Comments on: The Problem with Constant Self-Improvement https://witanddelight.com/2021/08/the-problem-with-constant-self-improvement/ A Lifestyle Blog Sun, 25 Jun 2023 14:01:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.1 By: Kayla https://witanddelight.com/2021/08/the-problem-with-constant-self-improvement/#comment-704154 Sun, 25 Jun 2023 14:01:22 +0000 https://witanddelight.com/?p=91990#comment-704154 I see where you are coming from But I think the issue is constant self-improvement materially. I don’t always want to be chasing money, status, and my career development. Even though they are important, I like to constantly self-improve in other ways. Like health, relationships, mindset, and my behavior. It is important for me to always improve because we all have a ripple effect on the world. I do like the idea of this article about improving more slowly, when I tend to try to improve so much at once I end up improving less like people with new year resolutions as an example.

Thank you so much for this! That being said, I have no clue how to incorporate this into my life. I guess that in itself feels like a self-improvement goal πŸ™‚ but maybe it’s a more worthwhile one.

YES to all of this! Women don’t have to “be everything all the time” when in reality we’re all human beings that are messy and flawed and wonderful πŸ™‚

This hustle culture has such a facade of being empowering (especially to women, ‘you’re a boss ass bitch, queen!’), but it actually just guilts people in the form of toxic positivity that preaches the message that being yourself isn’t good enough – unless you are constantly beating your personal best, waking up early, clearing your diet, balancing your finances, social life, studies and work, you’re a lazy pig!

There are those who would benefit from goal setting, striving, and reading a book about how to improve. There are also those who need to slow down, enjoy the moment, and celebrate the place they’re in now. Must people will fluctuate back & forth in the same lifetime. You just have to know where you are, and what you need at the time. And keep it about your journey, not a comparison with anyone else.

Kim,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate you reading and finding care in the words. Being in harmony with who we really are definitely means to be easy on the expectations we set for ourselves πŸ™‚

Hi, Andrea! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it and felt so close to the words. Thank you for reading!

We can’t stay always positive, always motivated, and constant self-improvement… I agree with you that we need to improve in small ways and take care of ourselves, first of all. To live in a harmony with ourselves. I am keen on psychology and write on different topics at https://samplius.com/free-essay-examples/psychology/ website. Your post inspires to be yourself, care for yourself, and remember – it is ok not to be ok sometimes. Thanks!
