GUIDE TO PERSONAL IMPROVEMENT THAT WOULD MAKE YOU LIVE A HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER LIFE


What is Personal Development?
Personal development is a lifelong process. It’s a way for people to assess their skills and qualities, consider their aims in life and set goals in order to realize and maximize their potential.
This page helps you to identify the skills you need to set life goals which can enhance your employ-ability prospects, raise your confidence and lead to a more fulfilling, higher quality life.  Plan to make relevant, positive and effective life choices and decisions for your future to enable personal empowerment.
Although early life development and early formative experiences within the family, at school, etc. can help to shape us as adults, personal development should not stop later in life. 
This page contains information and advice that is designed to help you to think about your personal development and ways in which you can work towards goals and your full potential.


A Theory of Personal Development

There are many ideas surrounding personal development, one of which is detailed below - Abraham Maslow's process of Self Actualization.

Self Actualization

Maslow (1970) suggests that all individuals have an in-built need for personal development which occurs through the process called self-actualisation.
The extent to which people are able to develop depends on certain needs being met and these needs form a hierarchy.  Only when one level of need is satisfied can a higher one be developed.  As change occurs throughout life, however, the level of need motivating someone’s behaviour at any one time will also change.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.  Physiological Needs, Safety Needs, Love and Belongingness, Esteem Needs, Cognitive Needs, Aesthetic Needs and Self-Actualisation.
  • At the bottom of the hierarchy are the basic physiological needs for food, drink, sex and sleep, i.e., the basics for survival. 
  • Second are the needs for safety and security in both the physical and economic sense. 
  • Thirdly, progression can be made to satisfying the need for love and belonging
  • The fourth level refers to meeting the need for self-esteem and self-worth.  This is the level most closely related to ‘self-empowerment’. 
  • The fifth level relates to the need to understand.This level includes more abstract ideas such as curiosity and the search for meaning or purpose and a deeper understanding. 
  • The sixth relates to aesthetic needs of beauty, symmetry and order.  At the top of Maslow’s hierarchy, is the need for self-actualization. 
Maslow (1970, p.383) says that all individuals have the need to see themselves as competent and autonomous, also that every person has limitless room for growth. 
Self-actualization refers to the desire that everybody has ‘to become everything that they are capable of becoming’.  In other words, it refers to self-fulfillment and the need to reach full potential as a unique human being.
For Maslow, the path to self-actualization involves being in touch with your feelings, experiencing life fully and with total concentration.

Practical Steps to Personal Development

Practical steps can be taken to enhance personal development, including:
  • Organizing your time.
  • Producing a personal CV or resume.
  • Undertaking a skills appraisal.
  • Looking at your transferable skills.
  • Overcoming barriers to learning a new skill.

Organizing Your Time

If you are considering making changes in your life, finding additional time often poses a problem.  It could be that the changes you are thinking of making are to ensure you have extra time to:
  • Spend with your family.
  • Spend on things you enjoy doing.
  • Devote to your work.
  • Devote to your education.
Whatever the reason, looking at how you spend your time will encourage you to think of ways your time could be managed more effectively.
Our pages: Time Management and Minimising Distractions give further information about how you may manage your time more effectively, these include:
  • Learning to say 'no' to jobs or requests that you feel are not your responsibility.
  • Learning to delegate – sharing jobs can be fun and will leave you with more time. See our page, Delegation Skills.
  • Making a ’to do’ list of tasks you need to do each day/week, ticking off tasks that you complete.
  • Giving up things you do not really want or need to do.
  • Identifying your high and low times of the day.  Everyone has a time when he/she feels more or less energetic.  Try to do the most demanding tasks when you have the greatest energy as you will do them more quickly, thereby releasing more time to spend on other things.
For many people their personal development will involve setting goals; these might be to change behavior - as in looking at their time management - learning new skills or advancing their career.
Many employers are looking for the same sorts of skills. These include good communication skills, the ability to work as part of a team and the ability to learn – these are often termed ‘Soft Skills’ and are the sorts of skills that Skills You  Need writes about.  Beyond that the skills required will depend on the particular job.
See our pages: Employ-ability Skills and Study Skills for more.

Overcoming Barriers to Learning a New Skill

Learning a new skill will broaden the opportunities open to you, at the same time as empowering you as an individual. There are many things that prevent people from learning new skills, these barriers may be overcome with some thought.  These might include:
  • Lack of Confidence or Self-Esteem:  This is one of the greatest obstacles facing many individuals.  However, if this is a problem then ask yourself if there is anyone who would support and help you to take the first steps towards learning a new skill.  Often, once the first move is made then the greatest hurdle is overcome.  Confidence increases as you develop new skills.  See our pages: Building Confidence and Improving Self-Esteem for more.
  • Economic Situation:  You may see your financial situation as a barrier to developing new skills, this need not be the case.  The internet has lots of pages and tools that can help you develop specify skills.  There may be courses offered in local schools, colleges or universities which are free or offered at a reduced rate for people on a lower incomes.  Distance-learning courses allow you to study at home which can help to reduce the cost of learning.  There may exist trust funds or charities that offer grants for people developing new skills in your area.  It is also possible to learn a new skill with the aid of books from a library.  Also, voluntary work can provide an excellent opportunity for learning and developing new skills as can being a member of a local group or society.
  • Family Commitments:  If you have family commitments that prevent you from having the time to learn a new skill, perhaps it is possible for you to enlist the help of a friend or family member to give you a few free hours weekly.  Colleges and universities offering vocational training courses may have free or subsidized crèche places.
  • Lack of Time:  See our pages: Time Management and Minimizing Distractions and consider how you could reorganize your time to fit in the development of a new skill.

Recording your Personal Developmentwww.amazon.com/author/michaelediaale

It is often a good idea to keep a record of your personal development. By writing down key developments in your learning and development as and when they occur, you will be able to reflect on your successes at a later date. 
This reflection may well help to motivate you to learn more skills in the future.  Try keeping a learning log or journal as you develop your skills and knowledge.

Foods Can Help You Boost Your Memory

Foods Can Help You Boost Your Memory

Berries.jpg
Eating certain foods can help make life's little details unforgettable.
Age, stress, quality and length of sleep, medications, and of course, nutrition can all influence how well your memory functions. Physiologically, good memory depends on your total number of brain cells (neurons), the smooth flow of communication between the cells and the health of the cells.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WZ4VQ52/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00WZ4VQ52&linkCode=as2&tag=michedia-20&linkId=ISGNKMVP537EF2PT

In many ways, overall health can strongly affect memory. For example, the health of the body's cardiovascular system can affect the performance of brain cells. Every cell in the body needs a steady supply of oxygen and nutrients to stay alive and work properly. Because oxygen and nutrients are carried in the bloodstream, anything that impedes blood flow can negatively affect brain cell function. Simply put, a healthy heart makes for a healthy brain. So it's important to keep blood pressure and cholesterol levels in check and to exercise regularly and not smoke.

A heart-healthy diet is therefore crucial to general health as well as to the health of memory, and compelling research has linked specific foods and their nutrients to the enhancement or preservation of memory. These "brain" foods contain flavonoids, which are chemical compounds that give fruits and leafy green vegetables their color. Two important flavonoids that appear to support memory function are anthocyanins and quercetin (both are found in apples, blueberries, and red onions, to name just a few sources).http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013Q9JBTW/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B013Q9JBTW&linkCode=as2&tag=michedia-20&linkId=7RD2PPIWSWOT7EHX

Other nutrients that have been found to improve memory are folate and omega-3 fatty acids. Take a look at the following list for a rundown of the best foods for boosting brainpower.

Berries
Berries have some of the highest concentrations of antioxidants among fruit, and all berries are rich in healthy anthocyanins and flavonols(a subgroup of flavonoids),which may help protect against the breakdown of brain cells. Some encouraging animal studies have suggested that diets rich in flavonoids may help reverse memory loss in humans.

Blueberries in particular have received a lot of attention because they are one of the best food sources of flavonoids. In fact, a British study revealed that eating plenty of blueberries can enhance spatial memory and learning.

Fresh berries are available at farmers' markets, local supermarkets, and health food stores. During off-season months, frozen berries are a good substitute and just as nutritious.
   
Leafy greens
Leafy greens like spinach, kale, collard greens, mustard greens, and turnip greens are loaded with folate (folic acid is the synthetic form of this nutrient that's found in supplements and fortified foods) —  which seems to have a direct effect on memory. In a study done at Tufts University in Boston, researchers followed 320 men for three years and tracked their blood levels of homocysteine — an amino acid that has been linked to a higher risk of heart disease. The participants who had high levels of homocysteine showed memory decline; those who ate foods rich in folic acid, however, which directly lowers homocysteine levels, demonstrated a protective effect against memory decline.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1579655734/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1579655734&linkCode=as2&tag=michedia-20&linkId=6EAYA3JH5NNVLKSH

An Australian study also found that a diet featuring plenty of foods rich in folic acid was associated with faster information processing and memory recall. After just five weeks of consuming adequate amounts of folic acid, women in the study showed overall improvements in memory.

Fatty Fish
Healthy fats are important for a healthy mind. Research suggests that when it comes to food and memory, fish should be the star of the show — specifically, fatty fish like salmon, sardines, herring, and mackerel and the generous amounts of omega-3 fats they provide. In fact, a study published in the Archives of Neurology in November 2006 found that subjects with the highest levels of omega-3s were significantly less likely to be diagnosed with dementia than subjects with the lowest levels.
www.amazon.com/author/michaelediale
Another, earlier study, conducted by researchers at the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, followed more than 3,000 men and women for six years to see how diet affected their memory. Those who ate fish at least once a week had a 10 percent slower memory decline than those who did not eat fish, a difference that gave them the memory and thinking ability of a person three years younger.

Strive to eat three 4-ounce servings of fatty fish per week. If that's not realistic, consider using fish oil supplements.

Coffee
There's good news for coffee lovers: About two years ago, researchers from the University of Innsbruck in Austria found that caffeinated coffee can temporarily sharpen a person's focus and memory. After giving volunteers the caffeine equivalent of about two cups of coffee, they used magnetic resonance imaging to observe that the volunteers' brain activity was increased in two locations, one of which is involved in memory. Volunteers given no caffeine showed no increase in brain activity.

Another study, published in a leading neurology journal, found that the effects of caffeine may be longer lasting in women. This four-year-long study involved about 7,000 participants who all went through baseline evaluations for cognitive function and blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and other vascular issues.

The researchers reevaluated the participants at the end of two years and again at the end of four years; they found that women 65 and older who drank more than three cups of coffee per day (or the caffeine equivalent in tea) had about a third less decline in memory over that time than the women who drank one cup or less of coffee (or the caffeine equivalent in tea) per day.

The results held up even after the researchers adjusted them to take into account other factors that could affect memory function, such as age, education, baseline cognitive function, depression, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, medications, and chronic illnesses. The researchers speculated that this caffeine-memory association was not observed in men because it's possible that the sexes metabolize caffeine differently.

One thing to keep in mind, though, is that unfiltered coffee (such as espresso, as well as coffee made in a French press) contains compounds that can raise cholesterol levels, especially in people who are already battling high cholesterol. To be safe, stick with filtered coffee, and of course, be moderate when adding milk and sugar!

THE ATTITUDE OF WINNING IN THE GAME OF LIFE


 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012EGDH2A/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B012EGDH2A&linkCode=as2&tag=michedia-20&linkId=4HUYHFNWCTRRX53E

The attitude of wining in the game of life can be achieved through the power of determination and persistence. People can over come  failure  in life by having a wining attitude. This can be reflected through your actions. This power is a drive from within that pushes you like a force to achieve your goals. Successful achievers are have a winning attitude towards life. The harder life becomes, the bigger the victory. Don't let lack of money, skill and education hinder you from achieving your goals. There is never a perfect situation to get started. As Mark Twain said;" The best way to get started, is by getting ahead." Stop day dreaming and start taking action on your goals. Difficulties and obstacles are stepping stone to your success. The route to success is covered with rough waters. People who desire to achieve success easily end up as failures, due to disappointment. Confront your challenges, persist till you succeed. Ghandi of India, Abraham Lincoln of America, Andrew Carnegie were raised from poverty and limited education yet they became successful in life. Albert Enisten the great scientist was labelled mentally deficient  by his teachers. Nothing can stop you except the limitation of your mind. These great men had a winning attitude towards life and triumphed. You can also have a winning attitude by persistening.

Click the link bellow these books to view and buy now.


MAXIMIZING YOUR POTENTIALS
Your  heart desire is that special thing that you were created  and placed on earth to do. No one else can do it  the same way that you can. It is something that should interest and attract you right from when you were young. You will never  be happy or fulfilled without doing it. Until you discover your potentials. You are not what you are, and who you were meant to be. To identify your special gifts and talent you have to think back into the past. What sort of activities have given you the greatest results, rewards and feelings.
 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1605094110/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1605094110&linkCode=as2&tag=mickydiablogs-20&linkId=BMBIMNFHQFFAIZRB
When you were a child  what is that thing you know  love doing without been taught. Talent is in born, it is not like a skill that can be learn. You naturally find your self doing  what interests you. E.g singing, dancing, writing, talking, drawing. If you cant remember ask you parents. The things you enjoy doing in the past is the glimpse to your future.Napoleon Hill advised that; " One of the greatest secrets of success is to decide what it is that you most  enjoy doing, then find a way to earn a living at it."

ELIMINATE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS AND LIVE A HAPPY LIFE


Every one desire a happy life. To live a happy life its is important that you eliminate negative emotions like anger, envy, jealousy and put in positive emotion. This can make you unhappy and unproductive in life. If you desire success in life eliminate these negative emotions that make you resentful and angry with people around you. Happiness and success would not be far away from achieving in your life.
