Self Improvement Is Actually Addictive — If You Have the Right Frame of Mind
You don’t have to wake up at 5 AM or take cold showers
Self-improvement is deeply misunderstood.
It isn’t about peeling your eyes open pre-sunrise, shivering under an icy blast of water, or lying in a pool of sweat on the squat rack.
While such habits “can” be helpful, they’re neither necessary nor remotely close to what true self-improvement is.
If done right, improving yourself will cease to be “difficult,” “frustrating,” or “overwhelming” — and willpower will exit the equation.
It’ll become an addiction — the most rewarding kind you’ll ever develop in your life.
Nope, I’m not exaggerating.
The First Question You Need to Ask Yourself
Self-improvement = improvement of the physical, mental, and spiritual self.
Going through a set of robotic motions will trigger physical growth at the cost of your mental and spiritual.
With a generous wallop of thinking and introspection, you fulfill the mental aspect. But you risk impoverishing your spirit — feeling empty no matter how “productive” you are.
