A year or so ago, I was trapped in a loop of ‘self-growth’. Constantly trying to be better, but never making progress. I kept thinking I just need to be better. Just do better.
The issue with a mindset like that is it leads to a lot of self-loathing. Hating yourself because you’re not good enough for yourself.
There’s nothing wrong with trying to be a better person, and growth is always good, but you need to find a good balance between striving for personal growth, and accepting yourself as a person.
Before you work on becoming a better person, you have to be okay with where you currently are. Focus on improving yourself naturally. Stop thinking you just need to lock in and be better. It won’t happen that way.
Continue being you, and the growth will come naturally.
