7 Tips For Self-Improvement And Becoming Limitless

1. Mindset

Mindset first on the list I would like to share, is the importance of having to BELIEVE in yourself. Do not allow anyone to say what you can and cannot do. EVER! You have to have faith and the belief that SUCCESS is possible for you; and build that mindset, make it bulletproof.

By believing in yourself, you can start by getting rid of the limited thought process that you may have. Stop telling yourself, 'no' and 'I'm not good enough or "I'll never make it." and just imagine and see yourself there already because the person who says they can't, and the person who says they can, are both usually right.

I once pulled a quote from Alex Morton, and he said "The person who succeeds, must see themselves successful before they even get success. It is crazy, but ACT like the person you want to become." and in my understanding that does not mean go and buy expensive things like that person you want to be, or rent a foreign sports car as that person has, nor lie to others about things you have happening or working on unless it's true, but don't do it when none of it is true.

Overall, just do not fake yourself out, instead, act as if you had that opportunity to be a successful person's roommate for a month. Notice and acquire their habits, personality, passions, efforts, likes, dislikes, maybe even the way that they dress because it'll give you a newfound sense of confidence and in my case a sense of leadership.

In my senior year in high school, I began to follow this tip and it helped me to build my self-confidence because I looked good and I dressed like the successful person I wanted to be, and at that time. I wanted to be Alex Morton and nobody was going to tell me different.

In my classes I became the first to answer questions and volunteer for different things and I began to speak in front of the class to help motivate my classmates and I helped our teachers in anyways I could, I more-or-less became a well-rounded leader, just by thinking of how Alex Morton would act and through that, I began to see myself as a person who could do some amazing things.

It dawned on me, maybe the difference between successful people and ordinary people was that little 'extra.' Successful people are almost always doing things, sometimes just doing others aren't, and being consistent.

Later in the year I had added Alex Morton on an app called Snapchat and took note of how he was always traveling and growing his business and brand. He was almost, never home. Always traveling and surprisingly he kept his energy and mindset, no matter what!

It could've been 2 am, 3 am, 4 am, 5 am, 6 am flights to and from Arizona to Nevada, to California, to New York, to different countries, and back. Alex would declare and keep his mindset.

Three things I noticed and took note of was that he had a

set schedule and an amazing drive to continue to push, and a bulletproof mindset through the jet lag and constant movement in his days.

I applied this to my life by starting my mornings off with a small pep talk. I would tell myself how great I am. All of my accomplishments and how I needed more. If you've ever made a "Why" factor, apply it here because I used mine here as well. I have it pinned on my wall right next to my mirror where I know I will see it and read it every day.

A "why" factor is a piece of paper in my handwriting stating what I want out of life and my reason for it. Also my pledge to get it. It's something I suggest everyone who wants to improve their life, to make.

I stopped saying negative things about myself to myself, and I began to change with this new habit. Again, I remember that it built up my confidence as well as giving me a plan, no matter where I could be in the day. It became a thing for me to think about my "why" paper, and with every step I took, I aimed for it to affect my paper positively. It did.

I remind you, I am still in studying while I’m working on myself. It was about late December or early January when I implemented change into my life. I began to build my bulletproof mindset in high school and this was most likely the best decision I made in high school, to be quite frank but it’s never too late to build and work on yourself. Thank you for reading this far. I can already see most stop reading here.

2. Know Yourself

Knowing yourself is something I've picked up from Gary Vee or some may call him Gary Vaynerchuk. "It is rarely spoken of in the business world because things are sometimes "1st place or nothing" and there's a subconscious standard for everyone." - Gary Vee

I found Gary Vee on Twitter, He had an article through some magazine website where he spoke of himself and how he knows himself so well and how knowing yourself is vital knowledge, that everyone should have, to know yourself is to be comfortable and a type of safety mechanism so you do not bullshit yourself in your strength and weaknesses leading to a hazardous effect on your decisions when you begin to analyze yourself as a person and move forward with growth and progress in your current efforts.

Gary's a very charismatic person and it projects him in interviews and projects while also projecting him into bigger and better things.

In my opinion, knowing your strengths and weaknesses and accepting of all your flaws is so important, also your level of awareness of your strengths and weaknesses is important too. How can you apply your best efforts if you don't know them? It would be like asking you "what are you passionate about, and not passionate about," like honestly, what do you know about yourself?

This is vital and this is something I had a strong difficulty understanding myself in life, but constant and consistent effort worked itself out and I'm still working on it, although I still laugh about this part, because I feel it's super cliche to say I'm understanding myself as a young adult entering the world. Isn't it what I'm supposed to be doing? yet, I added an emphasis on it because I was building myself up like an entrepreneur would need to, while still in high school.

It still brings a smile to my face when I think about it.

There's more in the world and I know it, but I haven't experienced it yet, but as of right now I know myself and understand myself enough to make better judgments and decisions for my future, but maybe I'm a lucky one because my friends at my age still are iffy about what the next step is and what where they will be in the next five years, or maybe I made the decision myself that I wanted to change in my life and this was a calling to help guide and lead me to that change.

It's safe to say, yes. It was the third option, I decided and it leads me to a pretty awesome change while in high school and just beyond high school and its graduation.

This helped me. Understanding and knowing myself as a human being in this wonderful world.

3. Meditate

If possible, meditate for 20 minutes daily. Quiet the mind, if you do meditate the benefit is that your mind and way of thinking are clear and easier to make better decisions, and it allows our greatest work. You will operate in a peaceful state while everyone else is stressed. It is possible to do it first thing in the morning while getting ready for the day.

For needed guidance, the internet has many guided meditations on the internet to give you an idea of what to focus on and how to, just keep it consistent.

Also, on a side note. DRINK A LOT OF WATER! Make it very minimal for drinks that are high in sugars. Drink water, drink water, drink water! I drink one gallon a day which is very, very good! If you don't drink lots of water, the risk of injury during exercising is high.

4. Dress for Success

Have you ever heard of the term "Look good, feel good." ? This chapter is exactly that. Dressing well, will lead to attention in a room, people tend to like other people who dress and look good and more often than not, the way you dress and carry yourself will be noticed before anyone has time to introduce themselves to you, or you to them. Dressing well, will add confidence to you and your walk.

When you go and get that interview for a new job, you don't wear a t-shirt and basketball shorts. Hopefully you dress up, to what? (to look good) EXACTLY! to dress for success, is to literally dress for success. Success is tied into becoming limitless. A tip of mine I would like to share, is DO NOT go broke, trying to look rich. I repeat, DO NOT go broke trying to look rich. Okay? What I mean by this, is that you do not need the high fashion name brand clothes to look good, unless you want them. Use Pinterest or something relative to find a look and go to a local Macy's, JC Penney's, Stage, Ross, Cato, Buckle, Dillard's, TJ Maxx, Sears, Nordstrum Rack, Old Navy, or sometimes even Kmart. You can get better deals on clothing from these stores than others, but that is my opinion. You can shop how you want to.

Dress for success and opportunities will come.

5. Health Is Wealth

We live in a highly stressful environment today with the internet and hectic work schedules. Taking the time to work on yourself has amazing benefits. So when you work you will become happy and relieved, stress free, and more resilient. Taking care of your body is must and when you do it, it'll make you feel better and it'll influence you to be a better feeling person, which leads into turning into a better person, parent, businessman, business woman, or even student.

Start a routine and stick with it. Anything works, start with a casual walk, maybe time it, five or ten minutes and casually grow with it. If you need help search for a simple plan online or ask a friend or someone you know that is always working out to maybe make you a plan or ask if you can tag along sometime.

6. Eat, Sleep, & Learn

• Eat: Please acquire a healthy diet, if you do not already have one. If you take of your body, your body will take care of you.
• Sleep: Please aim to have a set time for sleep, try to get at least seven/eight hours of sleep nightly.
• Learn: Please aim to learn something new every day, by learning one new thing a day, how much would you have learned at the end of the year? a lot, right? exactly. Aim to learn one new thing daily.

If anything, read. The great leaders are readers. Aim to read a book a week, schedule a time of thirty minutes to an hours of reading daily.

STAY CONSISTENT

A example of consistency, is my choice of writing some more books. I am not the best, but I'll continue to write more to get better. Another example is my choice to workout everyday, drink one gallon of water each and every day, and show gratitude every day.

If I can do it. You can do it.

7. Declare.

Understand, that one of the greatest drives of all human beings is the drive

to succeed. It may not be money, may not be a car or a fancy watch, and it

may not be the ability to give back to a church or a loved one, but all human

beings are fired up about becoming successful. It is the drive for

improvement and progress, and like Tony Robbins once said "Success is

linked to progress, progress is linked directly to happiness." It is the growth

and progress that give us a sense of accomplishment and

accomplishments that make us feel successful. After all, if we're not growing

and getting ahead, we are decaying and falling behind. Everyone

wants to get ahead. Everybody wants to improve. Everyone wants to get

better! NOBODY wants to fall behind, nobody wants to fail and nobody

wants to suck.

So, what if you could achieve all that you desire and even more? What if

you could unlock your human potential?

We are all God's highest form of creation. We all have the same mental

faculties and we all have a conscious mind and subconscious mind, where

we can dictate. It has been proven before, that our outside life leverages our

inside life, being our current lifestyles, personalities, and influences. They

are the game-changers behind the scenes to our mindset and our ways of

thinking.

Now, certain habits and ways of thinking can change how we are as human

beings, and with the following information, I would like to share that it has

helped shape me into the person I am, but it wouldn't have if I didn't declare

to myself that I was willing to learn. Please go find a mirror and look at

yourself. Look into your eyes and ask yourself, "how badly do you want

to learn, and improve?" Because without the patience, drive, and

persistence. You will only waste your time.

Please declare to yourself that you want to improve and learn. Then go do

it.
