Self Development

Self-development can simply be defined as a deliberate effort of improving the different aspects of your life. It is trying everything you can to achieve positive abstract growth (growth that is not physical, something not directly visible to the eyes). You only achieve this when consciously trying to improve your knowledge, skills, talents, and competence. However, the main component to self-development is the growth of one's self. When you discover who you are, and you desire to express yourself, it is only natural to seek self-development.  

You should know that self-development and personal growth are more of a lifetime project rather than a short-term goal. They help you harness your abilities, leverage them and also use them as a blueprint to set goals and fully maximize your potential. Self-development aims to achieve self-fulfillment. You enjoy self-fulfillment when you can discover yourself leverage your potential and influence others. 




Process Of Self Development

Before you even initiate any specific technique or activity to bring about self-development, the process is already on the move. The first step to self-development is discovering who you are. When you have discovered who you are, then you'd be able to identify your skills, competence, and talent. When you have identified these, you will know the exact method or technique to employ which will aid your self-development. That way you can have a mental picture of who and what you want to be, and beyond having a mental picture, this can become a reality if the right tools and techniques are employed.

Factors That Can Help You Achieve Self Development:

These three things have been identified as important factors which can influence self-development. These are not the only factors but these three are very significant.

Improve Your Skills

Improving your skills deals with developing your abilities and competence. This involves personal and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Personal effectiveness skills are for you alone it doesn't depend on anyone. It is something that only you are required to deal with. Like solving personal problems, setting personal goals, you do it yourself no one else can do it for you. Interpersonal skills depend on others as they emphasize your interactions and relationship with others. How well do you work with others, how well can you communicate with them, these are all part of your interpersonal effectiveness skills. 



Stabilize Mental Condition

Whatever you do, your mental condition is very important. Stabilizing your metal condition involves mind-building and strengthening. When you have a stable mind, it helps you maintain a level of positivity you can't attain with a clumsy mind. You can stay focused on your goals, it allows your imaginations to run without limits. You get to build a positive "EGO" ( which encompasses your self-image, self-esteem, and self-identity). 

Create a Habit

To create a habit is simply to employ the right activities and techniques which will influence your thought pattern and behavior in a bid to improve yourself. Habits are activities that have become a default with you, you don't need to be conscious or think too much before you do them they are automatic. Habits are what influence your thought, decisions, and then your actions and reactions. When you create a positive habit it helps you a bit to achieve self-development and makes your life more productive.

What are you feeding on?

In life, growth is very important, and to grow the body needs some basic nutrient. The kind of nutrition or malnutrition the body undergoes will determine the kind of growth you will have. For many reasons people decide on different diet plans, keto, vegan, paleo, gluten-free diet just to name a few. These diets work the wonders they are designed to work. In the same way, whatever we ingest will determine what our output will be. Most times we are the product of what we take in. like someone on a diet who is cautious about their weight and eager to maintain a good shape, the result you will produce depends on what you feed on. As you are already guessing I'm not talking about the literal food we eat. What are you listening to? What kind of books do you read? What movies, TV shows, and series are you watching? Are they adding value to you or taking value away from you? Pause! Ask yourself this question again and answer sincerely, what are you feeding on? What you consistently feed o...

Rethink your circle

Who are those in your circle? What type of friends do you keep?  There's a saying that goes thus "the average of 5 people you walk with sums up your life" we could agree to disagree on this, your choice! but it still remains true. Interestingly sometimes you have a little setback or challenge and you are scared to share with your friends!! does that even make sense?  You be thinking in your head, If I tell them they will laugh and make jest of me  and they will not even take it serious no matter what.  What kind of a circle is that? Friends who can't relate with your situation, who can't understand and sympathize with you in whatever situation you are in, they are not friends at all, they don't merit that title.   You need to redefine what friendship is. There are people you talk to they don't necessarily have to be your friends. And then you have the true people who actually care who you can call friends. Most times you get it all wrong assuming because y...
