Self-Improvement Sucks
Self-improvement sucks.
Why?
Short version: it reinforces the idea that there’s something wrong with you.
Longer version: it tells you that you need to fix your SELF.
Which is a great way to
a. Make you feel bad
b. Sell you on stuff you don’t need
c. Keep you on the hamster wheel of performing for approval
Newsflash: your Self is perfect as it is.
It needs zero improvement.
Habits, choices, skills - now those you may want to improve.
But it makes a huge difference if you do it from self-love instead of the idea that you are ‘bad’ and need to be ‘better’.
Imagine you’re perfect and have everything you need - now what do you want to change in your life?
What would be fun?
Delightful?
Amazing?
Figure that out and make a plan from the place where you love yourself as you are instead of some future fantasy.
It keeps you grounded in the present moment - which also happens to be the only place you can take action from.
Don’t improve your Self - improve the way you think about your life and what you’d like to do.
