{"product_id":"2940016602646","title":"Instant Self Improvement","description":"Sometimes, when all our doubts, fears and insecurities wrap ourselves up, we\u003cbr\u003ealways come up with the idea of “I wish I was somebody else.” More often than\u003cbr\u003enot, we think and believe that someone or rather, most people are better than us\u003cbr\u003e- when in reality, the fact is, most people are more scared than us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSometimes, you notice that you have an irritating habit like biting off your finger\u003cbr\u003enails, having a foul mouth, and you – of all people, is the last to know.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne key to self-improvement is to LISTEN and TALK to a trusted friend. Find\u003cbr\u003esomeone who you find comfort in opening up with even the most gentle topics\u003cbr\u003eyou want to discuss. Ask questions like “do you think I am ill-mannered?”, “Do I\u003cbr\u003ealways sound so argumentative?”, “Do I talk too loud?”, “Does my breath smell?”,“Do I ever bore you when were together?”. In this way, the other person will\u003cbr\u003eobviously know that you are interested in the process of self-improvement. Lend\u003cbr\u003eher your ears for comments and criticisms and don’t give her answers like “Don’t\u003cbr\u003eexaggerate! That’s just the way I am!” Open up your mind and heart as well. And\u003cbr\u003ein return, you may want to help your friend with constructive criticism that will also\u003cbr\u003ehelp her improve her self.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStop thinking of yourselves as second-rate beings. Forget the repetitive thought\u003cbr\u003eof “If only I was richer… if only I was thinner” and so on. Accepting your true self\u003cbr\u003eis the first step to self-improvement. We need to stop comparing ourselves to\u003cbr\u003eothers only to find out at the end that we’ve got 10 more reasons to envy them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelf-improvement and loving yourself is not a matter of shouting to the whole\u003cbr\u003eworld that you are perfect and you are the best. It’s the virtue of acceptance and\u003cbr\u003econtentment. When we begin to improve ourselves, we then begin to feel\u003cbr\u003econtented and happy.","brand":"Key Infomedia Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180813566192,"sku":"2940016602646","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016602646_p0.jpg?v=1763638311","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016602646","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
