Nearly everyone wishes they could do something better, become stronger, happier, perhaps even a little bit wiser. I have created a 7 steps guideline for everyone to follow that can alter your life for the better. I can assure you if you carry out these 7 steps daily you will grow into the person you dream to be, little by little. Personal development is not something that can change you over night, just like if you go to the gym for one day you will not see results. I can guarantee if you stay consistent, within time you will see the outcome you hoped for.
Step one: In the morning do your mirror exercise.
Stand in front of a mirror. Focus on yourself and your positive qualities that you find beautiful. Dig as deep as you possibly can, bringing out every compliment you can possibly give yourself. This can be quite difficult because if you are like most people, it’s always easier to pinpoint the negative rather then shine the spotlight on the positive. Give yourself every compliment you could ever want to receive. Tell yourself that you love yourself and that you are lucky to be you.
As for your qualities that others find in you, really look at them and see how you can improve.
(Remember, this is between you and you so be honest with yourself and change what should be changed.)
Step two: Read and/ or listen to Personal Development.
Every morning set aside about 10 minutes to read or listen to personal development. If you are unable to read while you’re having your breakfast or freshening up for the day an audio might be best. Read at least 10 pages a book per day. On your way to work, rather then listening to the radio, pop in a mentor CD of your choice to pump you up before the day officially starts.
One of my favorites is Jack Canfield:

Step three: Do something different for yourself everyday.
Whether it’s wearing a new style of clothing or styling your hair different or trying new food, just do something, anything! Try stepping out of your comfort zone a little more.
Step four: Before bed, do your mirrors exercise.
Same as what we did in step 1. Think of all the things that you’ve gotten accomplished today! And pat yourself on the back! Great Job!
Step five: Read and or listen to Personal Development.
Start where you left off this morning. If there are some great nuggets that you got from the earlier session and you applied them to your day and they worked out well for you, jot them down. (Don’t just read and listen, but put them to work for you.)
Step six: Write in your journal while listening to inspiring music.
Journals are the best way to express your feelings and keep track of your progression. Every evening, write down how your day was and think of ways that your tomorrow will and can be different. There is nothing like doing this step listening to great motivational music and that is anything you like that is up lifting!
Step 7: Smile and Enjoy
Control what is in your control, let go of what is not! Smile and enjoy the day as if it was your last and remember, life is to short to stew over every little thing.
((hugs)) to your wonderful future!
