Self-Improvement

Did you know that September is “Self-Improvement Month”? Whether you regularly set personal development goals or are just starting a journey of self-improvement, below are several techniques with proven emotional and mental wellbeing benefits to support you on the path to being your best self:

Practice Resilience – Your ability to overcome life’s challenges is called resiliency. Resilience is not a trait that people either have or don't have - it involves behaviors, thoughts and actions that can be learned and developed. It takes time and patience, but you can improve your ability to “bounce back” from difficulties that are a part of everyone’s life experiences. Find tips and information to help you tackle situations with positivity and a hopeful attitude by visiting the Resiliency Toolkit at https://www.resiliency.tools/.

Be Mindful – The art of mindfulness can help you at home and in the workplace by improving your attentiveness and focus. Like resilience, becoming more mindful takes practice. Learning to be aware of your feelings and emotions without judging yourself can reduce stress, help you to think and respond in a cool and calm manner while also increasing your overall satisfaction. Visit the Mindfulness Toolkit at http://www.mindfulness.tools/ for resources to incorporate mindfulness into your daily life.

Meditate – Regular meditation (even for just two minutes a day!) can help enhance your overall health and wellbeing. This mind and body practice has been used for centuries to increase calmness and physical relaxation. There are many mediation exercises you can try, each designed to help train your mind to let go of old ways of thinking and feeling and to create new, more effective patterns.
