A lot of people who have joined this community; the 2000 in the old discord and the ~50 in the new community; aren’t actually living life on self improvement. Perhaps you’ve tried here and there, inconsistently, maybe you think you’re too busy to really get on Self-Improvement.
But even minimal progress in mental health, physical health and spiritual health will CHANGE your life and how you feel on a daily basis. This journey has completely changed my life, and if you’re one of my followers, one of my friends; I fully expect you to live this out yourself. You have to respect yourself enough to try.
How do you start Self-Improvement? — I highly recommend watching my beginner self improvement guide on YouTube. But in short, start meditating, gratitude journaling, and exercising every day. Then start learning about diet and how diet affects mental health. Start making healthier options wherever you can.
Meditation is very simple; just focus on your breathing Of your 5 senses; anytime you start thinking, daydreaming, not present; refocus on the present and stop thinking. This may be really hard at first; just do your best; it’ll get easier if you keep going.
Gratitude Journaling; all you do is journal down things you’re grateful for. I write 3-6 things, and if I have time, spend a minute or two on each thing. I’ll imagine my life without it, and then remember how grateful I am to have it. I’ll even find gratitude in really sucky things like sickness and failures.
Exercise can be very simple; just 5 minutes of hard exercise, or a long walk is much better than sitting around all day. Ideally, you want to one day get into Lifting weights and running as well, or some form of cardio.
it’s really that simple. Do all 3 habits everyday, and watch your life improve just based on that.
Genuinely, these habits alongside a few others made me love life again and cured my depression and anxiety.
I really want this community to be more active, but we have to start by really working on ourselves.
