Welcome to my story, part 3 of 3.

Today, we will dive into how I started self improvement, and how you can do the same. And how to make progress with self improvement.

I want to help you personally for free. You can find more info on that in the end of this newsletter.

Alright let's get into it:

The beginning of self improvement

So I went on google. Yes, google is your friend when it comes to getting answers. Source: Trust me bro.

This led me to Hamza's and Clark Kegleys channel. I owe them both, because they saved me from a life of misery. Their channels are all about self improvement.

I applied their self improvement tips.

So I started working out, journaling, practicing gratitude and meditating. I started making routines to follow. I read books like "The Six Pillars of Self Esteem" which changed my life.

Do you also want to change your life with self improvement?

I can recommend working out, meditating and journaling. Then start small, don’t do 1 hour meditations, do 2 minutes. Increase the difficulty over time. This is how you make progress my friends.

Practicing good habits and removing bad habits was the first step to treating myself better.

I will admit, in the beginning there is some imposer syndrome: "How are people treating me so well? Do I deserve this?" But you fucking deserve to be treated with respect. Remind yourself of that.

So the good self improving habits helped me. But I was missing something.

I didn’t have a goal or a deeper purpose in life. But this all changed when I saw a video on the Youtube homepage: "Get ahead of 99% of people". It was Dan. Dan Koe himself. The goat, the legend, the creator.

He made me start my own website around January. That was a cool experience, but it didn't lead to much growth. I was also in a completely different niche than self improvement.

So I was publishing blogs and tweeting into the void. So nothing happened. This went on until the end of may.

But then I switched niche, and the purpose became clear: Help others like my past self.

Aftermath

So today, I am living a nice life.

I workout 4 times a week. Journal, practice gratitude and meditate. And I write. Every morning I write for about 20 minutes.

Since I started I have:

• Reduced my shyness.

• Reduced negative self talk.

• Become outgoing.

• Increased my self esteem.

And I will help you do the same with this newsletter.

To sum it up, the key points in me changing my life:

• Removing toxic people.

• Realizing I was escaping through gaming.

• Starting self improvement.

Right now I am building a personal brand on twitter. If you are a creator into self improvement and resonate with the content, feel free to hit me up.

I want to help you personally. I can help you if you are struggling with:

• Escapism, no purpose
