Now as I get older, I had a wild journey with self-growth but it’s a never-ending
journey. With going through so many life changes, I never got a chance to take care of
myself properly until crazily..now. I started to appreciate myself more and not be so
judgemental of myself whether it’s how I am or how I see myself. Over the years, I
learned a few tips to help me in this self-growth journey, and I want to share them
with you today. Before we get into that, a quick definition from Berkeley - Well Being
Institute:

“Self-growth sometimes referred to as “personal growth” or “personal development,” is
a process of developing new skills, attitudes, actions, or reactions that can have a
positive impact on your life and increase your overall well-being.”

It's truly amazing how a few changes in your life can make a difference. Some changes
can be easy and some can be difficult to adapt to but just putting in the effort is
making a difference to me, because you thrive for change, for growth. As said before,
I'm going to go through a few tips that help me and they are mostly attitude changes.

Accepting who you are

I had a bad habit of comparing myself to other girls growing up. Whether it’s how my
face looks, my hair, my body, my personality, or my everything. At 21, I learnt that
there's absolutely nothing wrong with me. Everyone is made the way they are for a
reason…imagine the world if everyone looked the same, it would be awful haha. To be
honest, they are days where I may have an issue with myself and I think that is fine, I
think it comes with the journey. It’s tricky to look in the mirror but it is the way I
started to appreciate myself. It’s not about only looks, just who I am. I’m not like
everyone else and that's okay. I learnt that accepting my differences will help me
appreciate and love myself.
