Invest in Yourself

When you hear the word "investment," you will frequently find yourself thinking about money, banks, finances, and similar topics. Investing can be about more than just your money; it can also be about your health and happiness, as well as discovering joy and meaning in your life. Self-investment is making time for yourself and remembering to put your needs and well-being first in order to better yourself and your quality of life. 

Similar to financial investments, you need to examine the habits that you have in your everyday life. Are you spending too much energy on something that really isn’t worth your time? Could you put your energy into something more productive? Examining the way that you spend your energy is a good starting point. Take a look at your life and notice if there are any bad habits that you should give up or that you could replace with something more productive and helpful to your well-being. 


Maintaining boundaries in your life is another way that you can self-invest. Just like you would with your finances, you need to set boundaries in your life. You need to be able to tell people “no,” just like you would tell yourself “no” when you’re trying to save money. It is not your responsibility to control how others respond to your boundaries, so you shouldn’t worry about how they will feel when you tell them “no.”


Establishing definitive goals—financial or otherwise—is another step to take towards self-investment. When you have clearly defined goals, you give yourself something to look forward to and work towards. You’re also able to take advantage of the first two points by having a well-defined goal; you’re able to maintain boundaries and examine your habits in order to achieve the goal that you set.


Just a handful of the ways you can invest in yourself are covered in this post. The best course of action for you to take is to simply determine what needs to be altered in your life to allow you to live a healthy, fulfilling life with enough time for yourself. It’s up to you to decide how much you want to invest in yourself, so make sure that it’s enough!

Let Go of the Past and Embrace Change

Leave the past in the past! You won’t progress in life if you’re dragging old habits around with you. If you keep trying the same thing over and over again, and you’re not getting the results that you want, maybe it’s time to try something new. T hink of it like diet and exercise. Some diets won't work for you, just like some exercises work better for other people than they will for you. It’s all about figuring out what works, rather than doing the same old thing and becoming disappointed every time you don’t get results. In order to move forward in your life, you need to learn to embrace change. Sometimes, you can get so caught up in sticking with the things that you know, that you wind up afraid of venturing out of your comfort zone. It’s easy to stay with what’s familiar, but you have to learn to let go of familiarity and let yourself embrace the new and the unknown. You need to allow yourself to be open to new ideas and new ways of thinking. You're stuck where you are righ...

Don't Allow Your Fears To Control Your Life

Everyone has something that they are afraid of—you, me, everyone! It’s not shameful to have these fears, but you shouldn’t allow them to take precedent over your life. Things only have power over you because you give them that power. If your fears are starting to hold you back from living the life that you want, then you need to rethink how you view those fears and learn to break past them in order to move on. Your limitations are only limitations because you allow them to be. You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for, so don’t allow yourself to be brought down by your fears just because you’re worried that you won’t be able to overcome them. You can do anything that you put your mind to, and if that involves overcoming your fears, then you will be able to do just that! When you choose to avoid your fears and not face them, you open yourself up to even more fear, as well as limitations on your abilities. Facing your fears allows you to break free of the restrict...

There is so much in life to look forward to, so let's help each other out by naming the things that we're excited for. I'll start us off by saying that I'm excited to go to the beach tomorrow.
