Welcome to selfimprovenow.blogspot.com

Hi everyone. I am Kamlesh from Mauritius, Welcome to my Self Improvement blog.  Through my articles I want to help everyone to find all the greatness within them.  Do not hesitate to leave your comments or any questions.

The Techniques
 Terms like  self improvement, self growth and self help have today become very popular. There exist today vast number of books on these subjects and as well as many websites.  People are turning inside to find the solution to their problems. People are more and more aware that there is a need  for knowledge, techniques, workshops, lectures, and teachers, who can show them the way to self improvement. People are fully aware now that self improvement and self growth can improve the quality of their life and ultimately lead them to success.

All happens in the  subconscious mind. It is one of the major keys to self improvement and self growth. If you change the contents of the subconscious mind  you change your habits, behaviour and attitudes. This is possible through visualisation, affirmations, meditation and by analysing behaviour and habits. Today Yoga practice is forming a very important part in the ultimate road to self improvement.  More and more people throughout the world are engaging on this Indian path of self improvement.

The process of inner change requires inner work.
Of course you cannot become a swimmer by simply reading books.  The same applies to self improvement. You need to practice and practice. Just like Rome was not built in one day so is the path of self improvement. Nothing will take place instantaneously. It is no secret that the path is paved with discouragement and failure at times but you must keep moving. Motivation, desire, ambition, perseverance and dedication will ultimately lead you to success. Outer and inner resistance and opposition will also be on your way.When you start practising a self improvement program, it is common to encounter inner resistance that comes from your old habits and from your subconscious mind, and also resistance and opposition from the people around you.
There must be a strong desire to change, build new habits and improve. You must be strong  enough to resist any laziness, desire to give up and the ridicule or opposition from family, friends or colleagues.

Personal experience
From my own experience I have been drawn to self improvement techniques from an early age, and have regarded them as a source for inner strength, happiness and a way to a better life. But there were always things that kept be away from my full potentials. Fortunately one day I discovered a secret.  It consisted of watching how people behaved and acted in various situations, and then looking inside myself, to find out if I behaved in the same way under the same conditions. Don't forget it is in bad times that you discover your true potentials. I have discovered that self improvement improves your life at all levels.

When I saw people with certain traits of character, or a certain kind of behaviour that I did not like, I examined myself to see whether I possessed these traits. If I did, I visualised and rehearsed in my mind a different sort of behaviour. In my mind's eye, I saw myself with the opposite traits of character. I visualised myself in various situations, in which I manifested the new behaviour. It is important to know what is right and what is wrong. Never hurt someone physically or mentally.

When I encountered traits of character or behaviour, which I liked, I used to think about their advantages and benefits, and about their importance in my life. Here too, I used visualisation and affirmations, and endeavoured to enact them in my daily life. You must always be on the look out for why people generally like such and such people. What is special in them that you don't have.

By observations I have learnt and benefited a lot from the behaviour and actions of the people around me, at work, at home, in the street and everywhere else, from people in real life, and from watching people on the screen. It was never for the purpose of judging them or taking advantage of them, but for learning how to act, react and behave in a better way. This process had another benefit. It increased the knowledge about how the mind and thoughts influence the behaviour and actions of people.

Follow these techniques for Self Improvement

1. Look around you and watch how people behave in various circumstances. Watch the people you meet at home, work, at the market, on the bus, train and on the street. Watch and learn also from people interviewed on TV, and also from movies.

2. Watch how people talk, walk and react, and how they are consequently, treated by others.

3. You must pay close attention to the following:  the way people use their voice and how they react to others' voices; watch how you feel and act when people shout or speak softly. Watch what happens when people get angry, restless and upset and what happens if they are calm and relaxed.

4. Make a self criticism of yourself. If you do not like what you see, analyse what and why you do not like it, and then analyse your own behaviour to find out whether you behave in the same way. Be honest and impartial in your analysis.

5. When you discover that you possess some of these undesirable traits of character and behaviour, affirm to yourself often, that every time you express these traits or behaviour, you are going to be aware of same, and do your best to avoid them.

6. In your mind you must constantly have a scene of how you would like to behave. Keep playing that scene in your mind. Repeat it several times a day, every day.

7. Imitation is the goal to success. When you detect in someone a sort of behaviour or character traits you like and desire to possess, try to act in a similar way.

8. You can also decide to change some habits and behaviour patterns and develop new ones, because you believe they are necessary and beneficial, even without seeing them in others first.

9. You must constantly think  and visualise over and again in your mind how you would like to act and behave. Constantly remind yourself of the changes you desire to make, and strive to act according to them. Every time that you find yourself acting according to your old habit, remember your decision to change and improve, and act accordingly.

10. There will be times that you will be  disappointed or frustrated if you do not attain fast results. Set same aside, it does not matter how many times you fail or forget to behave as you desired. Perseverance and looking forward will ultimately lead you to your ultimate goal.
