You may have felt that 2012 is not your year. Sure, you still have your job, a family, friends, but in the back of your mind, you think that there is something you’re missing. You feel that there is something that needs to develop in you.
Personal development or personal growth can mean a lot of things. It can include activities that make you more self-aware, or being able to live to your full potential and your own design.
Embarking on a journey of personal growth is not easy, and it never ends. There is always something that will distract you, and there is always something that you need to learn. You don’t need to be afraid of growing. The great thing about personal growth is that it’s focus is you. You don’t need to look at how others do it, you simply need to look inside yourself, see the things that need to change, and do something to make that change.
I am setting intention as we start this month to Raise the B. A. R. (Believe Achieve Receive) Factor in all areas of my.
If you are not sure how you can do this, here are Top 12 Tips for Personal Growth I take to Raise the B.A.R.
1 Raise Your B.A.R. Standards
If you feel like your life is in a rut, it’s time to stop being contented with where you are now. Mediocrity is not included in personal growth. Know what you want, and keep working towards that goal. If you want that promotion, then do better work than you did before. You may have to sacrifice a bit of your time, but it will be worth it in the end.
2 Positive Mental Attitude (PMA)
There may be times in your journey in life that you will fail. You don’t need to be negative about it. See the silver lining in any situation, and turn those stumbling blocks of failure into stepping stones to success, adopt PMA as your daily mantra.
3 VisualizeVisualize IT
In order to have, do or be anything you must first be able to SEE it as a possibility – two years ago I was in Florida and was speaking in to my vision of a world as a Master Haler and Life Coach where I can make a difference, running my own companies and work with a close friends who believed in this vision. A vision where we believe and acknowledge that we ARE each other, a world where we can look deeply into each other’s eyes and hearts and EMBRACE Acceptance and Unconditional Love because we have awakened.
4 Voice IT
Once you BELIEVE you must set the vision into ACTION by pairing it with your creative power – the power of the WORD – all religions and spiritual traditions around the world agree that SOUND is a creative force – the bible begins with the phrase “In the Beginning was the WORD” VOICING what it is we want – using words and other forms of creative expression such as art, dance, song, performance, poetry, making music, writing will start to CRYSTALLIZE the Message that you are transmitting from your inner world into the outer.
5 Value IT
This is where you have to invest – money, time, energy, breath, life force, commitment, faith, trust into your belief. It is also here where I think most people get STUCK because part of VALUING what you want is ALLOWING YOURSELF to actually HAVE it! Which means that you have to ALSO VALUE YOURSELF and BELIEVE that you are able to ACHIEVE AND RECEIVE!
6 Know You
You know that quote “if you don’t stand for anything, you’ll fall for anything”? Keep this in mind. Know what you value, and stand up for them. Don’t give in to pressure and just trust and believe in yourself.
7 Invest in you
The worst place to be is at equilibrium. There is no such thing, when you stop growing you die. Try to learn something new, like a meditation practice, yoga, new habit (if you don’t know how to cook, this may be the time to take lessons!), or maybe a new language, or Latin dancing! It doesn’t matter what you try, just remember to have fun!
The next year can be your best year yet if you just take the time to grow. Start on your journey today and get ready for a great year to come!
In case you didn’t notice the major energy centers associated with this process are the 7 Chakras crown (mental) third eye (vision) the throat (voice), the heart (value), solar plexus (You), sacral (creativity, feelings), and root Chakra (trust in you).
One final piece of advice and guidance – have a relationship with your ROOTS-MOTHER (the Earth) and ground yourself in to her core so that you can activate her magnetic power and align yourself to her massive and generous capacity to attract and create abundance.
