Women must make good choices for many reasons, including having a greater sense of self, increasing confidence, and learning from experiences. But, becoming a better decision-maker involves taking risks and knowing that not every decision will be the best one.

Making mistakes is not necessarily a negative thing. It gives you more confidence in your ability to make decisions in the future based on those experiences. But, examining choices helps women make well-rounded decisions and grow as decision-makers.

Make Better Choices

A successful way to embark on a self-improvement journey is to make better choices. Women sometimes make choices without realizing they are making decisions that will impact their lives for the long run.

Maybe you have a weak record of decisions when trying to take care of yourself, but that does not mean it cannot change in 2020. Begin by applying both emotion and logic when you make choices.

No matter what it is you would like to do, look ...

If a woman has a perfectionist personality, she wants all tasks to be completed flawlessly. These types of high achievers suffer more stress than women who are not perfectionists. When it comes to time management, believe it or not, perfectionism works against you.

1. Know that it is all right not to do it all.

Forget multi-tasking. Multi-tasking is synonymous with doing several jobs poorly at one time. That is very frustrating to someone with perfectionist tendencies.

You do not have to carry out everything in one day. Instead, concentrate on what is right in front of you that has to the earliest deadline first. Get that done, and then move on with the next task.

2. Give everything you do a time limit.

Whether you are a perfectionist or not, this is a good rule of thumb for any woman looking for better time management. Open-ended tasks tend to pile up because there is no finish line.

If you look at the whole picture of what is left undone, it can feel overwhelming with you...

There is a common misconception that optimistic women are a particular breed and always make the right choices when handling their emotions. But a negative mindset forms when a woman consistently gives in to the negative thoughts that will naturally pop up for all of us.

On the other hand, a positive mindset starts when a woman consciously tries to replace those negative thoughts with positive ones. So, all that it takes is some effort. You need to put negative thoughts to the back of your mind and strive to find the positive in any situation.

Have a Growth Mindset

This is needed to end everything that ever holds you back from bettering your life. With just your mind, you can affect how your day will go, how you will feel about the circumstances you encounter, and the overall outlook about your future.

The mindsets you hold come naturally, which means most women do not even realize how they conduct themselves. A first step is to recognize the type of mindset you have an...

Give Up Procrastination

When tasks feel overwhelming or provoke anxiety, they are often avoided. Women put off tasks because they do not believe they will enjoy them and want to avoid making themselves unhappy, or fear they will not do the tasks well.

Definition from Oxford Languages https://languages.oup.com/google-dictionary-en/

Procrastination is a barrier to self-improvement.

You will start the diet tomorrow. You will set boundaries after this next family vacation. You will change your negative habits when you have more money, time, or a better life situation. Procrastination becomes your habit.

When you realize how it happens you can replace it with a better habit. This is the key understanding to help us overcome procrastination and other obstacles that life brin...

Take Healthy Risks

It is human nature to reach your comfort zone and remain there. This can take place in all parts of your life. You can get to a certain point with your finances, health, relationships, and weight, and you remain for the long haul since change is risky. But sometimes, you need to accept change for growth.

Growth means you may have stretch. It would be best if you reached outside your comfort zone. Usually, when women sense a challenge to step away from what is known and leave it behind, they start to retreat.

Women all have perspectives on what is attainable and what is out of their reach in our personal and professional lives. But, taking risks and making mistakes are essential learning experiences. And healthy risk-taking can build confidence!

You might list dozens of ways why it is better to stick with what you know than dive into that unknown. You may want to go back to school or start your own business, and you have wanted it for a long time, but ...

Sometimes women hold onto a habit simply because it is something they have always done or how they have thought for years. An example of this would be saving money and controlling your finances but consistently blowing your budget on the spur of the moment buys.

You may very well think one way and even acknowledge out loud that you want to break a bad habit, but then you turn right around and give in to behaviors that sabotage your aspirations. You know what you are doing (or not doing) that holds you back from living your best life.

It is not easy to tackle the worst part about yourself. But if you do not acknowledge what is going on with you, you will not alter it. Recognizing that self-defeating habit is where you start.

Recognize how it is keeping you back from experiencing your goals. For example, if you would like to go on a nice vacation but always spend your vacation fund, you sabotage your plan.

Once you identify that self-defeating habit, you can move into sel...

As you learn new skills, it betters you as a person. It fills you with the self-confidence that you can achieve everything you set your mind to accomplish. The skills can be something like learning how to manage your time better.

"In a fast-moving, competitive world, being able to learn new skills is one of the keys to success. It's not enough to be smart — you need always to be getting smarter," says Heidi Grant Halvorson, a motivational psychologist and author.

Many women miss chances to grow as a person because of poor time management and how stretched their day is for time. They often ignore possibilities that come their way or immediately dismiss them, thinking they cannot possibly juggle anything else.

Be sure the skill either solves a problem you are facing or is directly applicable to your life. Be as specific as you can. This will give you the incentive to learn the skill.

Here are some easy skills that every woman should learn:

• create, maintain, and stick t

Boundaries are the limits on which women live, based on what they are not willing to put up with in a place or with another person. Setting a boundary means you impose constraints on what is appropriate.

These constraints can refer to what you will take for your emotional and physical self. If you have a boundary, it feels a lot like self-care - since it is. It implies that you recognize that what you need to be whole and healthy is equally necessary as what others may need.

Boundaries safeguard your space. It means that your opinions do not vary just because someone else feels another way. Giving boundaries means saying no when something crosses the line of what is okay with you.

An illustration of this could be a woman who does not want to be around someone constantly creating family drama. So, she does not spend any more time with them than necessary. But, another relative thinks that behavior should be tolerated and tries to nag or belittle the woman into believing the ...

Consistency is the cornerstone of personal growth, health, and spiritual maturity. For Christian women striving to live a life that honors God, it’s not just about making a one-time change but building a life of steady, faithful habits. Whether in our prayer life, health practices, or relationships, consistency rooted in God’s truth helps us stay on the path He has set for us. In this blog, we’ll explore the importance of consistency, how the Truth Mindset can help us build sustainable healthy habits, and how to rely on God’s strength when we feel like giving up.

1 Corinthians 9:24-25 - "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things."

 

This passage calls us to exercise self-discipline and consistency in pursuing godliness. Just as athletes train and practice regularly to win a race, we must be consistent in our spiritual walk, healthy habits, a...

In today’s world, the voices of culture are loud, conflicting, and often deceptive. Many Christian women are left feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and uncertain about who they are and what God truly wants for them. The pursuit of freedom and transformation feels just out of reach, no matter how many books are read, podcasts are played, or resolutions are made.

But real, lasting change does not begin with striving.
It begins with truth.

What is a Truth Mindset?

A Truth Mindset is a way of thinking that is rooted, anchored, and consistently renewed by the Word of God. It means intentionally replacing lies, limiting beliefs, and cultural confusion with the unchanging truth of Scripture. It is the decision to let God’s voice become the loudest voice in your life.

When your mind is aligned with God’s truth, your life begins to reflect that truth — in your emotions, choices, relationships, and purpose.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
— John 8:32, KJV
