7 Great Tips for Self Improvement



If you are working on your self improvement, these 7 great tips should be added to your list. These aren’t the typical tips you get. Are you ready? 


1. Reduce how much time you spend on chat programs. Chat programs result in tons of wasted time, which you can spend on better activities. Disable the auto start feature in chat programs and only launch them when you have spare time or you really need to chat.

2. Get yourself a coach. If you want to improve the fastest way to do so is to have a coach work with you to create your goals. Your coach can help to guide you; however, ultimately it is up to you to make your own decisions. 

3. Turn off the television. It is a very liberating experience to stop watching television. You’ll free up time that you can use for more constructive purposes like spending time with your good friends, getting fit or working on your business plan. There is very little that TV actually has to offer that will stimulate your brain.

4. Learn how to play chess. Chess is a great game for you to learn how to create strategies and how to sharpen your brainpower. You can have a little fun while you exercise your brain and build your analytical skills. 

5. Start a 30-day challenge. Set a goal for yourself and then allow 30 days for you to achieve it. It doesn’t matter what the challenge is. It’s more about sticking to it and achieving your goal.

6. Meditate. The use of meditation can calm you and make you more aware. It helps to focus and center you. Many who meditate before bed require less sleep. Meditation has much to offer you on your self improvement journey. 

7. Join Toastmasters – It’s time to learn the art of public speaking, which is the number one fear of many. You can learn a lot about better communication, the best way to present yourself and how to communicate with others. Toastmasters is an international organization that trains people in the art of public speaking. 


There you have it – 7 great tips that can help you with your self improvement. 7 tips you likely haven’t heard before. So what are you waiting for? Self improvement is an excellent undertaking and a great way to improve “you” for your own benefit.

How To Save Your Sanity

 I s It safe to say that l am not alone in this? Is it safe to say that it is normal to feel like this? I can already feel those piercing eyes of yours wondering...where is she going with this? Is it safe to safe that it is not a sign of weakness when one cries? —— S ometimes it is necessary to let the tears roll down and scream, in an attempt to release all the emotions. It is important to note that crying is not a sign of weakness - that is an old school way of thinking. Crying is a response to all types of emotions. One does not need permission to release what they feel. The simplest analogy to explain this is: Imagine a drain that is blocked and without any intervention, you expect it to miraculously unblock itself. Obviously a plunger is needed to relieve the blockage. It is the same with emotions. Sometimes we need to let it all out regardless of the judgemental 'Tom and Joe'. W hichever way, people will always have an urge to judge, but l encourage you to 'DO YOU...

It’s All In The Name - ’Pen-Pal’

I t's funny how time flies and how times have changed. I am sure you are familiar with the popular statement, "oh how I miss the good old days! ", but were they really good old days? I feel that is something to ponder about.  The other day my daughter asked me about 'pen-pals' and I immediately reminisced about how it was such a big thing to have a pen-pal, when I was growing up.  Don't get me wrong, we all did have friends in the neighborhood, but there was just something exciting about receiving a letter in the mail. I began to smile as I remember how I would come back from school, so excited to check the mail and see if there was a letter from your pen-pal. We lived for those moments and when you see that familiar handwriting on the envelope, you'd feel such a rush of excitement!  In hindsight, it was only just a letter but that letter meant a lot to me as teenager.  Nowadays, you'd be suprised to receive a letter in the mail as services such as ema...
