Here are some interesting and helpful things that help to improve yourself
1. Identify your blind spots :
Scientifically, blind spots refer to areas our eyes are not capable of seeing. In personal development terms, blind spots are things about ourselves we are unaware of. Discovering our blind spots helps us discover our areas of improvement.One exercise I use to discover my blind spots is to identify all the things/events/people that trigger me in a day — trigger meaning making me feel annoyed/weird/affected. These represent my blind spots.
It’s always fun to do the exercise because I discover new things about myself, even if I may already think I know my own blind spots (but then they wouldn’t be blind spots would they?).
2. Get out of your comfort zone :
Real growth comes with hard work and sweat. Being too comfortable doesn’t help us grow, it makes us stagnate. Change your routine, do something different.Just ask yourself - What is your comfort zone? Do you stay in most of the time? Do you keep to your own space when out with other people?
By exposing yourself to a new context, you’re literally growing as you learn to act in new circumstances.
3. Ask for feedback :
As much as we try to improve, we will always have blind spots. Asking for feedback gives us an additional perspective.Some people to approach will be friends, family, colleagues, boss, or even acquaintances since they will have no preset bias and can give their feedback objectively.
4. Stay focused with to-do lists :
I start my day with a list of tasks I want to complete and this helps make me stay focused. In comparison, the days when I don’t do this end up being extremely unproductive.5. Acknowledge your flaws :
Everyone has flaws. What’s most important is to understand them, acknowledge them, and address them.Again ask yourself first - What do you think are your flaws? What are the flaws you can work on now? How do you want to address them?
6. Get into action :
The best way to learn and improve is to take action. What is something you have been meaning to do? How can you take action on it immediately?Waiting doesn’t get anything done. Taking action gives you immediate results to learn from.
7. Learn from people who inspire you :
Think about people you admire. People who inspire you. These people reflect certain qualities you want to have for yourself too.What are the qualities in them you want to have for yourself? How can you acquire these qualities?
8. Learn from your friends :
Everyone has amazing qualities in them. It’s up to how we want to tap into them.With all the friends who surround you, they are going to have things you can learn from.
Try thinking of a good friend right now. Think about just one quality they have that you want to adopt.
How can you learn from them and adopt this skill for yourself? Speak to them if you need to. For sure, they will be more than happy to help!
