Getting Started With Personal Development

To get started with personal development you need to know two things. First is where are you starting from and second where are you going? The first step to getting started with your personal development journey is to take inventory of your life up to this point. Ask yourself soul searching questions and answer yourself honestly. It may help to get someone you trust involved as they may be able to tell you things about you that you don't see. Some good questions to ask yourself are: How am I doing health wise? Am I over weight? Do I eat a healthy diet? Do I exercise enough? How do I spend my free time? Do I watch too much TV? Do I spend enough quality time with my family and friends? Do I challenge my brain by reading and studying subjects that put me out side of my comfort zone? Have I achieved the goals and dreams of my youth? The preceding questions are just a few of many that need to be answered before you can decide where you want to go. Take some time over the next few days to go over these and any questions you can come up with. Write the answers to these questions down. This is the beginning of your self development plan. On the next post we will go over the second part which is where are you going?

Personal Development Journey Plan

  Hi, My name is Mark and I have started this blog to share my passion for personal development with others. I have also started it to help keep myself inspired as I continue to learn and grow. I can not stand hypocrisy so I figure if I share my knowledge of what is possible using personal development techniques with others it will keep me honest as well.
  Personal development is mainly just common sense approaches to life. Although common sense seems to have taken a back seat in many of our lives. Common sense tells us not to smoke but many still do, it also tells us to exercise and not overeat but somehow we continue to ignore it until the consequences are dire. But once we are put in the negative situations because of our poor decisions most people instantly start to better themselves they stop smoking, start exercising and eat healthier. Unfortunately for many they start too late. My sincere hope is that through this blog we can all learn new ways to improve our lives starting now! I welcome your feedback both good and bad.
