Self-Developmet: Tips and Ideas

To start, scan through the lists below and see which one resonates with you, the one that you always wanted to get or learn, the one that you feel strongly emotional about.

Then identify the smallest action you can do to move you towards that.

Then COMMIT to it. Intentions are a good starting point, but in order to achieve a significant transformation, we must endure and commit. (Click here to read more about committing.)

Many more tips, ideas and principle are available out there, and each individual will have their own ways and principles about self-development. In the end of the day, what counts is the actual commitment to self-improve ourselves, each day. To keep an open mind, a growth attitude, to embrace diversity and to challenge our thoughts. I am not sure how to prove this competence otherwise then by being, above all, a constantly learning human being.

Self Awareness

Run regular self-assessments
The ostacle is you (self sabotaging)
The power is within you
If you keep find yourself undergoing the same experience in life there is still some lesson you have not learned; stop, look and listen, and you will eventually see what it is. It's not misfortune. It's you.
Mele e meloni hanno le loro stagioni: there;s a time for everything and everybody
Acknowledge that all emotions come from within you.
When you say, 'I don't know', it prevents you from knowing. Truth lives inside all of us, so do not deny yourself the chance to know. The answers will surface if you invite them.
Sometimes the truth is in front of your eyes, just use them (empirical process)
Write your eulogy: how you want your funeral to be? How you want to be remembered? You don’t want to die alone. To be able to connect with other, you must work on yourself (self-development)
Communication is function of the listener
Stop Blaming Others and Accept Responsibility
Focus on your strenghts, aknowledge your weaknesses,
Reflecting will help you understand the way
Count your blessing, be grateful
If you don’t change behaviour, the result will always be the same.
To deny your mistakes is to lose your greatest resource for deeper understanding, greater clarity and insight. Your mistakes are often your best tutors.

Self-Confidence

Yet' is the magic word (I can't do this 'yet')
Personal empowerment begins from the moment you change 'I can't" into "I can." So, banish "I can't' from your vocabulary and replace it with 'I can.'
Compare to yourself not to others, beat your personal best
Nothing is easy, but everything is possible (if you want to)
Manage expectation
Growth and Comfort Do Not Coexist. It takes a lot of pain to become a butterfly
Is not failure what you can learn from (Learn From Past Mistakes, Focus on the Future Progress)
If someone else can do it, you can do it to!

Self-Control

Slow down, develop the art of thinking before speaking and you will make better choices about what you say, when you say it and where you say it.
Before talking: THINK (True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, Kind?)
In order that you can experience the amazing clarity and insight of a finely-honed intuition, you must practice the art of being still and listening. Being is the ultimate form of doing.
Quiet your Rex (amigdala)
Quiet the monkey of procrastination

Being

Resilience: how you react to challenges
Be humble, be thirsty for knowledge, be proud of yourself but aware of your unlimited potential
Be open
Be honest
Treat Your Body Like A Temple
Sometimes you just need to believe and accept
Respect is given or deserved, never demanded
Be Commitment
Have a sense of responsibility and care (things, people, places, community)
Trust your instinct
Share your knowledge
Help others
Set ambitious goals, dream big
Pursue Impact Over Income
Some are expert in one area, others know a little of a lot
Be curious
Be open minded
Be teachable
Nurture your sense of wonder

Knowledge

Life is lika a game with lots of problems to solve: the more quests, the funnier the game
Life is a self-fulfilling prophecy, anticipate the worst and it won't be very far away, dare to expect the best and in time it will be yours.
Know where to find answers
Keep learning
There is always a further answer that you don’t know yet

Behaviour

You are your thought, words, actions
Create and update an action plan, monitor result, review the plan
Take Ownership: behave as if you were the owner
Every year add one new extraordinary person to your circle of influence
Have a list of people you admire to inspire you
Are you spending time on your priorities?
Do your best, always
Actions speak louder than words
Don't be afraid to ask for help
Ask question, search for answers
Look around you when you travel, be inquisitive, keep learning
Be brave: try everything twice
Practice Visualizations
Practice Affirmations
Be mindful of NLP: what you say will become true
What you start, finish
What you do, do it well
If not me, who?
If not now, when?

Performance

There is a place called the flow. Search it as you'd search the eldorado (build momentum)
While you wait, do something useful
Consistency and regular practice will build habits
Start organizing yourself asap. Is an investment for your future (dropbox)
What did you do yesterday? What will you do today? Are there any impediments in your way?
Build A Routine That Works
Start lean, refine later
Chose 3 tasks a day and do them!
How to focus: mind map
Find a honest, hardworking and competent partner
Ask for feedbacks and treasure them.
Be realistic, plan and account for accidents.
Time is limited, don’t waste it. What if you died in a week? Hurry up! Respect time, it works with you, not against you
Time management: use of Google calendar, tasks and prioritising
