in #psychology8 years ago (edited)


You will receive the answer to the question where to start self-development, by reading this article. Here I will share with you the technique classes, which will take you only 40 minutes a day. These classes are your answer to the question about how to start development right now! No lifestyle changes at the moment, you do not need, just 40 minutes of practice daily! Almost immediately you will feel the relaxation, improved well-being and that do not require extensive training. But more on that later, first let me start with a Preface.

Printing this article, I feel a huge responsibility. Because realize what a sensitive, caring attitude requires the person at the time of the search starting point from which to begin self-development.

That is why I will try to give the most intelligible and most suitable answer to the main question of this article. But not every response can be successful, how exactly it did not reflect the main stages of self-development, there is always the danger that this answer is able to scare you, force to give up at precisely the moment that may be the most important moment in your life when you will follow the path of self-improvement or will continue to live the same life. A little explain it below.

Many information sources, trying to answer the question "how to start a self-development?", unleashes on the reader a bunch of tips. These tips can not be called harmful or wrong. They are simply late. So how do you propose we start making drastic changes in lifestyle, habits, daily routines, social relationships, etc. in General, to radically revise the existing, familiar things.

Similar advice that calls for drastic, rapid change, suggest tremendous willpower, and also energy of the person to whom they are addressed. After all, not everyone is able to part with their favorite habits, quit drinking and Smoking, join the gym, start to organize a free and working time, stop aimless, unproductive wandering around the Internet and puzzled by reading books or other sources that contribute to self-development, together with the total knowledge.

People get used to their way of life, for this reason not able to wave a magic wand to rebuild it and start to change for the better. Moreover, such a radical shift to new habits and routines, requires such things as willpower, character, determination, focus on objectives, ability to make decisions, to bear responsibility for them. But these things are components of personality develop as you progress through the stages of self-development.

But if someone asks "how to begin self-development", concludes that this "someone" is still only at the beginnings of this journey and therefore some of the above qualities does not possess.

It turns out that in the service of a good cause was the wrong approach. My goal is the harmonious self-perfection, which I understand as a balanced development of intellectual, physical, aesthetic, social and spiritual qualities. We are not going to rush anywhere. I do not offer any quick solutions but aims to progressively gradual formation of you as an individual.

So I'm not going to expect any rapid changes, and prompts you to start small. With such a "small" that will not be the challenge your usual way of life, does not take a lot of time and effort(you will need only 40 minutes of time per day). But later, with regular practice, will bring a lot of life advantages. And then, gradually, when the time comes you will begin to make changes in your life, in your nature, in your surroundings.

You will have time to decide what you really want, what qualities to develop, what to emphasize and where to move, but still need some help, a foothold. You can begin with the formation of this "base" already today, without postponing for the future, because it does not require special training or special skills.

So I made a plan of self-development. With him I suggest you start. At the first step of this program of self-improvement I suggest, as a practice, meditate, do not let that bother.

Meditation
Do not rush to leave the page in the belief that it will not fit. In this article I want to correct a misconception that might arise about meditation. Because of this concept emanates something ancient, Eastern, something related to religion, spiritual quest. It may seem unattainable, therefore, available only for the elite and dedicated.

If you type "meditation" into the search engines, you will find a bunch of articles that describe all sorts of things astral, chakra, energy, etc. Such texts will only strengthen you in the erroneous view of meditation as something sacred, unattainable.

Although in reality, meditation is great, accessible to everyone, a practice successfully used by many people in everyday life. Meditation promotes quality relaxation, enhance ability to concentrate, will control the emotions of fear, getting rid of bad habits.

These qualities are developed in many subjects in the framework of scientific experiments, when people were asked to engage in regular meditation and lead a "diary". The examination of brain activity during and after meditation, it was observed the predominance of alpha rhythms (a rhythm in which consciousness is in a state of optimal activity, it is not moving in the beta state, which is characterized by excessive activity, peculiar stress). Read more in my article What is meditation?

Let me stress again that these Eastern practices are successfully reflected in Western culture, proving its effectiveness in the framework of the exercises of relaxation, mind control and neutralize the mental States of discomfort, maintenance of discipline, moving from the realm of esoteric knowledge in the realm of scientific knowledge. Meditation is an effective tool in the service of self-development!

But there must be a clear understanding that this practice is not an end in itself, as well as for the runner is not the ultimate goal the development of leg muscles, it's just a tool to achieve the desired result: for the runner is winning the race, but for you — a harmonious and balanced self-development. You meditate not to ideally, learn the technique of meditation(although her master would be quite good, even necessary), but in order to make it easier to grow and develop as a person.

Probably, personal growth is possible without meditation, but since I rely on their own experience, I say that helped me. I know of no other way. For me meditation was the impetus for moving forward and the beginning of self-development. Finally, in a long prelude followed by a specific and clear answer to the question of how to start self-development: "start meditating."

First, as I already wrote, it will not take more than 40 minutes a day, it does not require any special conditions(not necessarily to drop everything to collect belongings and to go to Tibet :-)). You can even do it in public transport on the way to work/school. Although it is desirable to do this in a relaxed atmosphere. But if it is not possible, even subway).

Meditation is difficult?
Don't need to have a high level of training in order to start practicing meditation! The technique you will master as you practice, it will come with time. Also you do not have to immediately change your habits, just to add to your daily routine meditation morning and evening. The main condition to do it regularly, not to forget and not score, only then you will feel the benefits.

The effect is all different. I have six months. Do not be afraid of such a period: immediate result will not be!. This you must firmly understand and come to terms with this idea. In my opinion instant results is a myth, a phantom. All important, fundamental personality changes are long and gradual) so where to start?

Meditation is your practice that will provide you with the necessary skills for self-development, this is a fundamental exercise that we should start working on first. It is also necessary, as a beginner gymnast to begin to do some stretches before moving on to everything else.

For starters, check out theory in the first step of self-development, and then you can begin the practice. Remember, you are in no hurry, no need to have time to read all this in the shortest possible time. If you are too lazy to study all these theoretical materials, then start immediately to practice, but at least read the findings in the first step.

In conclusion, I would like to note that even though the main long-term effect of meditation is not immediately, but some positive changes you will feel almost immediately after the start of practice. This is because you will regularly just to relax and get my thoughts in order (this applies to instant effects), which is good. Besides, you enter into your routine of obligatory exercise, which will engage in daily strictly two times a day for 20 minutes per session, it is already making some minimal additional in order in your life(no matter what you do every day is not important meditation is, charging or daily jog). This teaches you to keep a lot of money,to maintain discipline, which is one of the most significant stages of self-development.

I hope you are ready to proceed. I wish you good luck!
