For me, self-growth has become a constant process of me pulling myself out of self-depleting mindsets and allowing myself to assign more importance to my own self, than others.
More often than not, it’s a challenge (as it should be) to do this. I think about other people a lot more than I think about myself; only to find myself spiralling back into unhealthy habits, thoughts and routines.
There are some things that remind me of my priorities, though. And I decided I’d list them out for times when I need them, but am resistant to actually giving in to them.
- Watching ‘Academy of Ideas’ on YouTube
- Listening to Jordan B. Peterson
- Reading quotes on growth from some of the greatest philosophers to have ever lived; including Jung, Nietzsche and Kierkegaard
- Reading some books that have uplifted me in the past
- Listening to podcasts that force me to reflect on my life
