7 Steps You Can Take to Become a Better Man in Just One Month

How to Follow This Guide

There are seven key aspects of becoming a better man, under which most better man-tips fall under. The idea here is to apply the first tip on for the first week and two tips per week for the remaining three weeks of the month.

After one month, you can continue practicing these tips to reinforce the changes you made.

Week #1

1. Live with Integrity

Integrity may be defined as, among other things as:

  • Being honest
  • Being morally upright
  • Having strong moral convictions and principles
  • Being in a state of wholeness or consistency (action and words)

Simply put, living with integrity means not lying, not cheating, and keeping your word. As a person of integrity, you:

  • Tell the truth
  • Live according to your convictions and don’t give in to social pressures to do otherwise
  • Don’t backbite. Instead, you go straight to the people involved to fix any problems or conflicts
  • You don’t run away from responsibilities, especially from your failures and shortcomings

There’s a reason why you need to work on integrity first and focus on it alone in your 30-day quest to becoming a better man — pretty much everything you have to do rests on it.

Week #2

2. Just Say “No”

Part of being a man is avoiding to get pressured into doing things you don’t want to do.

Don’t let society dictate what you’re supposed to do and avoid losing yourself just to fit in. Set boundaries, and once somebody crosses the lines you’ve set, stand up for yourself.

If you want to become a better man, you must learn how to say “no” to some people. Instead, you must start treating your “yeses” like gold bars — make sure they’re not wasted on low-value activities.

A wise and successful man once wrote that the most successful people say “no” to many things in life. This allows them to focus well only on the most important and valuable things and goals in their lives that’ll help them become successful.

This week, become a better man by saying “no” more often. Make “no” your default and let the burden of earning your “yes” fall on those who are seeking it.

3. Own Your Space

One of the primary characteristics of alpha males is their ability to lead people or even intimidate them without trying. One of the ways they subtly establish their authority among a group is by owning their space.

Owning your space doesn’t mean you bump people off their seats just so you can sit on their chair. It also doesn’t mean trying to intimidate and control people to do your bidding.

It simply means working your personal space in ways that exude confidence and control. You can do this in several ways, such as:

  • Standing tall and not crouching
  • Keeping your shoulders back and chest out
  • Slow but deep breathing
  • Speaking slowly, with clear diction and a loud voice
  • Looking at people in the eye as you talk to them

These body language gestures are subtle but powerful means to become a better man by communicating to others that you’re in control. When they get the message, chances are they’ll follow you.

4. Help the Weak or Less-Fortunate

A strong man isn’t just strong for himself. He’s strong so he can lend his strength to those who have little or none of it, too.

Being a better man means helping other people, especially those who really need it. This doesn’t mean doing something really major immediately, such as starting a non-profit, but in your own way, go out and help someone.

Give a homeless woman a nice hot meal, help an elderly man cross a busy street, or volunteer at a non-profit in your town.

Again, you don’t need to save the world or somebody’s life right off the bat. Start helping others in one small way or another regularly to become a better man.

5. Serve and Protect Your Loved Ones

A real man is one who goes all out to serve and protect his loved ones, such as family and friends. Fortunately, doing this doesn’t mean you’ll have to be a soldier, cop, or a martyr, and put your life at risk.

Use your skills, strengths, energy, and resources to serve and protect your loved ones, especially your family.

Among other things, you can serve your loved ones by:

  • Offering to do the school run, if your job gives you time to do it
  • Driving your wife or partner to and from her work
  • Visiting your elderly parents on the weekends and doing household chores for them
  • Visiting your pal who’s confined in the hospital
  • Cooking weekend lunches and dinners for your family and friends

You can protect them, too, without turning to violence, by doing these:

  • Speaking well of your wife, kids, parents, or closest friends in their defense when someone has a very critical comment about them, especially on social media
  • Refusing to bail out on your promise to your partner and kids to go out of town this weekend because a client wants you to report to his or her office on the same day
  • Volunteering to drive your elderly parents to the grocery during very stormy weather, which can be dangerous for them

6. Give More Than What You Take from the World

A real man is one who knows and believes it’s not all about him. He has purposes and dreams bigger than him, his material possessions, career success, and even his family.

In line with this, a real man is one who never takes people and things for granted. His gratitude for the people who helped him become who he is now can be shown by giving back.

When you serve other people, you’ll get opportunities to fulfill two of your needs as a man. These are the needs to build and create something with your life.

Do you know what your life purpose is? Knowing and living it can give you opportunities to experience the joy and satisfaction of giving back to society.

When you know what your purpose is and live it, you get to give back more than what you take from the world.

7. Acknowledge and Express Your Sexuality Without Shame

Finally, a real man is a confident man, and his confidence encompasses all areas of his life. This includes his sexuality.

To become a much better man, you must be comfortable expressing your sexuality. This doesn’t mean wanton, crude and perverse expressions, of course.

A real man is a class act when it comes to expressing his sexuality. Here are some examples of ways to express your sexuality:

  • Confidently expressing your attraction to a woman you may have just met, even if you don’t know whether she’ll respond favorably
  • If you’re married, not being shy or afraid to express your sexual desire to your wife and to try new things in bed — in respectful and loving ways of course

There’s always a chance you’ll be rejected, and you might upset some people. But, by confidently and respectfully sticking to your guns, you can win their respect even if you don’t have their approval.

And more importantly, acknowledging and expressing your sexuality will help you fulfill your sexual needs in healthy ways. By suppressing it, your chances of becoming what you despise – a pervert – can become higher.

You don’t need rocket science and a lot of time to become a much better man than you are now. It can take years to perfect these tips, but taking baby steps is the first step.

Just focus on practicing these seven tips for the next 30 days and see how different your life can become.

Remember, the path to becoming a better man extends to months, even years, beyond these thirty days because this is a never-ending journey. You always have room to become a better man.
