Why Self Improvement Is So Hard
![john-sting-112631-unsplash.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNgeJvJUT71KX2GRuMKhEbWe5GQmRRhh7TNYJWgAR9hdY/john-sting-112631-unsplash.jpg)

It's not easy to take a long, hard look at yourself and figure out where your weaknesses and faults lie. It's not comfortable to do at all and doesn't make you feel good at all. At first.

When you first start down the lifelong path of self-improvement it can seem as though your picking on yourself or it just feels way too uncomfortable to carry on looking at your faults. Just like everything in life, the more you work on it the better it becomes. It becomes easy to see the areas you can work on and improve. 

I'll give you a personal example. 

I realize that it's easy for me to run 10KM and go to the gym and be physically active in general. It's HARD for me to sit down on the computer and grind out 3-4 hours of work. I realize this and I'm actively working on improving this deficiency every day.

Try this out in 1-2 areas of your life initially and see what you find. Then start working on it. Right away.

Just wanted to say I randomly stumbled across ya on Steemit and I love your posts. Not really wanting to promote myself here, but in my last post I said summat like 'If one more happy person just tells me to smile more' etc...  It's not that simple for some people, but I can tell you appreciate that and your posts are short, to the point and thought provoking. From my perspective the hardest thing is changing your outlook in the first place, and there definitely needs to be more people like you spreading positivity :)

Solid post LD,

clarity of mind and learning to become comfortable in uncomfortable circumstances is the foundation of my self improvement. I feel if they can be mastered, anything is possible!
