Welcome to the tweet trends podcast. Hey, what's trending today? Hey, I mean, hey girl And you are tuned in to try it's the quickest way to find out what's trending today Happy September it's self improvement month, so let's get started Although September is much more than self improvement month. There's a whole lot of other things I wanted to start the month with this particular topic though because self improvement is not a one-day thing You don't start at eight o'clock and finish it at nine o'clock and go bam.
I'm improved. What's next? It doesn't work like that self improvement is a daily habit forming thing that you need to do and you'll gradually get better You'll gradually change into this as kind of like that whole caterpillar to a butterfly effect You know it takes time it takes work and it's not easy sometimes There are some things that you can improve upon and you're like, oh that was simple But there are other things that it's gonna take doing the work and you have to be you have to be invested So what I want to do with today's episode is I want to give you some things that you can actually do on your own to improve yourself and Like I said, it's gonna take work you got to invest in yourself if you don't invest in yourself And who else is gonna do it? So let's just take the time and do the work do our due diligence and hopefully we'll all come out improved on the other side Even if it's just a little bit a little bit is more than none at all Make good use of your time time is a resource that is non-renewable.
We cannot get more time We cannot add more time to our day therefore each one of us has the exact same amount of time every single day And the only way you can get more than what you'd currently use is if you get up earlier in the morning And you stay up later at night Which isn't necessarily going to make you more productive or allow you to improve yourself in any kind of way because of anything You'll probably end up hurting yourself more than helping for lack of sleep. That's completely different episode So make good use of your time. You may want to consider practicing gratitude Write a note to somebody thanking them for something even if it's something as simple as you know Just acknowledging something. So let me let me fast forward a little and then I'll come back to that Another way that you can make good use of your time is to use that time to exercise Do something for your body for your physical even if it's just taking a walk around the neighborhood It's time you can get out and smell the fresh air and give yourself a moment to think process things Check in with yourself and say like while you're out on a walk You go past this house every day and it's well manicured yard And they have cool stuff out there and when you walk past that yard It gives you like a good feeling why not show some gratitude to the people that live in that house I write them a little note and you know leave it on their doorstep or something just to say hey Thank you for all you do in keeping your yard nice because it gives me such a piece when I walk past it that It just really makes my day, you know letting people know that you appreciate them is it's not only good for the other person It's good for yourself too.
So practice gratitude Exercise meditate regularly now you can meditate while you're on your walk Nobody says you have to be like some type of yogi and sit cross-legged and you know humming chance and little mantras That's not necessarily how you have to meditate meditation can be something as simply as a simple as a prayer You don't have to go all out for it. So you Make good use of your time exercise meditate Practice mindfulness and especially when we eat I think that is the best time to practice mindfulness enjoy each bite chew it enjoy it Think about all the different flavors and just be mindful be a mindful listener when people talk to you when you listen to my podcast Listen to my voice. What are you getting from it? I can you hear my smile?
Can you envision? What does it give you? What does it make you feel and then on top of that self-care? That is another key one if you don't take care of yourself You cannot take care of anyone else you're not gonna be any good for anybody else if you don't take care of yourself So in all of those things any one of them all of them just pick one and chip away at it and then once you feel like you've gotten to a place where that's Automatic where you automatically do things for yourself then add something else on Rome wasn't built in a day Start a daily reading habit or even journal You know you can start with maybe positive affirmations or Beatitudes you can just go straight to the Bible and come up with your positive affirmations there There's plenty of them to pick from and then from there Make sure you have a growth mindset and that can be a part of your reading as well Look for ways to continue to grow if you have a fixed mindset Then you're of the impression that whatever I was born with whatever those gifts are then I can't move beyond that because that is just not possible But a growth mindset says you know what I started off here at point A and I'm gonna work at it so eventually get to point B and you know It's amazing to me how people can have fixed mindset when you look at a child and how a child goes from being this little person It can't do anything for themselves that they grow up to be doing so much and it's amazing So how you could have a fixed mindset is mind-boggling to me like that's just not even how life works Everyone can get better everyone can do better, but you have to try you have to actually put forth the effort So in doing that another thing you can do is measure your progress You know you have to have some type of analysis to be able to look to see what you're doing where you've been where you're going Oh, and on top of that where you're going you have to have goals Without a goal then how do you even know where you're going when you get in your car and you have to go someplace don't you have to know where you're going?
You just can't get in the car and expect the car to drive you there even though people are trying to make cars that do that That's just not how it works So all of these different little things here now I know I'm throwing a whole bunch at you all at one time, but all you have to do is start at one Just start at one pick something think about yourself Kind of you know get a piece of paper and jot everything out what do you see or better yet make a vision board Make a vision board and put all of the things on it that you want to improve at the things you want to get better Doing the ways you want to be better to yourself put those on your vision board And there's nothing to say once again that you have to jump on every single one of them all day every day Pick one thing it's gonna be right there steering you in the face and then say you want to back off from one go to one of the others Come back to that one. It's okay. You know we got time or we at least would like to think that we have time But once again time is not renewable So you can't waste the time the more you sit around and do things that don't align with your priorities and your goals and your values That's time lost So make sure you do what you can to align yourself So that you are doing the best for yourself once you're doing the best for yourself Then you can do better for other people and once you can do better for other people imagine how that's gonna change the world All right, well that was today's episode of tweet trends before I go I do want to bring attention to a particular group It's called pretty girls sweat PR ETTY GIRLS SWAT that's the website that's the IG and I'm pretty sure they're on Twitter as well But they have this initiative right now called sweat makes sense and it's all about doing something positive for yourself improving yourself Fitness wise and then making a difference in the community in regards to childhood obesity prevention programs because this is also childhood obesity prevention month So what do you do you go to the charity that gofundme.com the initiative for a pretty girls sweat?
