What's one thing about yourself that you're currently working on improving?

If you think of several things, feel free to say those too :)

I would say really started focusing on improving myself in last 2 years. I do meditation to improve both my mental and regular health, I dived in more abstract and complex math, because I feel like the university doesn't provide enough for me and I really fell in love with it. And I'm trying to be better teacher by actually preparing for my classes more than 5 minutes before.

Health both mental and physical are, as usual, my big priorities. At this point it's looking like full recovery isn't possible anymore, but there's still room for improvement.

Definitely my mental health/anxiety. I took anxiety supplements for around 1.5 years every day, sometimes multiple a day (which would proceed to make me sick), but now I've only taken maybe one in the last four months....it's such a freeing feeling. Things are definitely not always perfect and I still have restless nights trying to fall asleep, but I've learned not to turn to those pills for answers.

I'm mostly trying to be a better writer. I also try to not sit down for as long as I typically have in the past -- been making an effort to get up more and keep my house clean. In addition, I've been trying not to talk down to myself, as I often have. Usually, I call myself stupid and ugly and just generally am not kind to myself, but I've been trying to change that. My 2020 resolution of "be nice to yourself" has been rocky, at best.

I’m trying to not take everything personally and to improve my mental health. It’s an ongoing struggle and will be for the rest of my life of course but I’m trying to learn to deal with that and come to terms with it.

I’m also trying to not let people walk all over me.

I'm working on pushing myself out of my comfort zone! I've been applying for opportunities that I was too nervous to go for in the past due to fear of failure or not feeling good enough. I shoot my shot and somehow passed a job interview over the holidays?! So now I'm working part-time as a tutor and though it's nerve-wracking being paid to teach, I'm happy I pushed myself to try and not back out. I also had to fill out this super long application for a club / society I wanted to join for a long time but thankfully I passed the application stage (now for the interview?) :D Honestly I'm excited to see how just giving everything a go will lead me even if I'm still kind of uncertain about a lot of them.

I'm also trying to improve my ability to live independently as I'm going on a 1 year exchange overseas next year so I've been working on tasks like improving my cooking (which has been really fun even though I'm a disaster). I'm OK at cooking but definitely don't think I could handle an entire year of my cooking at this point. But I'm aiming to avoid eating takeout a lot overseas cause $$$ so hopefully that will motivate me to keep practicing. :p

Am also working on improving my physical health - there are a few chronic medical issues I've kinda stalled on properly taking care of. Hopefully once I get around to my specialist appointment (still have to wait almost 2 months), I can start making some actual progress but for now it's mostly a waiting game!

I'm not even sure tbh... I guess I'm still trying to work on just being myself? It's still hard in some ways because of society standards and all that stupid crap. Plus, not everyone really understands my quirky side. So, it's just challenging to be myself around a bunch of people that don't really get it.

This year, I want to prioritise myself more over my work. I plan to take at least 1 unpaid leave a month.

Working on my emotional stability and my financial control and I think I'm doing fine so far.

Bigger challenge is my physical life, my body and actual health. Working on it but getting disappointed in myself quite often.

I’ll try and be less negative and less self-inflicting.

Working on being less negative, being less of a crybaby, and trying to get over my past regrets and misdeeds. I really know I can do it.

I’m trying to complain less and to be as giving as I possibly can. I need to be less individualistic and I need to focus more on others.

Taking control of my anxiety. It's always the one trying to control me lately, and I want to start gaining more control this time. I let it get away with way too much, so I feel like that needs to stop. People have told me that it's unhealthy to let it control me. That's why I'm hoping I can get a better grasp on it.

This has..... a bunch of my things. All the best with the New Year's resolution, by the way!

I can relate to this post too. Hope you're able to get it through.

Apart from these, I am meditating regularly, and have planned to wake up and sleep early in the morning to read a bit of science. I have no physical problems whatsoever, but I recovered from a back problem I got when I was tackled in a game of Kabaddi.

1. Stay in regular contact with all of my friends. I’ve struggled to stay in touch with more than three friends at a time. As a result, I end up ghosting people more than I’d like to admit.

2. Have a consistent daily routine. My schedule has been a mess since I switched to online school. I spend too much time on video games, stay up too late, and procrastinate on all of my work. Without some strict schedule I just feel directionless.

3. Get back in shape and improve my diet. I’m hardly overweight, but I’m not healthy either. Instead of eating grains and dairy all day, I should mix in fruits and vegetables. I also need to exercise more than once a week.
