SELF HELP AND SELF DEVELOPMENT
|
On this website I am going to discuss and show you the techniques I used successfully for my own personal development.
Every individual is different. Hence, the same self development program may not work for everyone. One person may need self help for depression, another may need to manage stress, yet another may be in dire need to make money (more money!), while some other person may be needing a boost to his self esteem.
Our mind is made up of two parts, the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind makes up only 10% of the mind and controls such things as rational/logical thought.
The subconscious mind makes up 90% of the mind and stores habits and beliefs, memory, personality, self image and such things.
In between the conscious and subconscious mind is a filter called the Reticular Activating System (R.A.S.). This filter scans all the incoming stimuli from our world and decides how important each item is. Some information is sent straight to the conscious mind and some is sent to the subconscious mind.
For example, have you ever had the experience of buying a new piece of apparel, say a leather jacket, and then wherever you go suddenly you begin to notice every person who is wearing a leather jacket. This is selective attention. It is as if the radar in your brain, in this case the Reticular Activating System, has tuned into leather jackets as an important factor in your life. It suddenly chooses to bring every person wearing a leather jacket you see into your consciousness for a time, until the novelty of having a new leather jacket wears off. The R.A.S chooses what gets through to the subconscious mind, and science estimates that less than 30% of the input your conscious mind receives gets through to the subconscious mind.
But there are ways to bypass the R.A.S. so that new information can get into your subconscious mind. The key is relaxation. When you relax, which slows down your brain, the R.A.S. filter opens up and allows free flow of information between the two minds.
The bottom line is if you are trying to achieve something using only rational thought you are only using 10 % of your mind, which of course is not very efficient. It is far more effective to use the section of your mind that holds the lion’s share of the power.
| The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for. - Oscar Wilde Irish dramatist, novelist, & poet (1854 - 1900) |
Another important factor to bear in mind is that the conscious mind uses the information stored in the subconscious mind, for example beliefs as one of the programs to run your life. So, for effective personal growth it is necessary to change the beliefs, i.e. it is necessary to reprogram the subconscious mind.
In order to manifest destiny (your own!) you have to fill your subconscious mind with thoughts of the kind of life that you desire. All the self help programs that I discuss here will show you how to do that.
In short, use one or more of the self help programs listed here regularly to achieve your self development.
