Want to become the best version of you? Or at least to begin taking the necessary steps to start being more productive, more creative, happier and more confident? There are plenty of ways to do that and some of them involve taking a deep look at yourself and discovering who you really are and what you really want from life. But while this can work, there are also some much more practical and straightforward strategies you can use to keep growing and improving yourself. In this short report, we’ll be looking at the five things you should do if you want to keep yourself growing and improving. These are concrete steps that anyone can take but which can’t help to improve and develop you over time.

Learn One of the most important things you can do to keep developing and growing yourself is to learn. That means that you should keep on taking on new challenges, discovering new things and developing new skills and abilities. Maybe you attend an electronic engineering seminar. Maybe you go to dance classes. Maybe you teach yourself to use a new piece of software to further your career. Or maybe you learn a new language. Whichever of these options you choose, continuing to learn will help to make your brain more plastic as it produces neurotransmitters associated with the growth and development of neurons and neuronal connections. You’ll produce more brain derived neurotrophic factor, more dopamine, more norepinephrine and more. And as a result, you will find all new topics easier to learn and your brain will be more similar to that of a much younger person’s.
