Self-improvement is one of the most important things a person can do for himself. Self-improvement will make your life better in all aspects, with family, friends, relationships, career, and more. Especially after a breakup and in our journey to find new love we need to become better, a better person, and a better partner. But I don’t want this article to talk about the classic self-improvement, which means when you try to be better in general. I want to talk about a very specific aspect of it.

We ask ourselves how we can become prettier, more charismatic, funnier, more interesting people, more self-confident. Those are important questions, but today I want you to explore a different side of improvement. I want you to explore your flaws, your weak sides, your worst moments, and see how you can improve them.

Time to analyze your flaws

Relationships are good when everything is good and when you are all happy. But when you fight, have a bad day, or just have a bad mood, this is where relationship falls. You have to look at yourself at your worse, you need to see what you can improve there. A very important note is that I don’t want you to judge yourself or hurt your self-esteem but to be as honest as you can to find the core problems and fix them.

Try to analyze your old relationships that didn’t work, that ended up. Try to think about yourself in the hard moments, in the moments you felt like you were losing yourself and going crazy. Is there something you always do, again and again, and again? Something you might be considering as too much. Of course, we are all looking for someone to accept us as we are with our flaws and weaknesses. But there are moments when our ‘dragon’ comes out and we just lose it. Those moments can be moments when the second side says:” I can’t handle it anymore”.

Try to think about how you react when you fight, how you solve such situations and think there are things you can manage better, maybe be more relaxed, maybe use other words. Understanding our flaws and understanding that maybe we aren’t the same people when we are at our worse can help us become better people and better partners.

This exercise will help you become a better partner and will help you find a better relationship. Of course, some of your flaws will remain and it should be. You can’t fix all, it’s part of you and I don’t want you to change yourself. What you have to do is to be aware of it, learn to improve it, and manage it better, but don’t try to be perfect. Because no one is perfect.

The last thing I want to make clearer is self-judgment. Maybe after reading this article you will have more motivation to start working on yourself (at least I hope this is what happens) and you will start your journey and when you have a bad day and you feel like you fail, don’t judge yourself. A quote I like:” Each day is a new opportunity to improve yourself. Take it. And make the most of it.” So even if today it was a bad day, don’t worry, go to sleep, rest. Tomorrow is a new day and you will try again your best until you get it.
