When you work on yourself, amazing changes begin to take place in your life. If you find these six uncomfortable signs in yourself, then rejoice: you are really changing for the better and you have every reason to be proud of yourself.
1. You keep asking yourself and others questions
You know that if you never questioned yourself or your actions, you would mindlessly go through life, blindly accepting everything it gives you. Now you have a clear idea of what you want and what you don’t want. You want to think, analyze, and wonder how you can improve and refine yourself to make progress. It’s not that you’re never happy with yourself, it’s just that you’re striving forward, not walking still.
2. You have more critics than friends
People don’t criticize mediocre people; they simply don’t notice them. If you have critics, you know it’s because you’ve got something they don’t. Of course, this is not very pleasant to realize, but it is a fact. People can be jealous of your ambition, your confidence, your stability — whatever you want. If people curse you, it means that you are doing everything right in your life. Those who don’t have critics probably don’t do anything at all. Or worse, they’re critics themselves.
3. You don’t care about things that used to matter a lot
Recognizing that something is no longer of value to you is powerful. We’re constantly outgrowing people, places, and things. You know that there is no crime in this, and the only crime is complacency for the sake of comfort, so you can be proud of yourself. You have already understood for yourself that the discomfort of change is temporary, but everyday life, boredom, dullness and routine can last a lifetime.
4. You can easily say no
Within reason, of course. You now understand that social features are like a transaction: you put in effort and energy hoping to get something worthwhile in return. Those who say yes all the time don’t benefit from it in the long run. It’s up to you to choose what you spend your time and energy on. You understand that you don’t owe anything to anyone. And people who are really close and dear to you understand this and support you.
5. You know in time when something isn’t meant for you
If you take everything personally for years, you end up getting incredibly tired of it. You now realize that this is not only weird, but it’s also bad for your mental health and well-being. You are aware of this and you are confidently doing what once seemed impossible. You’ve changed your attitude and now you don’t think in terms of “good” and “bad”, but in terms of “for me” and “not for me”. My ex-partner? He’s a normal person, just not for me. Didn’t I get the job? It’s just not mine at all. The sooner you adopt this mindset, the less energy you’ll spend trying to fix and adjust things to suit you.
6. You know you’re not perfect
There’s nothing better than allowing yourself to be an imperfect person, which is who you are. You now prefer to “fix” your weaknesses rather than show off your strengths. You can be proud of yourself, you’ve made an effort on yourself. You know that anyone can brag about their benefits (just open Instagram). You also know that the real indicator of a strong and confident person is his desire to become better himself, and not to prove it to others.
