The undisputed, most important part of your life is you. And no one knows you better than yourself. The starting point to self improvement is self-awareness - understanding who you are. Everyone is always seeking to be a little more good and a little less bad. There is nothing wrong with that. As a matter of fact, it is considered healthy.
Begin by brainstorming a list that describes you, good, bad or indifferent. You may even have a friend or a group of friends to help you gain a less-biased opinion. Once you have the list, group together the descriptors by what you would like to improve upon or keep the same (even positive qualities merit change from time to time).
Next, before you take the first steps of your journey to a better you, first ask yourself if there is a need for change. Do the negatives outweigh the positives? Is there one thing you would like to be better at? Is the change a physical change or a mental change? Ask yourself the hard questions and be prepared to answer them.
Understand fully what you would like to improve. Write it down in front of you. Do not be afraid to do a little research either. Find others like you that are currently experiencing the same thing, or have already achieved their goal. It may even be beneficial to find others that have failed in their ventures of self-improvement to find out what they did wrong so you do not make the same mistakes they did.
Remember, change is a transformation over time. A building is not assembled with a snap of the fingers. It takes hundreds of thousands of baby steps in order to achieve. Self improvement is not dissimilar. Minor changes and adjustments towards a better you will eventually prove successful!
