Daily Journaling
One thing you may find in common with many great successful people throughout history was that they were avid writer. Keeping a daily journal is a great way to clarify your thoughts and develop a sense of self-awareness that will help you reinvent yourself on a moment’s notice and develop unshakable self-confidence.
Meditation
Probably one of the most important of these simple self-improvement tips and most commonly neglected is meditation. I feel this is an important tip, to help deal with the hectic lives of today. It is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress and clear the “junk thoughts” which can lead to worry and anxiety. Meditating daily can help slow your heart rate and regulate your digestion among dozens of other health benefits and as I have a said is an important self development skill.
Expecting to Win
Typically those that achieve great things and are successful in life aren’t necessarily anymore intelligent or capable than the average person. In fact they can do what many considered intelligent people have a hard time doing: that is, they expect to win. Even before they know how they are going to do it
You see, it doesn’t require knowledge of how those expectations can become reality, rather they start from a foundation of bold expectancy and hence the rest is just a matter of persevering.
Writing Goals and Plans of Actions
If you want to accomplish anything, it is necessary to get into the habit of writing down clear and specific goals and plans of action. For instance you may be asking “what I want to become life”. The act of writing your goals, clarifies them and the expectation of fulfilling them begins to build in your mind. As well having written plans gives you specific tasks and actions to take each day towards the realization of your long-term goal.
Be Well Rounded
An important tip for personal development is to be holistic in nature. Either directly or indirectly, every area of your life affects every other area. For instance your relationships can affect your health and financial life. In turn if your health is out of order it can stump your personal growth and finding the energy to achieve any goals may become difficult. So the key to achieving your goals is in becoming well rounded in all areas. This will help you build physical stamina, emotional fortitude, financial security and the social support system needed in order to achieve great things.
Positive Affirmations
You have heard of the power of positive thinking and may be wondering does positive thinking work? It is true that using positive affirmations is a powerful tool to help change your inner dialogue and can literally change your personality, your character, your actions and your. Write positive affirmations for each of the key areas of your life (health, relationships, finances and career) then make a commitment to rehearse them aloud a couple times a day.
Teach to Learn
This can be considered the most important personal development exercises. The more you teach the principles of personal growth to others, the clearer your understanding becomes of them making them more effective in your own life. If you have no one to teach, try writing about the principles of personal development and how they are helping you.
