A Personal Development Plan For Building Confidence

By: Wendy Jones

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?

There's one common trait amongst all successful people - and that is that they are all virtually totally uninhibited. They see what they want, and do whatever it takes to get there.

Successful people still experience nerves and feelings of anxiety when they find themselves in positions outside of their comfort zone, but they learnt some time ago, exactly how to manage their behavior and overcome their negative emotions and even eliminate them completely.

Successful people have learned the behaviours they need to achieve their goals, and they practice them on very regular occasions. So much so, their old, limiting behaviours have all but been eliminated from their life, and their new empowering behaviours and now the norm.

If people can follow a simple plan that teaches them how to combat nerves and anxieties when faced with important situations - so can you.

If successful people can learn how to remain relaxed and focused when they get into a winning position in sport - then 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.

If you're truly serious about overcoming your inhibitions, and can set aside 10 to 15 minutes each day (or every other day will do), you can learn some very simple NLP techniques that will show you exactly how to take control of your life. You can learn how to turn negative and dysfunctional emotions into positive and empowering behaviour patterns that will take you ever closer to your goals.

Neuro Linguistic Programming is nothing to fear - in fact it's something to embrace as it could mean the difference between a life of success and mediocrity. It's a technology that teaches you how to change the way you react to any given situation. If you feel nervous or anxious in response to an event of situation, you can use NLP to turn those behaviours into strong and empowering emotions literally within seconds. All it takes is a few days practise.

There are two very simple exercises that you can perform to help get started using these NLP techniques to create your personal development plan:

1. You need to become aware of all the situations and environments that make you feel nervous, anxious and inhibited. Carry a little notebook in your pocket so that you can make note of them whenever they occur.

You can't start to break through your limiting emotions and beliefs until you fully understand what they are. This exercise helps you identify exactly what those negative behaviour patterns 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.

These aren't big exercises, but it's important that you take time to complete them fully. The more you put into creating them, the more you'll get out of the process when you start to create your personal development plan for building your future.
