One of the things I did was meditation. I’d like to sit still with soft music every morning for 30 minutes focusing on myself and the aspects of me, I want to change. I take stock of the things I want to work on and make mental assessments on how to be better. It helped me grow so much and mature in general.

I worked on my self-improvement by identifying my pattern and learning about attachment theory, which prompted me to go to therapy. I understand that knowing about the issues I feel and have was not enough to heal and make me feel better. So I made an effort and time to be better.

One of the things I did wrong was assuming the journey would be linear. And so oftentimes, I thought I was falling back to old patterns because I was angrier, less tolerant, more sensitive to people’s problematic qualities, lonely and impatient etc. Now, I’m learning to accept that it’s part of the journey and I’m seeing people for who they are, rather than projecting my expectations and that can be difficult, incredibly disappointing and painful, and comes with loss.

For me, self-improvement is when I decided to get into shape. So I started going to the gym and it’s the best thing ever. It freed up my mind from all the bullshit, and the fact that I did something for my physical improvement makes me feel awesome afterwards. It is nice to see changes in my physique it makes me feel better.

My journey first involved isolation, doing all of it at once and caring what others think but that didn’t work at al. Now, I am focusing on getting more sleep, eating healthier, staying active at the gym, taking medication, seeking professional support, staying socially connected, staying busy, and less time spent doomscrolling.

My journey towards self-improvement invokes having boundaries and being in tune with my intuition. The worst thing to do however is forgiving people and thinking still choosing to be close to them. It’s not good for you at all. Sometimes it is best to move on and take the time to heal and love yourself even more.
