7 Reasons Why Investing In Yourself Is The Best Investment You Will Ever Make
For many people, the word "investment" sounds intimidating because we tend to associate it with large amounts of money or the idea that only wealthy people make investments. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, making an investment doesn't always require money. It can also involve investing time and energy.
When you invest in yourself, you take steps to improve your skills, knowledge, and mindset, which can lead to greater success and fulfilment in many areas of your life.
Here are 7 reasons why investing in yourself will be the most rewarding investment you ever make:
1. Developing new skills
Investing in yourself can help you develop new skills that are valuable to both your personal life and your career. Developing new skills can mean learning a new language, improving your public speaking or writing skills, and attending webinars or workshops to promote personal growth. It's important to note that developing these skills doesn't always require a high price tag. I myself have attended many webinars and workshops to improve my writing and confidence skills and they were all for FREE. If you have the resources to pay for certified qualifications, great! But if your financial resources are limited, look for online resources that are available for free.
Use your time wisely, and the internet to your advantage, instead of mindlessly scrolling through social media
Invest your time in education or something that will give you a return on more time, more money, more happiness.
2. A boost in confidence
When you take the time, energy or money to improve your skills and knowledge, you become more confident in your ability to achieve great things. This newfound confidence can lead to greater success in all areas of your life.
3. An improvement in overall health
Taking care of yourself should always be a priority when it comes to your overall well-being. There are numerous ways to do this, such as incorporating regular exercise or meditation into your lifestyle, or implementing self-care practices like reading a book or going for a morning walk.
When you invest into yourself you prioritise your own well-being you naturally start to feel more energised and focused.
Taking care of your health will have a domino effect, because the more you look after your health, the more you can invest back in yourself, and experience success in your chosen area of focus
4. Expanding your network/circle
Don't run away just yet. I know, nowadays, who really likes the idea of walking into a room filled with people and nervously introducing yourself to different groups? But guess what? That was the old way.
Today, in order to network, you don't even have to leave the house. You can join online groups that discuss topics you're interested in, meet new people in a course you've signed up for, or make new friends at your local yoga class.
Whether you attend in-person or online workshops, organisations or events, meeting new people can help you build relationships and connect with others who share your interests and goals. It can even open your mind to rediscovering a whole new world.
5. Increased resilience
Investing in yourself is no walk in the park, whether it be a lack of finances, limited time, or simply not having the motivation, there will always be faced with obstacles. This is not always a bad thing, because when you're constantly learning and growing, you become more resilient to setbacks and challenges. You're also more willing to take risks and try new things, which can help you bounce back from failure and move forward with greater confidence.
Investing in yourself can also help you become more adaptable.
When you have a strong sense of self and purpose, you're better equipped to handle tough decisions.
You’re lead to develop a sense of curiosity and are more willing to try new things, which will enable you adapt to changing circumstances and thrive in new environments.
6. Increased your earnings/salary
It’s no secret that the more you know, the more you are seen as a person of value and expertise. Not all ROI’s (return on investment) are financial, however if you did want to make more money to live a life of more independence and luxury, by investing in yourself others are willing to pay for the knowledge you withhold meaning to make an investment into yourself has the potential to multiple doors of opportunity and come with a higher salary.
7. The ability to live a fulfilled life
Finally, investing in yourself will enable you to lead a fulfilling life of happiness and contentment. By continuously learning and growing, you become more confident, more inspired by your circle, healthier in both mind and body, wealthier because people are willing to pay for your expertise, and more resilient in facing roadblocks. By doing this you are also more likely to achieve your goals and create a life that you love.
