  “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”   –        G B Shaw

What’s Personal Development?

We all know about the 92- year old Lata Mangeshkar, who even after reaching the pinnacle of musical excellence, still does 10 hours of riyaaz (practise) daily. At this age and after scaling so many heights, she probably needn’t. But that is what differentiates her from others. She didn’t stop after one achievement; rather, she has kept her passion alive throughout life. And also Bachendri Pal, the first Indian woman to climb Everest. But even after this monumental achievement, she kept leading expeditions and carried out relief and rescue operations during floods in the northeast.

It is this continuous journey of exploring newer horizons that we call personal growth or personal development. Personal development is the lifelong process of assessing life goals and enhancing skills to actualize one’s potential by becoming proactive and taking charge of actions. One may not always reach one’s goals but one certainly lives a more fulfilling life as one has a sense of purpose, satisfaction and success.

You can work on your personal development by embracing certain self-improvement skills. These are traits and qualities that you already have or gain through education and training. Some common personal development skills are:

Communication skills – Let you convey thoughts with clarity and confidence

Interpersonal skills – Let you build relationships for a more fulfilling life

Problem-solving skills – Enable you to evolve the best solutions to obstacles

Adaptability – Let you adjust to new things, staying calm in unanticipated situations

Leadership skills – Help you guide others, boost morale and confidence

I, too, am have-been-there, done-that. So, it’s all about walking the talk. Used to crib about the short 24-hour days (flip the pages of my A Story Can Change your Life) and a constant lack of time until one day…….  I looked into the mirror, decided to give up my distracted lifestyle and adopted one daily goal that changed my life forever:  Do Your Best.

Today, about a decade and a half later, I’m a fairly successful businesswoman, motivational speaker and author, a John Maxwell certified life coach and counsellor engaged in transforming lives through the learning that worked so well for me. This journey of personal growth and development has been so empowering, liberating and fruitful that I would like to spare the cheer to as many as I can.

Why personal development is important?

Many people suffer from the misconception that personal development is for those who need to work harder to achieve goals. But the fact is, even the most successful people constantly look for further improvement (that’s what made them successful in the first place) despite scaling the heights in their respective fields. In reality, the brain needs to be fed new information constantly (to forge new neural pathways) so that you remain mentally active and sharp and can flourish continuously.

Personal development may take time but is it certainly worth it:

1. Clarity

It helps you define your personal vision and goals clearly. With the targets in place, it is easier to plan and work towards your goals.

2. Better Skills

Continuous learning and personal growth define personal development. You learn from your past to overcome challenges.

3. True Potential

The more you work on yourself, the more you get to know about your latent potential and push your boundaries to explore new things.

4. Motivator

Personal development empowers you as you get to control things. Due to constant improvement, you feel more confident and motivated than ever, thereby raising your productivity and self-satisfaction.

5. The Bigger Picture

Once you accept your shortcomings, you hold yourself answerable for your mistakes. Self-awareness can help you appreciate the bigger picture and not self-criticize for things beyond your control.

6. The Social Animal

Good social skills help you build healthier relationships. If you face workplace conflicts, you need to address them instead of avoiding them. You learn to regulate emotions, thoughts and behaviours, thereby strengthening your self-control. You begin to differentiate facts from opinions. Addressing difficulties makes you more resilient and look at a problem objectively.

7. A Better You

Self-development is about putting your learning into practice. If you are consistently learning, growing and striving to become the best version of yourself means that you will reach your ultimate potential.

8. Direction

Once you know your goals and why you want to better yourself, you will have a clearer outlook. This sense of direction makes decision making easier and help you avoid unnecessary tasks.

9. Productivity boost

Once you have a sense of direction, the job of prioritizing people and tasks becomes easy. Focusing purely on areas that will improve you makes you motivated and productive.

10. Progress is addictive

Making a small change daily to help you achieve your goals adds up to a big change over time. Putting in the efforts to make it possible eventually becomes a habit. And when you look back and realize how far you’ve come from where you once stood, the progress becomes addictive, pushing you even further.

Please note that it is different from personality development as personality development refers to changing the very fundamentals of the unique way a person thinks, reacts and behaves.

SELF-DEVELOPMENT-The Process

It is a conscious process of enhancing oneself by developing skills, competencies and knowledge. Self-development aims to create a self-fulfilled person. The process has three components:

Skill improvement  

It covers both personal and interpersonal effectiveness. Personal effectiveness skills like goal-setting, time management, decision-making and stress management benefit you as a person while interpersonal skills help you interact with others and develop fruitful, healthy relationships.

Mental Conditioning

Mental conditioning is the process of building and strengthening our minds, which results in a better focus on our goals. It helps us keep a positive focus, improve our self-image and self-confidence. Mental conditioning techniques like meditation, breathing exercises and relaxation boost concentration and performance.

Habit Creation

Habits make a man. A habit is a routine, automatic, unintentional behaviour or tendency, which can be difficult to break. We can also cultivate new habits and bring about positive changes in life.

Is it time?

Though they might differ on many other things, the best life coaches agree on certain things necessitating a concerted effort for personal development.

Here is a checklist of the 10 signs you need to look out to know if it’s time for personal improvement:

1. The Angry Bird

Anger can undo many a successful person by ruining progress- personal and professional. There are endless accounts of how angry people sometimes ended up on the wrong side of the law for life.  When you aren’t making the desired progress at work and in life, your dissatisfaction often finds an outlet in sudden anger pretty quickly. Routine obstacles like a leaking tap or a lock not opening quickly become your scapegoats, you cuss more often and whenever those stupid shoelaces don’t untie, you scream aloud inside. Calm down! Go take anger management training, do some relaxation and practice meditation. And do flip the pages of my book A Story Can Change Your Life for more stuff on anger. It will help you, for sure!

2. Getting More Frustrated

If the pretty harmless noises children make while playing at home and the sound of a distant speaker is making you clench your teeth and jaws and you launch a full-fledged frontal attack on those around you, it’s time for a pause. You’re reacting unduly harsher to those you love – something not in sync with your character. You blow up your fuse over little things you can’t control because you’re not assuming responsibility for the big things in your control.

3. The X Factor

If you live the same year 100 times over, that’s not LIFE. If you don’t have a self-improvement milestone to differentiate one month from the next e.g. gaining more strength, more clients, spiritual upliftment —the months will soon turn into years multiplied by X. It can be scary and is another reason for a wake-up alarm.

4. Mother of distractions

The lack of absolute commitment towards making the most of your time makes you fill your time with useless stuff. It leaves you listless and unfulfilled. So if Instagram, Facebook and Twitter are your second abode, it’s time to apply the brakes and take a break. 

5. Single but wanna mingle

Singlehood may be a hidden blessing as it gives you all the time and space to take care of yourself, heal old wounds, and become what you want to be, no holds barred. But if the usual distractions aren’t fulfilling enough, you develop a rapacious appetite for someone to occupy your time.

But imagine if you command the full ownership of yourself, and you’re working to make each day better than yesterday, relationships don’t bother you as you’re satisfied and happy with your life.

6. Those never-ending projects

Lately, all those cool projects are just not getting done. The list keeps on getting longer and it only hurts your self-confidence to see those important tasks piling up day after day.

7. Bulging waist

You stay off your routine a little and sooner rather than later, it becomes a month since you’ve exercised regularly, which is affecting your body and mind. Very soon, you settle into your new routine of there being no routine. You get the point!

8. No longer an example

You were the guy to look up for family, friends and colleagues. You always took pride in setting an example by offering a useful insight or motivation to others but of late, you aren’t adding as much value as you used to. And you long for that exalted status you enjoyed in the past!

9. That Rut Feeling

You feel having slipped into a rut – nothing forward, nothing backward like an animal making an old-style oil extractor work by circling it. And to make it worse, you aren’t motivated enough to make a forward move to get out of it. There you are!

10. Promises broken

You had a well-earned reputation for keeping your word. If a belief or a principle or a cause really mattered to you, you stuck to it as a youngster does to his smartphone. But now things are sliding as your words are becoming less and less reliable. In fact,  you’re not keeping your promises to yourself even.

So, how do I get a self-improvement reboot?

Falling out of routine is no cause for shame as that’s life. We become parents. We change and lose jobs. Our marriages get on the rocks. We get injured or sick. All that and much more is OK.

Now, the only thing that matters is that you return to the top of your game and stop making excuses. Take 100% ownership of yourself and your actions; be honest with yourself and have a self-improvement month to tell the world who you really are.

1. Digital Detox

Have a complete social media and tech fast for an entire month and restrict yourself to only three email and message checks a day.  The commitment to refrain from such low-value addition activities is the foundation stone of your reboot. Distractions threaten your productivity big time, so it’s time to throw them out of the window: social media, TV, Netflix and the like (Fret not, you can restore them after the fast is over.) But it’s imperative to format and reboot daily habits to let you focus on high-value habits and actions that boost your confidence.

2. Stick to a simple, effective, repeatable  daily routine for a month

Here we go: A. 5 minutes each of

1. gratitude
2. prayer
3. visualization and
4. affirmations

Followed by

1. A 30-minute exercise routine
2. An hour of work before any message/email checks
3. 20-minute meditation in the afternoon
4. writing a journal before bed and planning the next day.

Following it can inculcate discipline and a sense of momentum that aids good decision making.

Make a list of the biggest excuses you make and the things that cause them and refrain from all for a month. For example, if your biggest grouse is about the lack of enough time, list down all the things that suck up your time, and commit to stop doing them.

3- List daily goals as the week begins

List down your goals for your career, education, self-improvement, fitness, and all else that you want to do. Transfer these goals to your daily planner every night so that you know the most important things you have got to do tomorrow. Refer to the planner frequently to keep yourself updated.

4. Get your accountability buddy. NOW!

Accountability really works. But for you, when you’ve been off the track, it’s all even more important. Have  a buddy – a best friend, a preacher, a mentor or your father. It’s quite easy to rationalize you missed x y or z goals, so you need someone to alert you to the bluff when you think of taking the easy way out. Many of my clients often tell me, “The accountability buddies are great! Whenever I’m going to make an excuse, this ‘But what would I tell him? is a  powerful roadblock.”

No family is perfect. Every family has its share of problems and situations that are hard to handle. Sometimes these difficulties lead to serious consequences. Family problems have to be handled comprehensively.

No matter how many family disputes and problems families face, the bond between family members is pure and blissful. As quoted by Anthony Brandt,

“Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family.”

Many movies and TV serials have been made to help families understand how to adjust and learn to live and love in a family. One such movie which was recently released was, “Dil Dhadakne Do.” It perfectly depicted how families are flawed on the inside but pretend to be perfect on the outside.

People fake it to be happy and sound to the outside world, whereas they are massively troubled in their interpersonal relationships.

How Family counselling Helps?

Once there was a family of four. The parents were not happy with their marriage and would always keep on fighting. Their elder son started having some mental disturbances because of this atmosphere at home. 

He would ignore and stay away from his parents because his father would always scold him if he would keep an opinion. The condition of the son started getting worse. Someone suggested they get family therapy.

However, the parents were too proud of themselves that they thought there was nothing wrong with them as a family, and they don’t need any therapy.

As days passed, the mother started noticing similar behavioural changes in her younger son as well. Now, she had no choice other than to attend a family counselling centre. The father, however, did not agree to join them in the therapy. So, the three of them started their counselling.

As they followed the counselling ways, learned, and did homework, they could feel changes in their lives. The family therapist helped them get through their past traumas using innovative approaches.

Their father soon started noticing these changes and asked to be a part of this therapy. Soon the four of them created a loving bond and a happy family.

In this way, family counselling can be extremely beneficial for any family facing troubles in maintaining healthy relationships with one another.

What can be discussed in family counselling?

Family counselling centres offer many services. Many people are unaware of how many arenas and aspects of problems can be discussed with a family therapist.

Many problems and difficulties between families, kids, brothers, and couples can be resolved using family therapy. 

Some common issues that you can discuss with a family therapist are:

• Family Disputes

There isn’t a single family in this world that is perfect. Being a life coach, I witness many people facing troubles with their own families. The households you might feel are perfect, are going through a lot of family disputes. Most families only pretend to be without any issues on the outer side but are severely faulty on the inside.

Every member of a family is unique. We all are a blend of different personalities. However, being a family we have to live together and adjust to one another. When people from different generations and mindsets live together, disputes are bound to happen. 

The best part is that no matter how big or small your family dispute is, a counsellor can always be of great help. The balanced approach of a therapist helps people in a family live peacefully with one another.

• Abusive Marriages

One of the most common issues discussed with family therapists is abusive marriages. I have seen many strong women in abusive marriages for numerous reasons. Everyone has their reasons for being in such a relationship. Some common reasons why people choose to stay in an abusive marriage are:

• Lack of self-confidence: Some women do not have the confidence to face the world and its challenges alone. They need someone by their side and are ready to get abused in return.
• Future of their children: One of the primary reasons why people continue to live in abusive marriages is their children. In most cases, the mother is too scared about preserving their child’s future that she is ready to face what dirt the relationship brings.
• Love: When people are in love, they are ready to face any shortcoming it brings. Many people are ready to get harassed by someone, just because they love them. 
• Family pressure: I have seen that individuals are terrified of accepting a separation in light of the pressure from their families. Their folks continually encourage them to adjust regardless of whether they aren’t protected there. It is because they think nobody will be prepared to wed somebody who’s a divorced person. 
•  Afraid To Confess: Numerous individuals don’t have the foggiest idea, however, there are various kinds of victimizers. A few victimizers undermine their other half to not open their mouths to anybody. The dangers can likewise shift, such as hurting the children or following them. It begins affecting the person’s emotional well-being unfavourably.
• The need for finances: Not everyone is financially independent to move on from an abusive marriage. Many times, people are ready to face the harassment as they might lose a place to live and food to eat if they leave.

I remember once a young girl came to me for therapy. Although she came for mental health therapy, I discovered she was suffering from an abusive relationship. So much so that she was not even allowed to discuss it with anyone. It slowly started affecting her mental health.

The girl was unable to conceive even after five years of marriage. Her husband and in-laws used to blame and put a lot of pressure on her. The inability to be a mother and the pressure it brought in her life was too much for her to handle. Her husband would even sometimes force her to do things she wouldn’t give her consent for.

When I asked her if she had discussed it with someone, she said she wasn’t allowed to. Moreover, she said she cannot go back to her parents as they wouldn’t accept her back because she married someone of a different religion. In this way, the lack of financial independence led her to live in such a relationship. 

• Property Disputes

Another common issue faced by families is property disputes. Property disputes have been the cause of family break-ups for a long time. In India, it is commonly seen that people end life-long relationships for the sake of property.

People use legal actions to resolve such conflicts and spend the rest of their lives visiting courts and attending hearings. I have seen many people where the property they fought overturned into rags, but a legal solution could not be found.

Property disputes are generally seen where one family member hoaxes to take over some land or where lands are not equally divided into siblings. For instance, the property, when divided equally among siblings, is not entertained by many. Some people wish to get the greater share, and thus, it brings differences in the families.

Many people do not acknowledge visiting a family counselling centre to resolve property disputes. However, it is an easy, quick, and effective strategy. Family counselling for property disputes can help to clear the communication barriers and grudges from people’s hearts. 

• Interpersonal Conflicts

Many people think interpersonal relationships are limited to social events. It is why family members find it quite arduous to form elated bonds within their families. I have seen many kids who are not well-versed with their family members. In fact, in many situations, the soreness can also be seen between parents and children or siblings. Any type of conflict that is restricting you from forming a divine bond with a particular family member can be sorted through family counselling.

Top 8 Benefits of Family counselling

There is not one family that does not face problems. There are many cases where families end up breaking because of the problems that were never addressed. Different approaches are used to solve different problems. It is where family therapy can be of great help. A family therapist consultancy can help you deal with bigger problems.

Many people often neglect problems until they become extremely severe. Some people might even feel that there’s nothing important in getting coaching, and realize it when things get very bad. 

Counsellors have and have helped many families get over past conflicts and grudges. There are many benefits you can get from a family counsellor. 

These are the top 8 benefits of family counselling that you can get.

• Improves Family Bonds

 One of the prime reasons people undergo family counselling is to improve their family bonds. It is commonly seen that siblings get into conflicts from time to time. At younger ages, such conflicts are not very serious, but as people get older such conflicts may get more serious. Many conflicts need to be resolved as soon as they arise, or they might result in a broken connection in the family. 

I have coached many siblings who were very jealous of each other. It started from a very young age when one of them started feeling the other child is loved more by the parents. Soon this thought and insecurity started arising in life decisions and other choices. Their parents thought this anguish would end when they grew up, but it started creating a distance between the two. Parents need to validate the significance of such emotions from a young age.

A counsellor can help you remove such thoughts and feelings and turn your relationships into a strong bond. You’ll be able to express your thoughts and understand the thoughts of other family members. It strengthens the relationships and bonds between families.

• Helps In Dealing with Separations

Separation is perhaps the most arduous occasion for any family, and it will affect every member of the family. Individuals experiencing a separation can here and there struggle with relatives, and a portion of the relatives can be trapped in the middle. Some individuals have a substantial motivation to separate, (for example, betrayal) while others decide to do so because they can’t see one another and have been detached for an extensive period. 

Going to a family or marriage counsellor can help in saving the family. An advisor can distinguish the reasons why you have disputes and clashes in the family and concoct an approach to manage them. It can wind up saving the marriage and making the nuclear family more grounded. On the off chance that the accomplices choose to end the marriage, a therapist will set up the individuals required to acknowledge the conditions and adjust to the new circumstance. It will make the separation simple on the individuals, particularly little youngsters.

• Enhances communication between family members

It is entirely common to discover individuals who have a diligent time attempting to open up to one another. It can some of the time make disengagement and distance between the members of the family. With a family therapist, you will have the option to interact and understand people in the family and show how being transparent is significant for family members. 

Beginning a discussion can be a test for some individuals since they don’t have the foggiest idea of where to begin. A counsellor will help you in learning how to start the discussion, and the individuals can contribute and state their opinion or feel about the issue. 

It will be the initial step the family takes to improve bonds inside the family. Relatives will have the option to see each other decidedly without making any contentions all the while.

• Gives you self-esteem

Self-esteem is not only required for the outside world. If people want to form elated bonds, it is necessary to have self-esteem within families. Many clients who visit me find it very hard to even socialize with their families because of confidence issues. Many times people are vulnerable to peer pressure that makes them this way. If parents lack confidence, there are many chances that the kids will also face self-esteem issues. Low self-esteem causes many problems in families. It disrupts interpersonal relationships, hinders decision making and distances you from others.

counselling can help such individuals not feel odd in families. Generally, more outspoken family members get to take all the major family decisions. Other members may disagree with the decision but will be too ashamed to share their thoughts. A life coach will go a long way in helping you restore and help self-esteem in parents, children, or siblings. It will give your family a new chance to improve and succeed in life.

• Impacts The Health of all the family members

It is significant to be calm and relaxed when it comes to family, for both your physical and psychological wellness. Harmony comes when individuals see one another and are ready to do things all together. 

When you feel like there is somebody prepared to tune in to your hardships and help you in the manner they can, at that point, the family appreciates more amicability. It can here-and-there be difficult for certain individuals to comprehend their accomplices and youngsters, however, this can be fixed by having family counselling.

If any individual from the family has an issue, it is managed and will give them genuine feelings of serenity. Mental and actual well-being will be improved when every individual from the family is eager to help each other. A family coach helps in recognizing and managing the issue in advance.

• Makes families ecstatic

Innovation has had both positive and negative impacts on families. It has made it a lot simpler to achieve errands and impart, however, it has likewise given elective choices to manage problems. At the point when individuals are focused or confronting an issue, they go to electronic devices, for example, cell phones and TV. It is a disgraceful method since you are stowing away from or fleeing from your issues, and this can hurt individuals from the family. 

At the point when one individual from the family is disturbed, the others won’t be cheerful, particularly if they don’t have a clue what’s up. 

There is nobody who appreciates being around an individual who doesn’t open up, regardless of the amount you love them. At this point, when you discover methods of opening up and seeing one another, you will find that you are a lot more joyful around one another. 

A solid family will comprehend and figure out how to adapt to the issue, and confronting them together is better than choosing to disregard it. The next time an individual has an issue, they will be far much happy with opening up. 

• Improves marital life

Numerous youngsters nowadays get messages that are viral on social media or television. There is no shadow of a doubt that the media is related to divorces and family separations that have ascended in the new past. 

Families that visit a family counselling centre have had the option to address family issues in the beginning phases before they become extreme. It has allowed some families to manage and have the option to improve the relationship and reconnect together. 

There will consistently be issues coming up, and the significant thing is the way it is managed. It can get exceptionally sad if none of the relatives realizes how to address it. 

Family coaches can help you fabricate a fruitful family and marriage where everybody is upbeat and where outside impacts are diminished. 

• Parent-Child Relationship

Parent-child relationships have always been a crucial part of family counselling. Appropriate communication between a kid and parent is a significant piece of an effective family. The guardians need to feel like kids are regarding them, and the youngsters need to feel like they are being heard. 

With family counselling, both the guardians and children will get an opportunity to learn legitimate ways of communicating and have the option to relate better and manage any issue proficiently. 

Conclusion

“Being in a family means you are a part of something very wonderful. It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life.” -Lisa Weed

There is nothing above family for anyone. Most of the time, we ignore petty issues for the sake of the family. However, sometimes such issues can turn into bigger ones. It is better to address and resolve disputes whenever and wherever they arise.

Family counselling is a proven method of overcoming almost all problems faced by individuals in a family. Now that you know how family counselling can benefit you, do not think twice before improving your family relations.

“A Good Coach Can Change A Game, A Great Life Coach Can Change Your Life”

The above statement depicts the importance and the functions of a coach in the life of a normal man, which is absolutely true. A life coach not only shows you the way but also teaches you the real meaning of life situations.

Here in this blog, you will learn about life coach meaning, its importance, and also about an expert life coach online who can help you deal with career stress and life anxiety.

An individual always thinks that he/she is capable of handling all the situations alone but, what they don’t realize is that whatever they think is just one side of the whole situation. And understanding the situation objectively is also the other side which is very important.

When people get stuck in such kinds of situations, they either tend to lose hope, criticize, blame others, or raise conflicts. But they fail to see and comprehend the situation from the other side as well. There is a possibility that they themselves did wrong at some point or they are missing out on anything.

To make the above-mentioned statement more clear, here I am stating an example of a royal palace where once a king hired a secretary at 1000 shillings. When the secretary joined the work he saw that there was another man who was performing the same activities as him but getting 2000 shillings.

The man got angry and went to the king to discuss his issue of injustice. After the conversation, the king considered his point and asked him to wait for his decision.

Some days later the king listened to some voices outside. The king asked the secretary to first go and check from where these voices are coming. The secretary then identifies, comes back and answers that these voices are coming from the town. The king asked who is making so much noise, The secretary goes again, checks, comes back and answers, there are some people who are gathered together due to which the noise is coming. The kings asked who are these people?

The secretary goes again, checks, comes back, and answers that these people are from the other town and they are wearing orange clothes. The king asked, why are they here?

He again goes and asks and comes back, he says, they are musicians. The king asked what their price was? He goes again, comes back, and answers that they take 10000 shillings. The king asked how much they will take from me? He goes again, comes back and answers sir 7000 shillings.

After this whole process, the king asked another secretary who took 2000 shillings and asked him to go and check from where the noise was coming. He goes, checks, comes back and answers, Sir there are some people gathered from another town, they are wearing orange clothes, they are musicians and 10000 shillings per event. I asked them their prices for your reference and they are ready to do the event at 6000 shillings.

Now, the king asked the secretary who was earning 1000 shillings if he understands why he is getting paid less. The secretary realized his mistakes and apologized for his conduct. Similarly, there are many people who face such issues with their work, family, mind, school, college, etc. But fighting and learning to get out of such a situation along with the guidance provided like the above-mentioned king will create a lot of difference.

In such situations, people seek assistance from a coach by stumbling in one or more areas of life or just want to improve. These areas are marriage, entrepreneurship, Work, Relationships, mind, and self-development needs, etc. Here the urge arises in such people to know what life coaching means and how it helps is achieve massive growth in life?
