TOPIC: Tips To Becoming The Best Version Of Yourself (2)
BIBLE TEXT: 2 Timothy 2:15
“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
In the last lesson, we highlighted five different tips to becoming the best version of yourself. This lesson shall be a further reflection on the subject matter.
To be the best version of yourself, you must be ready to tame your fears. Fear is an insidious adversary that robs us of our courage and distracts us from the present moment. Taming your fears is possible, and it is a necessary requirement to attaining your best.
Another tip to becoming the best version of yourself is to learn to prioritize outcomes. Since understanding how to be the best version of yourself requires looking inward for wisdom, you won’t find yourself by gathering tons of information. Let your ideal self set a goal. Pick something plain and achievable, like getting organized or reading more fiction. Working towards a measurable goal is one of the most effective ways to get out of your head and build confidence.
Furthermore, if you must be the best version of yourself, you must be ready to create empowering rituals. The world’s most successful people who have become the best versions of themselves all have something in common; they’ve developed habits that make them great and put them in an empowered state of being. Such habits always include eating healthily and exercising daily.
Also, you may need to be more compassionate toward yourself. Being the best version of yourself is about you – not other people. Stop comparing yourself to others and recognize that everyone is on a different path. If you’re not where you’d like to be, have compassion on yourself. You’re at a crossroad, and that’s fine. Instead of scrolling through social media or getting down about a recent setback, practice self-love. Always remember to check negative self-talk and replace it with empowering words.
Part of understanding how to be the best version of yourself is learning to be your own boss through effective self-management. Effective time management sets you free from stress, steers you toward your ideal self and relieves you of others’ expectations. To stay accountable and in control of your resources, check in on your progress monthly, quarterly and yearly. Becoming your own best boss makes you a better resource for your team.
Beloved of God, according to Germany Kent, with God, you are stronger than your struggles and fiercer than your fears. God provides comfort and strength to those who trust in Him. Therefore, instead of getting discouraged, stay positive. Cultivate positive and healthy emotions. Always view obstacles as opportunities instead of defeats. With these, you are on the way to becoming a better version of yourself.
