Self improvement – a journey most of us find ourselves on at one time or another. But sometimes we can also find ourselves struggling. Here are 12 tips for self improvement. Why not give them a try? 
1.  Set your goals –You need to always be looking forward in your life if you want to be successful in your personal development. If you aren’t looking to the future, you become comfortable with your current situation and you will not grow or enjoy the benefits of self improvement. 
2. Become a highly disciplined –If your desire is to be a high achiever in life, you must become highly disciplined to enjoy success. If you tend to be lazy and don’t have a lot of willpower, you are headed for an average life.
3. Think positive – When you think positively you bring out your very best. It will reduce the negative self-talk that we sometimes find ourselves involved in. Positive thoughts, let you see the world with ’rose colored glasses.’ You see the bright side of life. You will find negative emotions like sadness fill far less of your day. 
4. Exercise – Making sure you exercise daily does more than make you fit. It is a good way to de-stress and feel good.
5. Show Gratitude – You need to show gratitude every time something good happens in your life. Doing this ensures you will receive even more good things. Gratitude is an amazing gift that you have right at your fingertips. Use it and watch your world grow. Consider keeping a gratitude journal and each day spend a few minutes writing down what you are grateful for. 
6. Begin to Create Value – We tend to go through life putting very little value on anything. Once you start to want to create true value, you will see that you are improving yourself. When you do that, others appreciate you and you will be rewarded in some way. 
7. Meditate – Meditation is a powerful tool that helps you to clear your mind, increase your happiness and decrease your negative thoughts. It’s an important component in really changing your life.
8. Learn More – Take the time to study a subject you are interested in for 15 to 30 minutes a day. This increases your intelligence and boosts your confidence.
