Why is investing in yourself is so powerful and important? I talk a lot about investing your money wisely because this is the basis of this blog. But we can expand this conversation to include other types of investing, too — like investing in yourself.
Think about it... The most priceless investment in your life is you. Unfortunately, most of us are too busy chasing after success until we forget to focus on ourselves – we end up treating ourselves as low-priority items. Yet investing in yourself is an important part of living a successful life.
Why is investing in yourself is so powerful and important?
Because it allows you to become the best version of yourself – spiritually, mentally, and financially. If you invest in yourself, great opportunities come to you and people are more likely to invest in you. It helps you to think and focus on what really matters to you which improve the quality of your life.
And the best thing? It doesn’t require much money! Unlike other investments, investing in your self is never a risk, because it always pays off. Even when you make bad investments it is not really a bad thing when you learn from it. Here’s a run-down of a few investments that you can make today to create a positive impact in your life.
INVEST IN YOURSELF
You are the only person you're going to be in a lifelong relationship with. What you feel about you, what you say about you, what you feed you, and how much you care for you will determine your overall success in life. Without loving yourself, you will keep trying to fill the lack that you feel by seeking outside approval. Instead, look for good in yourself because that will bring the best version of love to you. You can never go wrong investing in yourself with love and acceptance. Your profit is the gain in living the best life you can. If you are struggling with this, there’s no shame in getting help from a professional, and it can lead to some amazing changes in your life.

INVEST IN YOUR HEALTH
No matter how well your shares are going on the stock market or how many investment properties you might have, without good health these are worthless. Your health is one of your most valuable assets. If you are not healthy, you can not be completely happy, successful, or calm. Investing in your health will spare you a lot of money and future worries and will eventually enable you to enjoy the years of your retirement for longer. As cheesy as it sounds, small steps lead to great changes that are surely worth the effort. Eat well, exercise regularly, sleep enough and manage stress – with the right knowledge you will succeed and become a happier version of yourself, no doubt!

INVEST IN YOUR MIND
Health is not all about physical fitness only. It is also about your mental health. Your mind is your greatest asset. Like any asset, it needs to be taken care of and improved continually. Usually this is overlooked until problems arise. But many issues can be averted by checking in with how you think and what thoughts get your attention often even ruling your life. Pay particular attention to your negative automatic thoughts. Believing them unchecked is very tempting as they seem so true, valid and compelling. Don’t let that fool you – such thinking is toxic, drains your energy, darkens your mood and draws further negativity into your world. Cultivating a habit of gratitude is one of the easiest, yet immensely powerful, ways of investing in your mental health.
INVEST IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
Strong relationships are not only correlated with happiness, but with physical health, longevity, and financial success, too. Healthy relationships should allow both people in the relationship to feel supported and connected, but also allow each person to maintain their independence. Communication and setting boundaries are two important components of a healthy relationship. Identify people who can add value to your life and link up with them. Remember, when it comes to creating great relationships, you are better off establishing connections long before you need them. As such, even if your life seems perfect right now, keep working on building those connections – and never ever underestimate the value of having a good friend in life.
INVEST IN YOUR FINANCES
If you want choices, freedom, and the ability to make a greater contribution, you need to invest in your financial results. Money isn’t everything, but it isn’t nothing either. It may not be most important, and you wouldn’t want to trade for anything above, but it’s worth investing in gaining enough—and then more than enough. After all, you can’t really do much with your life if you are bogged down by debt and bills. Finding the right balance to paying your bills and invest the rest. And be careful with how you spend your money and avoid purchases that won’t really be worthwhile.
In Summary
You are the most important thing that ever happened in your life. There is much to be learned from paying attention to yourself. Everything you do, every choice you’ve made or will make, is important, because you are important. There is no narcissism or grandiosity in this. It’s about putting yourself in the mindset that your actions count, that your decisions have implications, and that you have chosen yourself and put your faith in your own ability to succeed. When you’re willing to say yes, and take that leap of faith and invest in yourself, life will provide you with amazing rewards.
