25 Ingenious Ways To Better Yourself Every Day

by Barrie Davenport

Becoming the best version of yourself is a noble goal, but is it possible to be the “best” version?

Maybe a more realistic goal is to better yourself in some small way every day.

Since life is constantly changing, you must be adaptable enough to shift your mindsets and actions accordingly.

As soon as you think you've got it all figured out, life throws you a curveball that challenges your best self or what you believed it to be.

These events can leave you humbled, questioning everything you thought about yourself.

That's why your evolution never stops — or at least it shouldn't. Life's curveballs are lessons that can help you grow to the next phase in that evolution.

Bettering yourself is a continuous journey throughout your life, and setting aside some time every day to self-reflect allows you to grow and improve yourself.

Why shouldn't it be enjoyable, though?

Self-improvement is something you'll be working at for the rest of your life. Might as well make the process as rewarding as possible.
