Enjoy Blogging About Self Improvement

By Ruth Carter


All of us have had life experiences. Some of these will have been triumphs, while others may have been the most ghastly mistakes. However, we have learned even from our mistakes. Passing this learning on is fun on many levels, and sending our thoughts out into cyberspace is liberating. It can also be helpful to others who need encouragement or comfort. Blogging about self improvement is satisfying and just might be a lifeline thrown out to a floundering soul.

Everyone likes to talk about themselves. It's a lot harder to get listeners than it is to choose topics to expound upon. With a blog, the fear of boring the listener is lessened, as is the risk of making embarrassing personal revelations. With only a virtual audience, it's easier to relate your own experiences and the things you've learned from them.

It is true that we don't understand ourselves as well as we may think we do. Sometimes writing our thoughts and deep feelings helps us come to a deeper knowledge of our motives, our execution, and our intentions for the future. If we want to improve ourselves, we need to evaluate the past and determine - with real zeal - to do things better the next time around.

It seems to be a human trait to enjoy telling others what to do. Few of us have family and friends who care to listen to us. Passing on the lessons we've learned- and how to avoid making the same mistakes we have - can really help others floundering through similar circumstances. We can point out warning signs and pitfalls that we now see with hindsight.

Level three: it just may be that our perspective on life, love, work, parenting, being a son or daughter or sibling, or getting along on not-quite-enough of some vital thing could really help someone else. Doing good is a human instinct that gives great satisfaction, and we may not have enough of that emotion in our lives. In helping others, we get our reward in the inner glow of doing a good deed.

Had a bad experience at work? Think of the satisfaction of telling about it - in order to illustrate a self-improvement point - with names changed to protect the guilty. Maybe you successfully thwarted a bad manager or wrong business decision, or maybe you just learned that grousing was counter-productive. Maybe you decided that a job in the hand was worth putting up with a certain level of disappointment. Whatever the deal was, if you were able to cope, your experience might help someone facing a similar situation.

Don't work? Talk about how to save with coupons, grow superior tomatoes on a vertical support on your tiny balcony, teach your kid to read when the school system fails to, or teach yourself to touch type. Writing a blog is much better typing practice than doing those dumb exercises. When you can do 200 words a minute, you can get a medical transcript job and save for the vacation of your dreams.

Maybe you will become famous, if not rich, through blogging. Think of what could have been if Erma Bombeck had had a PC. Maybe you will build a following online that rivals the newspaper audience of Dear Abby. It's something to consider - and you 'can do it from the privacy of your own home'.
