11 Tips to Fuel Personal Growth

In the book How to be a Better Person by Kate Hanley, there are 400 tricks to change yourself for the better. Here are some of them:

1. Realize Your Life Purpose

A theory called Ikagai from Japan can help you discover What you should make your life goals for.

2. Find a Place to Calm Your Mind

We all have certain places that just feel good to be in. For me, I just feel serene when I'm in veggie gardens. So now I think about being in this place whenever I need to relax.

3. Cook Your Own Food

a good way to improve your nutrition is to prepare more of your own food. To try this tip out, I made refrigerator pickles. It's easy. You just put cucumbers, dill, salt, vinegar, and water in jar in the fridge (I added garlic and jalapenos too). A few days later, you have a delicious healthy treat.

4. Pay attention to important things

It's easier to develop something when you pay attention to it. For example, an app called "1 Second Everyday" records a series of events in your life like a movie. It will make you wonder, "What will the film of my life be like this year?"

If you still can't imagine your film being filled with positivity, then you need self-improvement.

5. Know When to "Break" and Take Care of Your Mental, Physical and Mental Health

Some of us need social activities to recharge, some of us need to be alone, some of need exercise, and others just need to lounge in front of the TV. After reflecting on what recharges me, I found that I need ample alone time, regular social time, and at least a little bit of time outdoors each day. Now that I know this, I can more easily recharge.
