Personal development

Personal development is the conscious development of the way of thinking, acting, relationships and self-regulation in accordance with values ​​and the reality of life.

Definition

Personal development does not have to mean constantly improving yourself. In its mature form, it includes greater self-awareness, responsibility, learning from experience, regulation of emotions and choosing a direction consistent with values. It is not a substitute for therapy, diagnosis or treatment when difficulties are clinical in nature.

Key ideas

  1. Samoświadomość
  2. Uczenie się
  3. Działanie zgodne z wartościami

Practice and life

Choose one area of ​​your life and write down: what I want to understand better, what behavior I want to change and what small experiment I will do for a week.

Common misunderstanding

It is a mistake to treat development as an obligation to be constantly better. It is also a mistake to use development to avoid pain, relationships or professional help.
