5 Self-improvement ideas that will change your life
Have you ever asked yourself a question: why do we need to keep growing?
Self-growth is a process of evolving from the inside out.
Personal growth is an important part of a person’s growth, maturity, success and happiness.
There are many techniques to help you grow yourself, including creative visualization, repetitive speech, developing a positive mindset, and meditation. Personal development also includes counselling, coaching, and reading. (source)
“Most people think happiness is a by-product of their circumstances, beyond their control, but truly happy people don’t react to the world; they create it with a mindset that automatically seeks out the most positive interpretations, opportunities, and experiences. Moment to moment, the choice is always yours: Which would you rather experience?”
—Dan Sullivan
If you have landed here, I know you do have the underlying desire to be something bigger/better/more in your life. Yet, you might be sabotaging yourself by ‘I don’t know what to do”, and indulging in comforting activities, and in so-called false pleasures (overeating, overdrinking, overworking, or really any ‘overing’). Realise deeply within yourself that these habits do not serve you in the long run, the pleasure they provide is only temporary.
Many of us feel that there is more to life than what currently is. Often, we might feel trapped in the vicious circle of our willingness to change and progress/grow, and we find it impossible to move through the next step. With all the never-ending amount of the self-growth and self-development resources out there, it might be difficult to choose what’s the best step forward. In this article, it is my deep desire to help you out on the self-growth journey by sharing with you a few of the main resources that helped me on my personal self-improvement path.
If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are, you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.
– Jim Rohn
I remember the day when the self-improvement concept ‘hit me’. Even though I didn’t know where to start, I continued searching for the answers. I was certain that one thing definitely had to change immediately – and that was my mindset. Changing the way you think it’s not an overnight process, and it requires a true commitment.
There might come days when you ‘don’t feel’ like doing anything for your personal growth, but I urge you to deliberately choose to do, what has to be done. Do it with an intention, do it from a place of abundance, for the future self.
“The greatest discovery of my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his attitude of mind.”
~ William James
What’s the contribution you want to bring to the world?
You are unique. There is no-one who has been gifted with the same ‘special package’ in this world. Ask yourself what’s the contribution you want to bring to the world? When your ‘WHY?’ is big enough, you will automatically feel the push to overcome your own brain and your emotional life. You will keep going despite the obstacles. And you will know you are on the right path because it will be hard. Please, know that’s ok, it supposes to be that way. To change our old habits is never an easy task. All you do is keep going.
Our feelings and emotions are the product of our past experiences, however, they don’t define you. You can change your thoughts, hence you can also change how the past experience makes you feel. And based on that, you can change the action you take towards your goal.
Below you will find the fundamental self-growth and self-improvement resources that have changed my life. I feel forever grateful I have come across these resources. I trust they will change your life too.

Personally, I have watched so many of the episodes! Literally, like a sponge, I was absorbing as much as I could, but I had a limited time, and there were still so many to watch! So my little tip is to adjust the video speed to 1.25, or 1.5.
It’s about identity. Be the kind of person that gets things done. Even when it’s hard.”
~ Tom Bilyeu
4. The Life Coach School
The Life Coach School founded by a true legend Brooke Castillo, is, what makes my mornings. The podcast episodes are short enough to listen to them whilst you are getting ready for work, or during the commute, either way, once I’ve started to listen to them, I simply can not stop. Often, I listen to some of the episodes over and over. Life-changing experience – however, please, remember, you have to take action towards anything you want to change in your life. A massive action. The best practice would be to listen to the first 10 – 15 podcast episodes to grasp and understand the idea of the MODEL.

Access the podcast on your favourite podcast app or on youtube.
The Universal Truth
There is a universal truth that has been explored and proved by many:
- You can’t change what has happened in the past. Let’s call it a circumstance. A circumstance is always neutral.
- The events in the past/circumstances trigger your thoughts. (You might think what has happened in the past is good, or bad, or right, or wrong…)
- What you think about the past event/your thoughts cause your feelings/emotions.
- Based on how you feel, you will then take further action. Your feelings trigger/cause your action.
- The result of your action will always be evidence for your original thoughts.
Love, love, love it! This concept described above is greatly focused on, and discussed over and over at The Life Coach School and I can highly recommend this valuable resource for self-growth and personal development.
You can listen to The Life Coach School podcast on various platforms. The concept above is called MODEL, and when you practice it over and over, it will not only blow your own mind, but it will help you to change your point of view and make your life better.
Your Life Is As Good As Your Mindset
“Self-growth takes you deeper within yourself before it shows on the outside.”
“Don’t ever wait for the change outside of you, it is the inside, your thoughts and willingness to get uncomfortable, that will determine a different result.”
~ Brooke Castillo

Remember, there is nothing the world has for you rather than the opportunity to share, to give, to create, to offer the value, to radiate, to activate your potential!
You are here to be extraordinary! You only have to decide.
“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” – Tony Robbins
Your brain is the most valuable asset. There is nothing more important than your brain.
Decide on the purpose to change the habits that no longer serve you.
Explore, learn new skills, keep moving forward, reach for the sky!
You are the sky! Everything else is just the weather.
You deserve the best life ever.
Take the opportunity.
“There are no limits to what you can accomplish, except the limits you place on your own thinking.” – Brian Tracy
