4 SELF DEVELOPMENT SECRETS YOU NEVER KNEW

By

 Cracking the Self Development Code.




Whatever you think is going to be different about tomorrow doesn't exist. If you don't do what you need to do today, you're just postponing doing that exact same thing tomorrow. All that matters is today.

What does improving yourself mean? The definition is pretty self explanatory. Self improvement is the improvement of one's knowledge, status, or character by one's own efforts. It's the quest to  make ourselves better in any and every facet of life.

Whether it's addressing knowledge gaps, health and well being, enhancing existing skills and altering your work life balance or even learning something completely new, adopting a growth mindset is imperative to developing your own self.

Here are 4 tips that I think really work. Well the list could be long.

#1. Develop your interests

Spending time on activities you enjoy or are good at does more than just make you feel good. It empowers you with a sense of freedom to express your emotions and motivates you to keep working on building your skills. 
You should be careful and not push yourself too hard when pursuing your goals though, or you might lose interest in them.

#2. Go at your own pace

What does this phrase say to you or mean? Most people especially young people you will find them going at the pace that is not their own. Most of them try to do what works for others not realizing that each one of us is capable in their own unique way. This is similar in a way to the previous point where you should develop your own interests. Not a friends! You shouldn't pressurize yourself to achieve something in too short a timeframe. We often overcommit, so if you can't reach your goal in the time you have allowed, be kind to yourself and relax the deadline. If your goal is marathon- like, you might not achieve it all in one go but each step you take will be a step nearer the finish line.



#3. Set your own Rules and follow them

This is without a doubt one of the hardest things for people to do for themselves. Following your dreams and demanding that you find time everyday to work on something that interests you is hard work. Really hard work. And as much as people like to believe that they can just do it tomorrow or that it will happen one day, the truth is, it won't! It will only happen unless you put your nose to the grindstone and make it happen. To this, and to ensure that you get that hour or two to yourself each day, and to keep yourself in the best mental place possible so that you make full use of that time, you need your own set of rules. And then you need to follow them.

#4. Develop a growth mindset

The way you perceive your successes and failures can affect your well-being, which is why it's important to develop a growth mindset. This is the belief that you're capable of improving. One of the ways you can strengthen this mindset is by overcoming challenges. This isn't always easy, but can be made easier if you anticipate these challenges as you set your goals and think of ways to overcome them ahead of time. Besides you should also be ready to adjust your plan when an unexpected challenges arise. Another key to having a growth mindset is being able to ask for help when you need it. Lastly acknowledging your accomplishments can help strengthen your growth mindset and even the smallest achievements deserve a pat on the back.

It is my hope that you have learned from the few highlighted main points of self development. 

There is more to self development than the points highlighted. You could reach out to a self development coach to learn more on self development here.
