A Personal Development Plan For Building Confidence

Do you realise the power of having a personal development plan? It's like having your very own blueprint for success in your life - tailored to create your life exactly how you want it to be. If you could learn how to build your own personal development plan, would you be willing to devote 10 -15 minutes per day to nurture it and put it into practise?

Before we get started, let me ask you a question: "Why do successful people seem to find it easier to get what they want in life?" And why do some people get to the top of their careers and earn good money, while you continue to struggle to make a decent living?

The answer is fairly simple - the people who get what they want in life are not inhibited. Situations that are important to them do not make them feel nervous. They don't feel anxious when they have to push themselves out of their comfort zones.

These people still get nervous and anxious when in demanding situations that take them outside of their comfort zone, but they have learnt how to control those limiting and dysfunctional emotions and behaviours and even eliminate them completely from their lives.

Successful people are constantly learning and adapting to methods that empower them. When they find something that works, especially where emotions and feelings are concerned, they repeat the behaviours that bring on those emotions until they become second nature.

If these people can learn how to not feel nervous and anxious in important situations, so can you.

If these people have learned how to remain calm and relaxed when they get into winning positions in sport, so can you.

If these people have learned how to stand in front of a room full of people, be relaxed, smile, and present their ideas, so can you.

And if these people have learned how to overcome their frustrations and inabilities to achieve their highest goals in life, so can you.

Learning to use NLP does not require hours on end of your time to make a difference in your life. If you can allocate 15 minutes a day to practice some very simple, and very rewarding techniques, you can immediately start to take control of your fears and frustrations and turn them into a winning and empowering attitude that will continue to take you closer to your goals and ambitions.

NLP - or Neuro Linguistic Programming - in its simplest form is basically a method to help you control your thoughts and reactions in any given situation. When you experience negative emotions, like fear or nerves or anxiety, you are reacting negatively to that situation. NLP provides a mechanism that shows you how to take those negative reactions, and turn them round into positive and functional reactions that will start to empower you.

To get started, there are two very simple exercises you need to learn and practice:

1. First of all, you need to start to take notice (or become aware) of the things that are causing you to feel bad. If a particular situation of place causes you to feel nervous or anxious, simply make a note of it. The best plan is to carry a little notebook around with you so that you can take notes whenever you feel this way.

In order to start tearing down the barriers that are standing in your way, you need to know exactly what those barriers are.

2. Exercise 2 is even easier. Simply make a list of all the negative behaviors and feelings that you want to eliminate from your life. Write them all down - every last one. This list is a work-in-progress - keep adding to it every time you think of or experience another emotion you want to rid yourself of. At the same time, make a note of exactly how you would like to feel most of the time. Again, write it down and describe how you feel and what it means to you to feel that way.

Take you time to do step two thoroughly - the more detailed your list, the better you will be able to focus in on those areas, and create a personal development plan that supports your goals.
