AREAS OF SELF-IMPROVEMENT || GOOD HABITS YOU SHOULD DEVELOP
You might be asking yourself what the habits you need to develop are. Don't worry; your curiosity will be satisfied if you take the time and read to the end.
Generally, we have both good and bad habits. These good habits you are about to unlock are areas of self-improvement that will benefit you.
Having the right approach to a particular issue in our life will help us solve some minor problems from escalating.
For instance, you go out to get stuff from the market, and you already list out the prices you got those stuff the last time.
You intend to spend a certain amount without knowing a price increment.
It was after you picked up your goods that the owner told you about the new occurrence - price change.
The right approach is to explain your reasons for paying the old price or add the change if you have it.
But because you don't know how to communicate with people, you rained her with abusive words on why she didn't tell you that earlier.
It's wrong nau!
Here's another example, we all have 24 hours daily to accomplish a set goal or task for that day. While some people are getting their tasks done, others complain about not having the luxury of time.
How were they able to do it? You will find out.
My point here is that you will excel far more in life if you have the appropriate skills that will improve your life, your relationship with people, your career, and all.
So, let's get to it!
1. Good Communication Skills
Having effective communication will help you to have a better understanding of how to interact with people.
It will also earn you some respect from your coworkers, neighbors, and friends.
Know how well to communicate and also be an active listener. Don't always jump to conclusions without knowing the cause of the issue.
Additionally, know that you cannot always win a conversation; politely say your mind and leave.
2. Time Management Skill
I was lacking in this area until I learned about time management, which has helped me so far.
If you can inculcate the habit of planning the time you spend on activities, you will realize the things you can get done.
There are many benefits attached when you plan your tasks.
It will increase your productivity level, lessen stress, and give you more freedom to attend to things that matter.
Get a to-do list, notes, or journal, and list your activities.
You will be surprised that this is what those getting their task done are doing.
3. Leadership Skill
During my research, I realized that leadership is a skill that you can learn. However, some people are born with attributes that make them outperform others.
You will realize that if you strive to be a good leader, it will improve your relationship with people.
Even if you find yourself in a group, it will interest you to motivate others to get things done quickly.
4. Goal Setting
It is essential to set down a goal, whether long-term or short-term. I learned this from someone; he has a journal where he wrote down all his goals.
He will always say that "if you don't have set goals, you will keep wandering in circles."
However, you should know that if you can't meet up with a specific goal, it doesn't make you a failure; it's just an avenue for you to try again.
5. Meditation
If you need to develop self-awareness, it's advisable to meditate. Meditation practitioners term it 'mindfulness.'
There is a relaxing effect that comes with it. It gives you a clue on areas where you need to improve.
Moreover, if you are the type that reads books, it's good to have meditation time.
All that I mentioned are good habits that, if you start developing yourself in those areas, you will notice positive changes enhancing your self-improvement journey.

Wolaaaah👻... And I'm just here on time (I guess 🥶)
Well, talking about the time management thing I was ones fierce with it though and I normally use my phone alarm to set each time I'll do those important activities, since my phone tends to be with me more but I later lagged behind so badly even till now... But off late I've been thinking of getting a diary, guess that will help
And about the meditation too, I have someone who taught me on that. Honestly the first time I attempted, i was truly scared I was praying it shouldn't be a means of initiation to one occultic group or something until later I saw it to be a norm and something really helpful
I didn't make a mistake when I said I should be tagged, I know I can really get allot of benefits from you thanks allot for the tag, I appreciate... Do you meditate?
Wow! I never once thought about using alarms to get tasks done. I've learned something new, and I felt it might work for some people too.
And yes, you can get a diary; you can even use a to-do list note on your phone; I use that a lot of time.
Funny😂 I've tried it hard before, though; I tend to stop sometimes due to some circumstances. I found it very helpful then, you know it lightens my spirit, and I get inspiration sometimes too.
I plan to take it up again.
Thank you for all your engagement and for finding it helpful. I hope to more from you as time goes on.
