Self-Improvement Steps and Your Finances 3

research can go a long way in the end.


59. Ditch the impulsive (and compulsive) buying- buy only what you need, not what you want. Impulse and compulsive buying can lead to buyer's remorse (especially when the credit card bill arrives) which can negatively impact your self-esteem and self worth. We all love a good shopping trip; but during these tough economical times, it's important to rise above the urge to shop and prove that you can do it.


60. Do the research- better deals on insurance, electricity rates and phone plans do exist! You just need to do the research and see if you can bag a better bargain. Because of the intense competition in our economy, many companies are constantly lowering the prices on their services that you need. Take advantage of this by shopping around, comparing rates and using a quote wizard online.


61. Use Savings Accounts wisely- they don't call them 'savings' accounts for nothing! Set up a savings and a spending account. What you do with your savings account is up to you- perhaps you are saving for a holiday; perhaps you are putting money towards the kid's education. Watching your savings account grow month after month, regardless of if you are contributing $10 or $1000 is an important step in gaining financial freedom and improving your money issues.

Your career takes up more than 1/3rd of your life. Most people work at least 40 hours each week. This is why career success lies so heavily on the other aspects of your life.

Self-Improvement and Productivity in the Working Environment 3

46. Stay away from those distractions- Attention Facebook, Twitter and Instagram users- step away from the social networking! For those who work in an office environment where you are constantly on the computer (and internet), it can be a challenge to stay away from fun distractions such as games and chatting to friends. You need to block these sites to stop yourself from using them at work. This is not good for your self-improvement, and, if your employer catches you, it also won't be good for your career. Other distractions come from gossipy co-workers and text messages. Steer clear of these distractions to improve your work ethics.

71. Respect yourself- and others will follow. If you treat your body, mind and soul poorly, then others will as well. Don't let the opposite sex walk all over you. Stand proud and respect your body and your choices. Self-respect is one of the biggest obstacles to overcome on the road to self-improvement. 72. Be on the lookout for love- for those who lack confidence, mingling, flirting and dating can be a nightmare. However, retreating back to your shell is not going to be any better. You need to push past those fears and go out and mingle. 73. Don't take it all to heart- there are good dates, and then there are bad dates. If you let those bad dates get to you, then you will never be able to enjoy those good dates again. Laugh about those awkward pauses and inappropriate comments. Don't take it personally. Take it in stride and remember that every bad date just brings you one step closer to that perfect one. 74. Get naked! - This is a great self-improvement tip ...
