[@andresbriones8054]

@@ciro4063 You have to learn how to love yourself even if want to improve. Because if you don't, this will never happen or will never last long because there is always something to improve.

[@ciro4063]

@@andresbriones8054 Take it from a guy who has truly got over their past. You get over your issues then you accept certain truths. That's it. There is no more improving aside from being more understanding of others because there are 7billion people in the world to understand, but aside that, no there really isn't much to "improve" yourself to be at peace. You can try to love yourself before you care for others but growing happened much better when I wanted to grow to help others. So my end goal was once I had enough knowledge that I would help them. See, loving yourself to be is selfish. Selfishness will only take you so far. You grow to ultimately help others because there is no way a *human* would be at peace after moving on from past trauma and not wanting to help others. It's that selflessness that helps you grow, to be more understanding of others and yourself

1. Drink more water. Or, eat a lot of grapes. I suggest red, green, vitoria grapes. 2. Eat Whole Foods. Fruits = grapes, blackberries, strawberries. Vegetables = Broccoli, Onions. 3. Practise Gratitude. Be grateful for what you have, then you will always have enough. Keep thinking about what you don't have, and you will never have enough. 4. Read a book. Top books I recommend are the subtle art by mark manson, and how to win friends and influence people. 5. Listen to a TED talk. So many topics! 6. Forgive someone. This is good for yourself. You let go of the stress, the anxiety. 7. Join a group of supportive individuals. You are the people you surround yourself with. You are what u pay attention to. 8. Congratulate yourself for your growth. Positive reinforcement lets u keep going. You are getting better every day. Well Done!

[@krazykelleys]

I found that I was forgiving people too easily and being too nice so I actually kind of had to feel my anger and realize some people weren't good for me and keep them out of my life in order to start healing and find more peace and contentment. Kind of a strange paradox but it worked for me and I honestly think our society teaches people to forgive and keep taking abuse too easily. I get that forgiveness is for the person doing it and that it doesn't mean you have to have a relationship with the person abusing you but a lot of times that is left out and people just hear "forgive and forget and let the person keep being an entitled jerk and treating me badly and I'll find happiness," which is NOT the case. My own list of self improvement and becoming happier had to include learning how to enact boundaries that protect me from other people's negative attitudes and behavior, up to and including feeling enough anger at them to stop talking to them and keep them out of my life, even if I did eventually forgive them for my own well-being.

@@psychologyis Well of course, appreciating what you have is a must, especially if it is an awesome friendship relationship family etc. Thing is you can't just tell people, "Hey you look sad, be grateful for what you have, it'll cheer you up." One needs to go through a lot of self-reflection, brutal honestly, hard truths to accept, understanding others.
