If you are reading this, it is assumed that you are interested in personally developing yourself further in life. Yet, you might not have a specific goal in mind that you want to manifest. It could just be that you are relatively content with life but want just a little more. Keep reading for some personal development habits that you can follow to improve yourself without being tied to a specific result.
Talk a twenty minute walk. Even if you do not feel bad, but just mentally convoluted, a brisk walk can clear your mind and give you fresh perspective on everything. You might see opportunities that are open to you that you have been missing, or just find a new appreciation for the things that you currently have.
Take an artist's date once a week. You likely spend nearly all of your time with other people. Even when they are family, friends and people you like, you are still on edge and alert because others are around. This drains you mentally and spiritually more than you ever might realize. Write down a list of things that you would like to do, from a movie you want to catch to a museum you could visit. Go out and do one a week to reconnect to yourself.
Write down your dreams. Be completely honest and do not hold anything back. It does not matter how silly or unrealistic your inner-most desires are, write them down. As your pen is in your hand, you might be tempted to write down that you want to be a shooting guard in a professional basketball league, but your mind is saying that cannot be done at your age. Write it down anyway. You just might give yourself permission to join the league at church or start a pickup team at work. Just give yourself a taste of your dreams.
In addition to the baby steps you can incrementally take that are already listed, do not be afraid to just state a big goal, like running a marathon. Give yourself a year to get ready for it and start a training schedule. As you pursue it, you might just find a new passion and zeal for life. Or, you might find that you hate it but have the clarity for what you really do want to achieve.
One way to keep your negative thoughts at bay is by thinking more about positive things. If there is something about yourself that you do not like, do not dwell on it. Look at all the things that you can do, and be amazed at your many talents. Focusing on the positive will replenish your mental energy.
For motivation, consider getting some books on self-help issues. These are usually written by psychiatrists who have seen many different types of personalities, and who can recommend a effective way for you to start improving yourself. Methods are usually laid out step by step, so finding a approach that works for you can make a big difference in your life.
