Self-Improvement, Personal Development or Self Help, there are
many phrases
used for personal growth and when many
hear them, they groan with despair, as
there's often a stigma attached to them that it's an
industry out for nothing but
money and that what's taught is abstract and inapplicable in
everyday life, with
pseudo-science backing up the practices. However, if you're here and you want to
understand how you can benefit from learning more about the process, then in this
video I intend to explain some of the reasons why
self-improvement
Go Past Your Comfort Zone - Most
people live life within themselves,
when young they're often young and ambitious with huge dreams
but through the
experience they realize that life
isn't easy and do what they feel they're capable of
- While there's a sense of
security in doing this, it doesn't do anything to help you
Grow as an individual and often
what you find is people live out their lives in
misery, feeling a sense of
disappointment in where they are or seeking comfort and
pleasure in other activities.
- Part of personal development is
to push past what's comfortable and really test
yourself and your capabilities,
seeking a true sense of growth and progression
- Both of these points being a
fundamental part of feeling happy, because things
and achievements don't give long
term satisfaction, it's the sense of making
progress and growing Overcome
Weaknesses - Many of us feel insecurities and
have issues with self-perception
about our weaknesses, which is something that's
directly addressed when you aim
to grow.
- It's not a case that you have to become a
foremost expert in a field that you feel
is a weak one for you, but rather
that you grow to feel a level of competency and
acceptance in these areas.
- This is fundamental in
accepting ourselves and not feeling a sense of shame, from
Which you'll develop confidence,
grow stronger as an individual and feel happier
about yourself.
- It's from developing our
self-awareness and understanding that we can then push
on to really focus on areas of
our lives where we excel and can really help people
Develop Strengths - Part of the
point of self-improvement is to understand about
yourself, understand what you
excel in a develop these areas of your
life by developing techniques to
help you progress in them.
- When you understand what you want and why you should pursue
it, it's important
to double down and really grow in
this aspect of your life to help you achieve
growth.
- ...and this is where personal
development is of value because the point isn't
teaching you a specific skill,
but it's about teaching you core skills that will help
you accelerate your growth in
that field - This might be teaching you ways to learn
faster, to improve memory, to
develop growth or problem-solving mindset or to do
practices.
Increase Self Awareness - I think the best way to explain this
is to reiterate
something I've learned from
Dandapani, which is asking the question of how often
do you spend time with yourself -
The thing is, we spend a huge amount of
time in our lives doing things, giving time to others and their
problems, and
focusing
on events external to us - However, what people don't do enough
is to spend time
with themselves, dedicating time
to check in with themselves and really
going deep internally to
understand if their life is in alignment with what they
want, where they hope to go and
what they want to do - This is a critical element of
personal development, a process
to help develop self-awareness and understanding
to ensure you live life in
accordance.
Have Self Love - Self Improvement
means a process of developing
acceptance and love for yourself, who you are, and what you can
offer in your life
to the world - This compassion
for ourselves is fundamental to giving the best of
yourself to others, because if
you don't accept yourself for who you are, then how
is it possible for you to give
true value to others?
- It's a bit like the emergency
procedure on planes whereby you're always told to put
on your mask before you tend to others, which is done to ensure
you're in a fit state
to care for others - The same
occurs in life in general, if you care for yourself first,
you put yourself in the best
place to care for the needs of.
So, with this in mind, focus on
self-improvement, as doing so will allow you to
give the best as you're here, I
presume you have an interest in self-improvement,
but why got you interested.
