All of us want to better ourselves as an Individual, but we are often convinced that it is not possible to become better once we are into adulthood. But, that is not true, there is always a scope for more improvement. We will get into the details of what are the cardinal steps to become a better person, but it is important that we always have the best interests of others in mind along with our own well-being
Learn to manage your Anger
All of us experience anger on a daily basis,but if it goes out of control, it can ruin your interpersonal relationships and play havoc with your health. The first step to manage your anger is to acknowledge that you are angry instead of denying it. Notice what is making you angry and why it is making you angry. There is a difference between feeling anger and acting angry; Recognize that! Try to accept that there are many sides to a story, for example,e if your friend acted rudely with you, try to find out if everything is going good in his life or not. He may be having a tough time and it is not about you at all. Try to change your thoughts about the object of your anger.
You can also practice mindfulness to manage anger; Do not carry leftover resentments and grudges from yesterday into your present. Forgive! It will do tremendous good to you .” Let go of the control of your past over your present”.
Help others
This is an obvious route that you take to become a better person! Helping others increases your good deeds list. Apart from this obvious reason research has found that altruism has a direct connection to feeling happy and adds to your emotional well-being. You feel better when you give than when you receive, and research has proven that. It makes you feel good about yourself and also relieves stress. You experience personal growth, increase in confidence, self-esteem, become more self-aware, and ward off depression. The best part is you can practice it anywhere, right now.
Analyze and utilize your Strengths
When you do activities that you love to do, it is fulfilling and you experience what is called “ Flow”. You experience flow when the activity that you are doing supplies you with the right mix of challenge and ease; Flow is the best state to be in because when you feel too challenged, you are under stress and when what you are doing is too easy, you feel bored. Try to find out what activities make you experience this state and do more of these.
We achieve a long-lasting fulfilling life only when we live a life that has a purpose, compassion for others and Altruism. An unanalyzed life will take you everywhere without reaching anywhere. Be there for others, help whenever and however you can, Love the differences you share with others.
Be the greatest and the best version of yourself!
