Change

You’ve got to grab hold of your mind and think the thoughts that serve you and help you toward a positive mindset. Once you quiet your mind, you will think more clearly and calmly.

Personal development is all about dedicating yourself to a new you. This means leaving the old you, along with his or her problems, in the past and replacing them with a new perspective. This new perspective will allow you to view the same old situations in a new way, which will allow you to overcome what prevented you from opening up before.

Do your best to be honest in all circumstances. People will appreciate someone who is honest, and you will avoid a lot of trouble and stress if you do not try to fool anyone. Always be honest when it comes to money and your personal finances, your love life or your past experiences.

Exercising is a wonderful way to work on personal development. Not only will it make you look good, it will give you time to focus on improving yourself, and you will feel more confident as well as be able to work on patience. You won’t notice changes overnight, it is something that you have to stick with for the long haul.

In order to be a better you, you need to look your best every single day. If you take the time to make yourself look good you will have so much self confidence. You will truly be happy to be who you are and will never think bad of yourself again!

When it comes to helping yourself you need to try and digest all of the information you have just learned and see how you can apply it properly. The key to self help is to learn as much as you can and applying that information to the best of your ability, only then can you hope to help yourself.

New- Goals!

Like most, when you think back to the beginning of this year I bet you set yourself many New Year goals or resolutions. Maybe this was the year where you were finally going to lose weight and get fit, start your own business, get promotion at work, or possibly meet your dream partner. Well, with this year nearly coming to a close, how did you fare?
Did you action them and see them through? Did you achieve them relatively easily and so set more challenging goals for yourself? Or did you just bomb out and end up accomplishing nothing or very little of what you thought you could? If you’re in the latter then don’t beat yourself up. Recognizing these shortcomings is the first giant step toward creating positive change in your life. The problem with New Year goal setting is that we always make initial promises to ourselves that things will be different. We promise to ourselves that we’ll be more focused, disciplined, and  motivated toward accomplishing our goals, yet within a couple of months or even weeks we’re repeating the same behaviors that have brought us so much disappointment and failure in the previous years. The great Albert Einstein famously said “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
How can you create change in your life and accomplish more of your goals if you keep acting and behaving in the same way? Your results will change when you change.
If you really want to accomplish your New Year Goals you need to and must be willing to take a different and more effective approach. Throughout the year we all at some points set ourselves goals, big and small, so we don’t require the start of a New Year to pull out our goal-setting caps and writing pads. However a new calendar year does have the psychological effect of giving us more focus, motivation; and in some ways an opportunity of wiping the slate clean and giving us a fresh new start after our failings the previous year. This attitude is particularly prevalent with ‘serial goal-setting failures’, however goal accomplishing, high achieving individuals never look for fresh starts; they just build on their past successes, creating more and more momentum thereby achieving bigger and better results. So do you want to kick the habit of using the dawn of a New Year as a time to wiping the slate clean and starting afresh and instead set yourself new and exciting goals that will see you continually moving forward to experience greater results in your life? As I mentioned earlier, the reasons why so many of us fail in ever realizing the New Year goals we set is because we follow the same old approach in the form of our behaviors and actions. This New Year, let’s turn over a new leaf. Let’s start applying a new approach that will see you continually moving forward day after day, month after month, year after year towards the accomplishment of your most cherished goals.
