Your personality changes many times during your life.Although you may not notice it happening, as you grow older behaviors become ingrained. The key to improving your personality is changing behaviors to reinforce good personality traits and limit negative personality traits. Grab your pen and paper and get ready to be introspective.

Part 1 Identifying Traits

1.Sit down and list your positive personality traits. Try to number them in order of how confident you are that you possess these traits. For example, traits include good listener, outgoing, expressive, introspective, thoughtful or intelligent.

2.List your negative personality traits. These are the things that people tend to respond to, or things you think stand in your way. For example, shy, angry, talkative, judgmental or nervous.

• Keep in mind that positive and negative are subjective in this scenario. Someone might think they are too outgoing or that being talkative is a positive thing. Personality changes should be based on your opinions and desires for self-improvement.
• It is most likely harder to make this list than your first list. Take your time and consider how your personality when you're with others or when you're alone, since these may be the main things you want to change.

3.Put a line through anything you don’t want to change, at least not right now. You can’t instantly change everything about your personality.

4.Put a star by anything you want to enhance or change. Perhaps you are intelligent, but you would like to become even smarter.

5.Prioritize the starred items. Changing behaviors is best done slowly, changing a single personality trait at a time through practice and commitment.
