Personal development... Why is it so hard?

Personal development may sound nice, but there’s a lot of pain that comes with it. Now don’t be discouraged, this post is to encourage and help you stay on track with your growth.

One huge mistake I used to make when I first started my journey was that I was completely impatient with myself. I would watch a video or read an article about a personality trait I was working on for example. I would go on with my day almost forcing an instant change in myself and I would actully do the comple opposite of my intentions. I was doing it wrong.

Through trial and error, I realized that I have to be patient and be aware of my actions. For example, if you’re trying not to cuss and you do, don’t bash yourself for it. Instead, remind yourself in your head that you’re not trying to cuss anymore. What you are doing is rewiring your brain, which doesn’t take one day so be proud of yourself for becoming aware in the first place.

As you practice more, you will eventually be in control of what you say before you say it. And you might think that you do but think about all the times you’ve said some foolish things... we’ve all done it.

Thank you so much for the read, I hope you liked it!
