What does it mean to invest in you?
For me, to invest in yourself is to decide and commit to becoming a better you by taking action to grow and improve you over time.
Improvement doesn’t happen automatically.
If we want to become better; we have to work on it.
The effort you put into investing in yourself plays a large role in determining the quality of your life now and in the future.
Become a Better You
Becoming a better you, requires a curiosity and willingness to explore grow and invest in you.
Scientists use their curiosity to gather information to formulate a hypothesis then research, define and conduct experiments to test their hypothesis.
Artists learn the tools, techniques, and methods then continuously practice them and incorporate them in their art until they master it.
As human beings, we are multidimensional and multifaceted.
We are of mind, body and soul.
- We are intellectual and are creative
- We have heart and are emotional
- We are social creatures that crave connection and community
- We are physical living beings
As such, there are many areas and ways we can invest in ourselves.
I’ll share some ideas in the future blog posts.
Until then, consider….
If you were to invest in you what could be different?
