Self development is simply undertaking techniques to help you unlock your potential – to be the best that you can be. You learn to stop letting negative thoughts and emotions hold you back in your life and you become free to live a life where you can do things that you never thought possible.
The Goal of Self Development
The goal of self development is to help free you from cycles or limiting beliefs that may be holding you back in life. Perhaps you think that you can never be fit or healthy, so you don't bother to exercise or think healthily. Previous experiences may colour and affect your relationships. Perhaps you simply “settle” for what you can get instead of what you deserve. Self development techniques aim to replace these negative thoughts and behaviours with more positive thoughts. These positive thoughts then allow you to look at your life more objectively and make changes in order to become happier, and more fulfilled.
Self Development Techniques
There are many self development techniques that can help you to achieve your goals. Some of these include:
- Emotional Freedom Technique
- Time Line Therapy®
- Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)
- Life Coaching
- Meditation
- Counselling
- Psychotherapy
- Energy Healing
- Spiritual Healing
When choosing a technique, it is important that you find one that is comfortable for you. You need to feel comfortable and safe with your therapist, so that you can let go of negativity in a controlled, stable environment.
