The 7 Most Practical Self-Improvement Strategies What would you do for a better you? Go back to school? Change your lifestyle? Eat more kale? Such drastic measures are rarely necessary. What’s more, huge personal overhauls are mentally and physically taxing and difficult to maintain. The debris of broken New Year’s resolutions are enough proof of that. Fortunately, you don’t have to make big changes to see huge results. Check out these small and practical self-improvement strategies that can have a dramatic impact on your life. Wake up Early What’s the key to a productive day? Ask any successful person, and there’s a good chance they’ll tell you it’s getting up early. Rising with purpose before 6:00 a.m. may cultivate success and make you more proactive. Checking a few things off your list early can help you feel more accomplished, which can give you a much-needed boost to tackle the rest of your day. Exercise More Regular exercise can make you feel happier, increase your confidence, relieve stress and give you more energy, says Self. Additionally, moderate exercise can help you sleep better and may even help you ward off sickness. And it doesn’t take a lot of activity to reap all these rewards. The Mayo Clinic recommends a goal of 30 minutes of moderate exercise per day. Ask for Feedback Want to know how you’re doing? Ask for feedback. Honest critique may help you see areas where you can do better. It might even help you uncover flaws that you’re not aware of. Cultivate Positive Habits Cultivate positive habits, such as taking the stairs, drinking more water and volunteering. Although it can take an average of about two months for a habit to become automatic, each step you take can get you one step closer to the life you’ve always wanted. Avoid Negativity Being around negative energy and stress can have a detrimental effect on your health and your morale, according to Forbes. It may even lower your immune response, making it easier for you to get sick and harder for you to get well after contracting an illness. For this reason, you should strive to avoid negative people. If you want a happy, positive life, you must surround yourself with positivity. Watch Less TV On average, Americans watch nearly 3 hours of TV each day. In fact, watching TV accounts for more than half of most Americans’ leisure time. If you could take back just some of the time you spend watching TV, imagine what you could do with it. You could learn a new language or find time to work on a new hobby. Read Daily Take some time to read each day. According to Reader's Digest, reading stimulates your brain, relieves stress, improves your vocabulary and improves your memory. You’re also more likely to be empathetic if you read. Don’t have time? Take at least 5 minutes per day to read a self-help article or short story. It doesn’t take a lot of effort to enact change in your life. A small tweak here and there is all you need to be the best version of you and live your best life. Don’t know where to start? Try something small. Exercise while you’re watching television, read something meaningful instead of scrolling through social media or make it a point to take the stairs whenever possible. Each small step you take will bring you that much closer to the person you want to be. ~Here’s to Your Success! Copyright 2019, Power In Email.
