Question

What are the things you do to constantly improve on yourself?

Answer 1

Now I am getting older I make more effort with my health. I try to eat healthily (although I sometimes fail there as I like sweet food) and I make sure that I walk instead of jumping in the car every time I go out.

Mentally I am reading and learning from my online activities every day. I learn about other cultures by coming to Answeree and I like to read for pleasure to keep my brain active. There is a lot of dementia in my family which makes me realise how important it is to keep my mind alert.

In line with the saying, 'you can't give what you don't have'. There is absolute need to keep oneself mentally, spiritually, and physically refreshed in order to face a very challenging and demanding daily task.

Yes. We should focus on our weak area and should develop it. We should develop ourselves both mentally and physically. 

Answer 2

Well, as they say learning never stops. So for personal development, I make it a point to learn something new every year. This is typically consists of a series of short, medium, and long-term goals. This year what I wanted to learn is how to be more knowledgeable in GIS and RS tools. Next year, while I plan on being more versed in this field, I will set a goal to learn cartography.

For other self-improvement goals, perhaps I'll learn how to swim or do something to conquer my fear of heights.

Interesting, knowledge is power and could be the difference between you and your colleagues, but alongside physical knowledge, spiritual knowledge is also important for balance.

Yes, I agree with you. How about you? What do you usually do to improve yourself?

Reading, learning, listening to motivational messages, reflection and meditation are all part of my self improvement routine. Without lessons there is no growth.

Answer 3

I am always a short tempered and have been experiencing this for the past six years.  It has caused me a lot of trouble  especially  with my parents  and siblings.  For the past six months,  I have been trying  to work on this. My aim is to make sure that am in good moods with everyone and this makes me happy.  If I see some argument is about  to erupt,  I just walk away or even remain silent.  Am doing  this pretty well nowadays because I never querrel and if I do,  I later on ask for some forgiveness.

Thanks for sharing your experience, it is a good step you have taken, I think the first point of self control is the mind, because most often it what crosses our minds that we act on.
