Recently, I had an idea to create and publish on my blog a self-development plan that will include some number of consecutive steps. Each of these steps will consist of a theory, in the form of materials that you will need to read and practice, some “homework” that you will need to do as your workout. It will be like a game: you pass one level and move on to the next. During the passage of these steps, you will change, develop your skills, cope with your shortcomings and solve personal problems.
All this is free and online, all the materials you will find on the links on this site. You can subscribe to the site (form under the article) to find out about the appearance of each new step. No one will control you, but it is appreciated if you, in the comments to each step, describe your impressions, successes or ask questions, which I am only glad of and will gladly answer them. It would be better if you show some kind of activity and will be interested in, write in the comments and ask about what is not clear or say with what you do not agree.
Why am I doing this? Let's tell, so firstly:
Not sure where to start?
This program is designed for those who wish to develop, but have no idea where to start, what to do and what to read. A personal development plan will lead you through the pages of my blog, indicate in what order they should be read and offer exciting self-test methods and practices.
Lack of motivation?
Everyone knows that it is quite difficult to force yourself to work purposefully on yourself: breaking your habits, correcting shortcomings ... It is much easier to do this when you have a ready plan before your eyes. Tasks of the initial steps of the program are not very difficult for any person, they are easy to perform. This will help you move forward on your course, and not to drop everything, barely starting.
Efficiency considerations
This plan will streamline your work with this site. Of course, you can read articles in any chaotic sequence, but it is much more effective to go through them in a well-organized manner, besides each step will offer practical exercises that I will try to make as interesting and interesting as possible: with them you will consolidate and work through the material .
Do I have to follow the plan?
Not necessarily, you can forget about him and read articles in any order. I only propose a choice, just as Julio Cortasar, the author of the postmodern novel “Playing Classics”, made it: he gave the reader the opportunity to choose the order of chapters reading, or use the author’s order, or read in the order that the reader chooses. So I say: read my site at your convenience, but if you don’t know where to start, how to continue, how to check yourself and understand if you are on the right path, then it’s best to follow this plan.
Perhaps some steps can be skipped if you understand that they are not necessary for you. For example, the step “fighting bad habits” can not be passed if you do not have such habits.
Step structure
Each step will consist of a theory, this is actually what you will need to read. Practices are what you will have to do. And elective, what to do / read is desirable, but not necessary. There will be a section for conclusions. It's just the content of the theory in a condensed form, so that you all remember and secure.
Features publishing steps.
I just started to develop the idea of an individual self-development plan, so all the steps will not be published immediately, the release of each new step after the previous one will take some time until I prepare it. How many steps there are - I can’t say yet, and not because I was too lazy to calculate in advance, but because they may not have a limit: I myself am in the process of self-development, turning to new abstract “steps” and which I don’t know or can’t formulate today, tomorrow will become clear to me, and the day after tomorrow will appear on my site as recommendations.
Since the self-development process is dynamic, the process in which I am involved myself together with you and, because it is very long (probably continues all my life), it is not possible to report the final number of steps now.
What to expect from the program?
But nevertheless, the implementation of the initial steps and following the recommendations can significantly change you for the better or set the correct guidelines that you will follow on the way to achieving happiness, well-being and harmony. Of course, I cannot promise that each of these steps will help you achieve your goals and immediately solve your problems. These steps can only raise you to a new level of understanding, push and put you on the right path, help you get rid of prejudices and dispel a veil of illusions, and then everything will depend on you, you will act yourself.
I can't promise instant results. Just as I cannot lead you to the very end, I can only point the way, the rest will be decided by you later, each for yourself, based on my own peculiarities, because everything is individual. But I will try to give you some “base” that should suit everyone, it will help to reveal part of their potential, perceive themselves and the world more consciously and soberly, clearly set their goals and not deviate from their life course. This is something with which it will be much easier and happier for you to live, something that will open up new horizons for yourself and your personal life plan, which will make your life the way you want it to be.
