My life can be
drastically differentiated as before and after personal development. I came
into this personal development world a few years back. Before I started my
journey into this world of possibilities and self-love, I was depressed. I did
not have any solid reason to be depressed, but I always felt not enough and not
deserving.
I can't imagine how
hard I was on myself before learning all these awesome stuff about self-care
and self-love. That is why I always tell people to love themselves first and
then share the love with whoever they want. Back then, I really yearned for
acceptance. I want people to love me. I would give so much of my energy and
time to people who did not even deserve it. I was also body shamed a lot. I felt
insecure and scared. I hated myself so much. I was a miserable mess.
But, now it is
total upside down. No one loves me as much as I do. I have so many
possibilities around me. I am there for people wholeheartedly without
expecting anything in return. This time, I filled my cup first before pouring
it into anyone else's.
It is really
important for everyone to start with their personal development journey. It is
going to do magic in people's lives. I started my journey by reading. I
read and researched so many things about self-help. I realized I did not
deserve the miserable life. I learned a lot with enthusiasm and belief that I am
going to change my life. And then, I did. I changed my life and I am getting
better at it every single day.
In personal
development, there is no goal. You can't say you are completely developed even
after reading a thousand books and living the ideal life. Personal development
is a journey that needs to be savored every day. It is the best thing that
happened to me. Below are 5 tips that can help you to initiate your personal
development journey.
1. Start with one area of growth
Basically, personal
development is a very broad niche. You have self-love, spiritually, Health,
Wellness, Mental stability, growth, and so many deep topics. So, don't jump into
everything at once and struggle. Choose one niche under personal development where
you really want to develop and start your journey there.
In my case, it was
self-love. It was the one main thing that I lacked in my earlier days. I wanted
to be loved, so I started loving myself. I am not perfect, no one is. But, I
started embracing everything about myself. I accepted everything I hated in myself.
Even the darkest side of me is still me. I just can't explain how much happy I
turned after loving myself.
2. Get a mentor
It is important to
have someone by your side when you are starting this journey. That someone
might be a friend, relative, a book, an online mentor or a coach. Your journey
will become more effective if you have someone to show the way they walked and
teaches the things they learned.
There are so many
books out there. Every single book you read about self-help is effective. You
may feel that self-help books are repetitive. But, no. Even if the content is
repetitive, the perspective is different. You will get a chance to know the
perspective of every author you read. Also, in this era of social media, there
are so many online personal development mentors who give out so much content
for free. You can grasp so much information by just following them. There are
so many opportunities floating around, you just have to have the right eye to
grab that opportunity and make a fortune out of it.
3. Read and research more
The more you know
about a subject, the more your life changes around it. Read more of the books
that suit your goal. Please do not consider the power of books in a lighter
way. It can have a huge impact on your life. Choose what you want and focus
your entire energy on achieving it. Research about how a person went from zero
to a hero. Learn what strategies they used. Read every possible thing to hike
your level.
4. Implement what you learn
This is the most
important step. Most of the people who are in or want to be in personal
development only read and accumulate knowledge. Remember, knowledge and
information which is not put into use is waste. You may know everything but
your life will remain the same. So, you have to implement what you learn. Step by
step and slowly you will taste the growth.
5. Create your own mastermind
group
A mastermind group
is something which comprises of likeminded people who are interested in
personal development as you are. When you are accompanied by people with the
same mindset who always motivates you to do better, then you might achieve
success in a short span. This is the power of a mastermind group.
You can get so much
knowledge from someone else experience. You can learn from each other. Whenever you feel like you are missing the way, your mastermind group will come to save
you. There is nothing more powerful than a genuine connection between like-minded
individuals.
6. Share what you learn
It is also essential
that you share what you learn. When you share something you are in a state of
abundance which means the information you share will come back to you doubled.
Also, always develop a helping mindset. Seek people who need help and give it
to them. You might change someone's life, you will never know.
