Personally, working on myself is a day-to-day thing. Even when I’m doing well I am still working on myself. Each day I focus on how I can do better than the previous day. I don’t really feel that there’s a concrete end goal in working on myself because I can always be better and I can always do better. One of my larger goals is to get back to college and to achieve this there are things I need to do every day.

I don’t know how long it has been since your last relationship, but perhaps you could try to focus on who you are without a significant other. It can be easy to define yourself by who you’re in a relationship, but it’s so important to know who you are outside of that. I’m mentioning this because it could be one way that you can “start from scratch.”

Finding a mental health group near you may be helpful, but there are some other things you can do on your own if that's not something you’re interested in with just finishing therapy not too long ago. One thing I know a lot of people work on is being more open-minded - myself included. There are just so many ways you can work on yourself and they don’t necessarily need to be big things. I find there are always small things to work on and they’re important, too. Some smaller things might be trying to read more, improve your sleep schedule, or do more self-care.

In my opinion, most goals in life require working on yourself. One of your larger goals might be to graduate college, so how can you work on yourself each day to make that happen? If that's a goal then you need to have decent grades to do that and ever better grades if you plan to get a higher degree, so how are you going to work on yourself to get those grades? You could work on taking better notes, studying more, or try to pay attention more in any in person classes. Those are some day-to-day things to work on.

There are always things that we can do to improve ourselves.
