Self Improvement and Overcoming Fears
One of the biggest reasons that many people struggle with Self Improvement and achieving happiness and success is because they have difficulty overcoming their fears.
Fears can take on many forms, and almost every one has fears of some sort. Many fears may seem irrational to almost everyone but the person involved, and the most unlikely of people can be all but paralysed by the most improbable of fears.
Probably the most common fear that holds people back from success is the fear of failure. This can stop us from even trying something because we are so terrified of failing. Or, if we do try something, our deep-seated fear of failure can be so strong that we can almost guarantee an unsuccessful outcome to any endeavour.

Self Improvement Secret of the Day: Change The Way You Feel
Self Improvement Secret of the Day: Change The Way You Feel
What can your physiology mean for Self Improvement? It means that we can choose to change our moods and feelings by changing our physiology.
This may sound too good to be true, but we can very easily experiment. We can choose an emotion or a state, (for example, being shy, timid, and lacking in confidence) and act, move and look the way we would if that was how we really felt. If we let it, this will change our mood and state of mind so we actually feel that way. Then act as if totally full of confidence and on top of the world. Thinking about a time when we really felt this way, or visualising another person who exemplifies these qualities can help. How does that feel?
This may seem like ‘acting’ at first, but it will change our thoughts if we allow it to and have an open mind. This simple method can be used to help put us in a better frame of mind any time we choose. We can actually ‘act’ our way to more positive thoughts and feeling by changing our physiology. More details are available from Neuro Linguistic Programming Specialists and other Self Improvement Experts who use these and many other similar techniques for Self Improvement.

“ We must all realise that emotion is created by motion. The way we move changes the way we think, feel and behave” – Anthony Robbins

How Our Physiology Can Help Our Self Improvement
How Our Physiology Can Help With Self Improvement
It is a well accepted and scientifically proven fact that how we feel mentally and emotionally affects how we look and feel physically. Our thoughts and emotions affect how our bodies feel, our facial expressions, and how we act and move. We can all easily identify someone who is angry, or depressed, or happy, by their face, their body language and their overall demeanour.
However, not so well known is the fact that this works both ways. We can actually change how we feel by changing the way we move, our posture and our and facial expressions. Smiling or laughing is a perfect example. It actually takes a lot less effort and uses a lot less facial muscles to smile than it does to frown. Smiling and laughing also make changes to our blood flow and oxygen levels and stimulates our brain. We all know that smiling and laughing make us feel good and change our mood.

Self Improvement Secret of the Day: Hard Work Will Always Be Rewarded
Self Improvement Secret of the Day: Hard Work Will Always Be Rewarded
There are plenty of people who pride themselves on doing as little as possible, beating the system or getting one over on their bosses. These people are also likely to spend a lot of time complaining about their lot, but probably like things as they are and enjoy the petty office politics. They almost certainly lack the courage or ambition to actually make any changes, and probably never will.
On the other hand, there are people who are ambitious and feel they have made their best efforts, but are being completely ignored by their bosses. In these cases moving on is the only option, and there is no doubt that any person with a strong work ethic and ambition will find a position where they will be appreciated.
Keeping up to date with the latest information in our field and learning new skills and techniques, and working on keeping motivated at all times will certainly help. Whether we desire to work our way up the corporate ladder, or eventually start our own business, having a strong work ethic is one of the most vital of all character traits.
Self Improvement Tips Quote of the Day:
“Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price.” – Vince Lombardi

A Strong Work Ethic is Essential for Self Improvement
A Strong Work Ethic is Essential for Self Improvement
If we want to make more of ourselves and our lives, and seek self improvement, it is essential to develop a strong work ethic. If we are in a job or a situation that we dislike, we must be prepared to make a decision. We must decide to either do the best work we can do in that situation, or take action to get out. These are the only real choices if self respect is important to us.
If there are any prospects of promotion in any position, a person who works hard and is eager and willing, will almost certainly be noticed by the people who can help. We may have to be prepared to ignore the negative attitudes of peers and colleagues who prefer to take the easy option of doing the minimum amount required to get by. But this is really only an option if we have no interest in self improvement or building a better life for ourselves.

Self Improvement Secret of the Day: Decisions Make All The Difference
Self Improvement Secret of the Day: Decisions Make All The Difference
Wherever we are in our lives now, it is due to the decision we've made in the past. It can also be due to the lack of decisions we've made. Many people drift through life with no real purpose or plans and never really make many, if any serious decisions.
If we want to make positive changes to our lives and have greater success and happiness, there are many self improvement books, audio programs, seminars and coaching programs that can help enormously.
However, the first step to making any change is making a decision, whether it’s to give up smoking or start that business you’ve been talking about for years. You can have access to the best personal development tools available, but without having made the necessary decisions, little will change. But when we make firm decisions and know exactly what we want, we will find the strength and resources, and take the actions needed to succeed.
Self Improvement Quote of the Day:
”Vacillating people seldom succeed. Successful men and women are very careful in reaching their decisions, and very persistent and determined in action thereafter.” - L. G. Elliott

Making Decisions is Essential for Self Improvement
Making Decisions is Essential for Self Improvement
There is a massive difference between hoping or wishing for self improvement, or that something will change in our lives, and actively deciding to make changes in our lives.
New Year resolutions often fall into the wishing and hoping category. If we say ‘I’d like to give up smoking’ or ‘I need to lose weight’ or ‘I really should get fit’ or ‘I should get a better job’ our chances of success aren’t great. Why not? The wording alone makes these more like a wish list of things that we think will make us happier if they happened. This is a bit like saying “I’d like to win the lottery” and the very lack of conviction makes their odds of success pretty similar.
These are not decisions. Decisions are when we say to ourselves ‘I am going to do whatever I have to do to lose 30 pounds in the next six months’ or ‘I am not prepared to put up with my lousy job any longer’. We need to decide that ‘enough is enough’ and be absolutely serious that this is what we want. We need to be prepared get any information and help we need, form a plan and be prepared to take massive and consistent action. We need to be 100% committed to our decisions and be prepared to follow through whatever it takes.
