My Top 10 Personality Improvement Tips

Written by Alex Marlin on November 24, 2007 – 11:46 pm -


To be a better person in life does not take much effort, but more willingness on your behalf and your ability to adjust to change. You can improve your personality once you understand what it is that you wish to change. Many people try to hard to be everybody else, to please everyone and to be a friend to all. The easiest method that gets the best results is to be yourself. As I always state, you can be anything you wish, if you would only be yourself and love yourself more than anyone else.

Here are my top personality improvement tips:

1. Just be yourself - I hate it when I see others imitating people and not trying to be themselves. You can’t go through this life trying to be someone who your not. People give each other more respect when they know they can trust you and understand you. If your a quiet person, then don’t start being loud once your friends come around. You are you, and that is what people likes about you, they like you because your quiet. I have friends that are very loud, they can walk in a room and take over the crowd, but that is the way they are, and you know what, I appreciate that from them — I never try to be that way.

2. Relax more and enjoy yourself - Have you ever seen how tense certain people are when your talking with them. It is as if they are ready to fight no matter who is talking with the. You have to relax and take it easy, no one is trying to conquer your world. Those type of people are very hyper, and if you start a conversation with them, it’s best to agree and move on. No use to try and prove them wrong, you will loose that battle. Just relax and enjoy life, stop going around trying to prove who is right from wrong.

I have seen people get into conversations about things they have no knowledge of, and I would just listen and not say a word. Then they would turn to me and ask what I think. I always try to give a very brief answer and try to change the topic.

3. Put a smile on your face - There are two ways to go about this, one is to have a normal face without the smile (that is the trustworthy face) or a smiley face. Do you know someone who has such a face? I do, and these people are always happy. It just goes to show that a smile on your face can change your mood. So picture great things and keep yourself in a good mood.

4. Improve your dress code - The way you dress can really put you in a better mood. Don’t dress yourself like a rag doll, because it will make you feel like one. If you know of someone who is classy, then why not try and imitate them. You don’t have to go buying brand name clothes, but look around and start trying to improve your dress style.

Look for ways that will make you feel better. Walk with your head high and feel confident about yourself. Don’t put down yourself, and don’t let others put you down.

One thing I hate to see is people wearing their grandparents shoes. If that is you, get with the program. Buy yourself at least two pairs of dress shoes, and start adding a pair every couple of months. If things is tight then just buy one pair, but change it once it is worn. No need to wear them until the soles has wholes.

5. Come out of your shell - Start being a little more friendly and try to talking with people you don’t know. For this to work you will have to start doing things a little different than your accustomed to. You will have to start reading different books, looking at different programs. Just get in the know, that way you will be able to have a conversation about things you never knew before.

Even if the topic is something you have no clue about just listen, and ask questions about the topic. People love to show you how much they know, stop trying to take over the conversation, just become a more attentive listener.

6. Stop trying to be everyone friend - In this life you don’t have to be afraid of anyone, and you don’t have to be friends with all. Don’t do things to please people, do what you like and if someone doesn’t like that, then too bad. You have to understand that when you try to please, you will get stepped on. That way it will look like they like you, but in truth your just being used.

You just need a couple friends that are very close and just be cool with everyone else who you know. you not trying to build enemies, but you don’t have to have everyone as a friend. just greet and be nice, you don’t have to talk to all whom you meet, your not a politician.

7. Get yourself a cologne or perfume - You have to get this one right, if you want to look different and be different, then you have to smell different. Just go to any perfume store and buy yourself a perfume or cologne. You don’t want imitation, they smell awful. If your unsure what to buy, ask the sales people what’s new or what smells great, make them give you plenty of samples. Take your time and pick a scent that you like.

If you still unsure then don’t buy just yet, go back another time with a friend and ask for their honest opinion. When walking on the street and you smell someone with a nice fragrance ask what they are wearing, and go get one.

If you smell good, you will feel more confident, it will boost your ego.

8. Stop complaining - if someone comes to you with a complaint about someone or something, just listen and try to say the least possible. Don’t join them in their complaint ritual. Your trying to improve your life, and that means the less you complain the better it will be for you.

Complaints doesn’t solve problems, action does, so stop wasting your time and energy.

9. Get a more positive outlook on life - Stop being so negative and bringing more failure onto yourself. You have to get a more positive attitude and start seeing the good things that life has to offer. Spend less time worrying and more time doing, action is what makes this world go round and is what gets things done.

10. Start dishing out more of what you wish to receive - I have to give a good friend of mines credit for this one, and just had to mention it here. Your life is like a bank account. You can’t withdraw any money until you put in.

It all starts in your mind, if you want to improve your personality, you will have to do things that caters to those needs. You are what you think of all day long. Don’t sit and become a looser because of your negative attitude.

If you want to be loved, then you have to deposit love, that is the only way you will be able to withdraw love. If you want to live a healthier life, then start doing things that will improve your health. If you want a promotion on your JOB, then start doing things that will show your entitled to a raise and your boss will notice it. No A&* sucking here, that will not help you. No matter what you want in life, you will have to start making deposits before you can expect to withdraw.

Just be yourself and go prove to the world that you can be someone to look up to. You have seen my personality improvement tips, now start working on yourself. I can bet you that if you just pick two or three of the above tips, in a couple months from now, people will start to notice the change in you.
