What "Working On Yourself" Really Means

Now is the time to explore. Figure out what you like, and what you don't. Write it down whether it's something you've tried or want to try. This is your go-to list. This is your go-to place for figuring out who you are.

This is part of exploring your interests and curiosities. It's part of the balance. It's part of finding out more about the subjects you love, and exploring good stories. All of it. You're not limited to just these 12 books for a year. But these will be what help you grow.

The voice in your head is the voice you'll hear more than any other voice. With some work, it doesn't have to be mean. You can learn to enjoy doing the things that you'd do with other people, alone. Go out for dinner. Watch your favorite movie. Go for a walk.

Is there a project that you've been wanting to complete? Something you can sink some time into and find purpose? Now is the time.

Job, freelance, find other sources of residual income.

Healthy habits just make me feel better. Exercise. Raise the heart rate. Eat better. Repeat.

Make the phone calls. Go places. Talk to people. Maintain the friendships I have. Grow new ones. Find people with common interests.

Sometimes addition by subtraction is a thing. Let's limit/get rid of the bad habits to establish clarity.
