Generally, the idea is if you tell people you're "plans" of improvement, growth, change, or whatever. Is that it will create a dopamine hit that will decrease your drive to take action. Or people who mock or tear down your idea, therefore destroying your motivation. The third issue is that if you actively tell people about your progress or things you're doing, it essentially shows your "motivation" is the need for outside validation of others. Or, as you said, you're developing an ego focused on feeling good about yourself by bringing others down (a superiority complex). Both of which defeat the purpose of self-improvement. Because one is about making yourself a better person mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Second, it's about realizing you don't need extrinsic motivation to change, grow, and improve. Sure, we all appreciate adulation from others and a bit of vanity from an Instgram post. We're human (Plus, person trainers, athletes, and models literally are selling their bodies as part of their business plan at least on the physical aspect of improvement). But, if you only feel good about your progress in any area of improvement when you can showoff . . . You clearly have some unbalance in your life and may need to seek professional help to understand why.
he is speaking facts 🤞
