How to develop a better self-image.

We haven't had a lovely catch-up in a long time. Life currently seemed to be moving at a million miles per hour. Between finishing my MBA, working for a dream firm (MNC), making time for my personal life, and doing everything I enjoy. Life is FULL. And it can be beautiful in many ways, but it can also be a lot.

So let’s catch up! Here’s a little slice of “life lately”. What’s been on my heart and mind? Not a brain dump, but more of a soul dump. Super casual. No real plan. Just writing from the heart. My hope is by sharing what’s on my mind, maybe it makes one or two of you feel a little less alone. In my life lately, I've been doubting a lot of things. How I arrived here, What I desire. Where is this all going? What exactly are we doing with this thing called life? (I'm in that mindset).

I realize it sounds dramatic. However, it is the truth. It's not a midlife crisis or anything of the sort. I believe it is simply the gift of awareness that time is valuable. And I don't want to look back with any regrets. I don't want to look back and wonder what I could have done differently or I could have lived a different life and I wish I had set different priorities to establish.

So I've been having a lot of doubts recently. I know I've committed awful mistakes, but the new life that God has given me is truly my second opportunity, which I want to make the most of. It is also my humble suggestion to the current generation that it is not acceptable to only learn things after making a mistake. You don't have to go through all of this simply to transform yourself.

Three life rules:

1. Responsibility: Always accept responsibility for your acts and your life in general. Never avoid making commitments. Just because you haven't seen everything doesn't mean you should run away and claim you haven't seen the world and want to make ten mistakes before taking responsibility.

2. Accountability: Surround yourself with people who hold you to high standards. First and foremost, take responsibility for yourself. Let go of your pride. Allow yourself to be held accountable. Allow others to urge you to be of great character.

3. Practice self-discipline: Many people aspire to be disciplined, yet mastering this sort of self-control is more difficult than we realize. Our mental health, upbringing, personal habits, and current circumstances all have an impact on how we treat ourselves.

Learning to be disciplined, like learning to love ourselves or overcoming our anxieties, involves deliberate effort. Though it may appear to be an unstoppable dragon, progress is always possible. With practice, you will learn how to work with who you are and what you have to achieve the self-discipline that is important for you and your goals.

Remember, developing a better self-image is a journey that requires patience, consistency, and self-compassion. With time and effort, you can cultivate a positive self-image that empowers you to reach your full potential and lead a more fulfilling life.

Life appears to be overflowing with a million different things going on at once. On some days, I feel like I'm not handling anything well, while on others, I feel like I'm the queen of the world. Nowadays, it's a coin toss.

Hope you guys have a fantastic week ahead!
