Hey Alex, you mentioned in your video “how self improvement can ruin your life (5 traps to avoid)” that the deep inner work is important so that your house of cards is built on a stable foundation. You mentioned self esteem, getting over past traumas, etc. What are some practical practices and exercises I can start doing right now to implement these things in order to make sure I build my self-esteem, get over past traumas and built my foundation on a stable level?

Well, there’s multiple directions to go in. Meditation is always good. Reading self development books and autobiographies of successful people. Getting coaching from whatever field you’re trying to excel in. And of course therapy if you get a really good therapy. I personally did hypnotherapy and it was very helpful.

Thank you Alex I really appreciate it. I also have one more question: the part that bothers me is becoming a self improvement robot. How do you balance out self-improvement with hobbies and interests in a such a way that I excel at them all including the hobbies. Also should you play video games and watch TV or should those things be given up entirely?
