking and intentionally deciding to think differently. But with a bit of practice, this will get easier. 5. Practice random acts of kindness Being kind to others can help give you a sense of purpose and make you feel less isolated. Try doing something nice for someone at random: Pay a compliment to a stranger.

Instead of taking things personally and being self-critical, Jackson recommends offering empathy and understanding to the other person, as well as ourselves. Think of all the ways you make a positive impact to those around you and try writing them down each day. Again, these don’t have to be grand gestures. Maybe you held the door open for someone carrying some heavy bags. Or started brewing a fresh pot of coffee at work when you noticed it was getting low. If you find you’re still struggling to change your frame of mind, Jackson advises to think of it this way: “Tomorrow is a new day, so if you beat yourself up today about something, let yourself off the hook and start fresh tomorrow.” be your own best friend Try to treat yourself the same way you would a loved one. Would you constantly talk down to your best friend if they had an “off” day and dropped the ball on something? Hopefully not. And you shouldn’t talk to yourself that way, either.
