Have you ever heard the African proverb that says, \u201cWhen there is no enemy within, the enemies outside can do you no harm<\/em>\u201d?<\/p>\n

It’s true. <\/p>\n

If you can work on yourself<\/a> to the point where your personal growth just continues to increase, you will be hard-pressed to find anything that can do you any harm.<\/p>\n

Making small improvements on a regular basis<\/strong> may actually be better and more effective than trying to make a lot of big changes at once. <\/p>\n

Small changes turn into habits<\/strong> while trying to make a large change could lead to feelings of being overwhelmed, and ultimately failure.<\/p>\n

Books like The Compound Effect<\/a><\/em> by Darren Hardy and The Slight Edge<\/a><\/em> by Jeff Olson both emphasize how significant of an impact your daily choices and actions have on your life. <\/p>\n

The small, everyday decisions that you make will either lead you to your ultimate goal or begin to take you in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n

You can also practice Kaizen (continuous self-improvement) to build good habits<\/a> that will help you in the long run. In this approach, you are never finished improving, and you are always looking for areas in your life where you could be better or more efficient.<\/p>\n

Daily Self-Improvement and Your Goals<\/h2>\n

Daily self-improvement is all about your motivations and goals.<\/p>\n

It boils down the choice to either live the best life that you can<\/strong> or just to float by under the radar.<\/p>\n

Or to quote Shawshank Redemption (One of my favorite movies), it is the choice to, \u201cget busy living, or get busy dying<\/em>\u201c.<\/p>\n

This post will feature 23 self-improvement habits that feature those small incremental changes that will (in time) improve your life. <\/p>\n

Some of these ideas are probably familiar. You may already be taking action on many of these daily self improvement habits. Some may be new.<\/p>\n

Well, let’s get to the daily habits<\/a>. Below is a clickable table of contents if you want to see all the daily self-improvement ideas in a single glance.<\/p>\n

Practices That Make You Better Every Day<\/h2>\n

1. Keep a reading habit.<\/h3>\n

Reading will not only help you increase your knowledge base, but also expose you to new words constantly, which will keep your brain growing. Just like going for a run gives your heart and muscles some exercise, reading helps improve your memory<\/a> function by giving your brain a proper workout.<\/p>\n

Memory declines with age, and brain functions begin to fade. However, regular reading could help slow this process, keeping your mind sharp. Here are 200+ great self-help books<\/a> that you can read to keep you on the path to self-improvement.<\/p>\n
