What does that well-used term actually mean? I think it can only mean bettering the levels from which we function in the different aspects of our individual life. These aspects are; the way in which by which you look after the body; the way in which in which you method and express emotions; the clarity and relevance of one's thoughts and phrases; your ability to provide and receive love; and your openness to higher values along with a far more spiritually inclined way of life. Personal development groups have tended to involve an 'expert/guru' and, by inference, a lesser amount of 'developed' or a smaller amount 'enlightened' people from the audience. Personal development really only involves becoming aware of what you are actually like, what you'd like to alter about yourself, and if it is actually changeable, mastering exactly how to carry out just that! Western European society seems to have clearly defined 'levels' of common functioning. Some individuals are literally struggling to survive, to fight off infection, and to discover pound meals and water. Authorities agencies, and national charities as well, have a stated duty to help people on that base level of existence. We know that this really is also often not a top priority, knowning that this sort of help is underfunded and undervalued by people with the power to make this sort of changes to the diminished lives of so many people. When individuals basic needs are adequately met, we can then see society functioning on higher levels of needs, beliefs and values. People'utes attention in, and willingness for, 'growth' and change is actually determined by their knowledge, insight and even the simple thought that there is truly a different way of living their life. We all share the need for sleep, refuge, nourishment and care; beyond that we need money to bring us choices in your everyday living and to thus reduce our stress. How we devote that money and the choices we make depends upon our level of 'personal development'.The level of which you stay determines the business you retain, what you read and listen to, and what your hopes and ambitions are - no matter whether purely selfish of a lot more selfless. In quick these might be separate into three sections despite the fact that they are not clearly separated and for some people there will be a great area of overlap with the next stage - i.at the. stage 1 to stage a couple of; and stage only two to stage 3. I have provided these stages the titles of Dormant Awareness, Emerging Awareness and Expanding Awareness. Dormant/Latent stage Awareness will be limited to the Ego and immediate needs being met. There is deficiencies in empathy and compassion for others, along with a propensity to bigotry, oppression, abuse and violence - even to youngsters and creatures. Others are used, to meet up with needs for 'security', sex, and comfy survival. Absence of personal health care. Extremely mental, and mood will be transformed with elements and risky activities. High levels of fear, guilt, shame, blame and jealousy. Probably to read gossip-based periodicals and sensationalistic magazines, and to watch shame-inducing voyeuristic N.V.'chat-shows', pornography and violent/horror movies. Desires immediate gratification and can be prone to addictions. Need to belong with a tribe, gang or sports-supporters clan, and to 'wear the colours' to show this specific allegiance. Awareness may be increased by traumatic experiences this kind of because childbirth/parenthood, serious illness, victim of a violent assault, grief, ghost-sighting, use of clairvoyants, counselling, or possibly a opportunity meeting or film that enables insight into a different level of living and being. Emerging Awareness A smaller amount focus on very own needs being met and becoming aware of the 'bigger picture'. May still become focussed on body 'image,' and having particular clothes to 'belong', or to ease main self-doubts. May become materialistic - no matter whether it is usually afforded or not. Noticing emotionality and finding ways to understand and regulate it. Becoming aware of broader thinking and reasoning; developing reasoned opinions and clearer calmer expression. Seeking 'meaning' and 'purpose' in your life. Greater self-care and attention to diet and health, and resolving addictions. Far more empathic and considerate of other'ersus needs and perspectives. Mastering being far more tolerant and accepting of individuals at the earlier level of awareness/development. Some ability for forgiveness. Love will be becoming real, and a smaller amount conditional upon needs being met, and of fears being soothed, from the other. May read self-help guides, and personally relevant articles and stories. Desires periodicals and newspapers that stimulate balanced and non-political thinking. Counselling, psychotherapy and Psycho-psychological Education can aid insight and awareness. Expanding Awareness Heightened insight compassion and empathy for others, and a great comprehending with the stages with the 'Soul Journey' we are all undertaking. Seeks like-minded souls who share their higher values. Realises that most of us create our own 'fact' knowning that our thoughts are like tangible issue and attract to us that which we focus upon - having unblocked your own sub-conscious obstructions to this kind of imaginative procedure. Has got the ability to see the 'much bigger picture' which contains the personal development expert and the interconnectedness of everything and everyone - on a 'consciousness and sub-atomic particle' level. Developing views and aims concerning world peace and coherence, and operates for the good of others - which further enhances their own self and soul development. Psycho-mental Education and Transpersonal Psychotherapy can help to fill in a gaps to personal and spiritual growth. Different theoretical approaches to counselling and psychotherapy focus on different levels of need for change, They will will likely be focussed on possibly; the body, the inner thoughts, the cognitive-behavioural, relational interaction, inventive arts or transpersonal/spiritual/soul work. We all have been a mixture of all of these aspects and, therefore, need a therapist who seems to have training being familiar with and experience of all levels of human need - a good 'Integrated' approach to helping people unblock the hurdles to some happier and more rewarding life.
