May is finally here. No, I am not talking about Peter Parker’s aunt May. She is a sexy aunt and all that but this article is not about her.

I am talking about the month “May”

What are your goals for this month. Tell me. I want to hear them. Pretty please?

If you want to become a better person here are some of the things that you should consider starting this month:

Replace Scrolling With Reading

There’s a stubborn pandemic among us. Its called doom scrolling and i am sure you have heard of it before. Its when people scroll endlessly in an unhealthy way.

Screen addiction is real and what people do all day is scroll through hundreds of TikTok videos and Instagram reels. The scrolling never seems to end.

I wonder what happened to reading. The last time I checked, reading costs nothing yet no one appreciates it. Let’s bring reading back and make it fun. If your phone distracts you from reading, block the notifications, toss it into the fire or just switch it off. Reading physical books is 90% better than reading digital books.

I’ve been reading a lot lately. Medium articles, newsletters and biographies. It feels nice and i can feel the digestion of the incredible knowledge. I could say i feel a bit nerdy but i don't want to brag.

Reading enhances creativity. If you read more, your imagination will have no limits. There's no medal you receive for reading, its a thing you do for your own benefit.

Replace Politics with Comedy

Politics are poisonous to the human brain. I don’t like politics because it’s just sad listening to a guy in a suit lying to masses of people. Most politicians don’t have our interests at heart. They are selfish and manipulate our minds to buy votes.

Many of you are living in poor conditions because of your voting choices. You thought that the man in the suit is going to create jobs, get rid of inflation and fix your roads. But he lied, he just wanted to have access to power and abuse state resources.

I’ve been watching a lot of comedy lately and I realize there’s a beautiful smile on my face that was hidden. Reading about politicians and their agendas made me look like an old man.

Comedy is good for your mental health and for what is worth everybody should have a laugh once in a while. Looking at the current state of our world, you need to display a happy face.

Replace overworking with sleeping

The biggest mistake i have made in the past days is overworking myself. Pushing limits that don't need to be pushed. I stay up late at night reading for exams, writing articles and thinking a lot about my future.

It’s taken a huge toll on me because i now wake up tired i don't look forward to get outside my bed.

What we all need is more sleep. Sleeping is the best kind of rest that has no complications and gives you more energy to get things done. I find an 8 hour sleep to be the most productive thing a person can ever do.

Prioritize sleep, it is one of many things that has rewards.

Replace complaining with innovation

Many of us complain a lot about almost anything.

We complain about jobs, technology, social media, influencers, rent, gas prices etc. The list never ends.

Going on forward let us become innovators. Let us turn pain and suffering into power. Stop complaining like a little kid and work on finding solutions for your problems.

Complainers remain poor and action takers build something for themselves. When you have a growth mindset you can create something valuable out of pain. Give yourself time to think not to beg for handouts.

Replace making dumb decisions with well thought ideas

When you want to learn a skill, you are exposed to a lot of learning material. eBooks, videos and mentorships. So hear me out, knowledge is important but practicing is 10x better.

You can’t be buying every course on the market. You can’t be learning two different skills at the same time. You can’t be wasting your money when you should be multiplying it.

What most people need today is practice and have a lot of patience. You can buy a $500 writing course but without practicing on a consistent basis you will never become an expert.

Learn and execute.

That felt like a rant, but i promise its all love. May is a good month. If you don’t believe it, try out one of the above ideas and see if she won’t be good to you.
