Being the best version of yourself isn’t cakewalk. In fact, it will be the most difficult thing you have ever done in your life but once you arrive at a certain point in your transformation, you will thank yourself forever.
To be the best version of yourself, you need control of three major areas of your life, the physical, the mental and the spiritual. Now if you aren’t spiritual, you need to get in touch with your purpose and find out what it is. Let’s see how you can be the best version of yourself.
How To Be The Best Version Of Yourself: 3 Simple Areas To Improve
As I said earlier, to be the best version of yourself, you will need to improve on three different areas, the physical, the mental and the spiritual. Let us see how you can do that.
Note: Before you begin being the best version of yourself, you must have clarity on what your ideal self looks like, what he does and what he behaves like.
Improving The Physical
Improving the physical is quite straight forward, stay active in your day to day life. Diet, exercise and improve your water intake. Eat whole foods like meat, eggs, veggies and more. Hit the gym or exercise at least three times a week and try to maintain the consistency in the gym.
Play sports with your friends. Try to reduce any vices like smoking and drinking to only occasions so that they do not hamper your focus. Think about it, if you quit cold turkey, there are chances you will relapse. Life is all about balance, stay focused and on target 80% of the time and you will be sustainable and healthy.
In short,
- Eat in Calorie Deficit if you need to lose weight and in Calorie Surplus if you need to gain weight
- Weight train 3 times a week
- Take walks and play sports
- Eat whole foods 80% of the time
- Do not indulge in your vices every week, try occasionally
- Meditate for focus
Improving The Mental
Mental health is just as important as your physical health and most of the time, a good workout can help with it as well. However, everyone is human and they can’t help but fall into destructive thought processes. That is why, keeping a control on your thought processes and mental health is really important for success.
Now, to improve the mental, all you need to do is break your old destructive habits. P**n, social media, checking your phone every five minutes, procrastination and the biggest of all, the analysis paralysis.
When you start to improve your physical habits, your mental health betters itself. However, to combat that even strongly. Do these,
- Wake up relatively early and take in some sunshine
- Go for walks
- Have gratitude for the simpler things
- Go out with friends once in a while
- Don’t be afraid to solo travel
- Dance
Improving The Spiritual/Purposeful
A lot of people are spiritual, unknowingly spiritual sometimes and that can be good. Spirituality in its core can help you attain a sound mind and a healthy body. Spirituality promotes healthy thoughts, meditation, selective restriction and control from the bad habits.
A lot of people pray to better their spiritual health or even meditate in the morning. You can do all of these if you believe in spiritual health. However, if you are confused and want clarity or progress in your purpose, do these:
- Write down EXACTLY who you want to be in five years, describe your career, your family, friends, your physical shape and your believes
- Once you do so, start doing the things which can help you get to that level in five years and be consistent in doing them
- Ask and solve the tougher questions about yourself
- Refrain from analyzing too much and just start doing things
- Set clear goals and achieve them; there will be problems along the way but don’t you dare give up
That is all you need to know about being the best version of yourself. When all three parts of yourself get clarity, then you will thrive and live life your own way. For more stuff like this, click here.
