How have you improved yourself?

[scottish]

In recent years what's the best way you've improved yourself?

Perhaps it's not beating yourself up so much, focusing more on a certain aspect of your life, etc.

yeah working on my mental health i suppose and sticking up for myself

[Inseriousity.]

Overcoming anxiety. I'm one of those people that's fairly quiet at first then after a while I come out of my shell and never shut up. Over the years, I've worked to shorten that quiet period so that it's more 'normal.' I went 2 years at college barely saying a word. At uni I was a little better, spoke up in class and stuff. When I started my job, I was crapping myself because I struggle with talking on the phone. I even wrote a script for me to read out because that made it easier. I eventually got over it, ditched the script and now I pick up the phone with no trouble.

I was really overthinking it but I've tried to improve myself by working on the little anxieties in life that were holding me back.

Definitely being less shy/nervous around people and being more confident! Doing my access course/quitting my job/going to Uni has been the best thing for me and has allowed me to move to a big city and have lots of new experiences! Living in halls last year was fun. I feel I've improved my mental capability too, just by going back into education and pushing myself a bit. I thought that I was thick but I've had really good results from my first year at Uni so it's looking good! I try not to beat myself up so much over things these days but of course get the odd bad day. Just have to keep a positive, strong stance and plod through life happily

Physically healthier and stronger.
More disciplined (though not where I want to be).
Basically better in every way possible than 1 year, 2 years etc. ago.

mmm that's a hard one

i guess in the last year i'm more like adventurous in terms of travel

also my maths has got a lot better since doing this course


in past few years i'm just a lot happier this year. the three years of uni were unbearable and now i realise just how bad i felt cos on bad days now i feel awful and that's what i felt like loadssss being away and at uni but i just didn't know it cos i always felt down like that

[lawrawrrr]

every time I think I'm getting better with anxiety or working too much or not talking to people something hits me and I'm back to square one so barely improved at all.

I guess compared with a couple of years ago though I do make an effort to start conversations with people a bit more which is good!

Best thing for me was in terms of relationships - started to put myself first and look at the bigger picture in things. Also managed to overcome feelings of jealousy that I let affect the relationships and I was able to make that into positivity.

For me definitely has to be my confidence. I used to be so shy and quiet around people I didn't really know but it has changed so much
