Tips to Embrace Your Personality

by on Oct.19, 2010, under Personality Development Tips

Personality consists of our thoughts, feelings, emotions, attitudes and behaviours. Our personality may be reflected in the goals we set ourselves. It is who we are. What follows are tips and suggestions to help you embrace and accept your personality and hopefully make you feel happier in the process. I also consider the idea of changing your personality and end by a consideration of how well you know and accept yourself.

  • You could begin by taking a personality test. There are many available on the internet, or you can buy a book. Else you can take the time to reflect on who you are.
  • Try to do what feels right for you, not what you feel you are expected to do.
  • Do the things that deep down make you happy and you feel comfortable with.
  • Be yourself.
  • Try to find a job that suits your personality. Not doing so can make you feel very uncomfortable and unhappy.
  • Accept other people. Do not assume that your personality is the right one and anything else is incorrect.

Happiness for introverts

  • Make regular time for yourself.
  • Take time to unwind if you have been surrounded by large groups of people.
  • Keep a journal.
  • Stand by your beliefs. To do otherwise will make you unhappy.
  • Have hobbies that give you alone time.
  • Trust your intuition, it may help you make decisions.
  • Forget societal pressure to be more extroverted. Remember, extroversion is not who you are, so enjoy being you.
  • Allow extroverts to do their bit and feel comfortable doing what you do best.

Happiness for extroverts

  • Join a group or class.
  • Learn something new at every opportunity.
  • Set goals for yourself and relish the feeling of achievement.
  • Phone your friends and family.
  • Arrange regular activities with other people.
  • Do a job that allows you to work in a group and allows regular contact with others.
  • Remember that introverts are happy as they are, so try to appreciate them.

Changing your personalityYour ability to change your personality is one for debate. If you believe that genetics plays a large role in your personality development or that personality is developed during childhood and is now fixed, then the potential for change will be limited. However, what is important is that you embrace all elements of your personality. After all, you can at least change your attitude towards your personality. Think of how your different traits are strengths to you and then use them in positive ways.

If however, you believe that your personality can go on changing throughout life, then think about the changes that you would like to make. However, you should change what you want to change, rather than feeling compelled to change. Change can also be about stepping out of your comfort zone. As such, you may do things that you believe you simply cannot do. Having completed them however, such actions will be assimilated into who you are and as a consequence, your personality has undergone a subtle shift.

How well do you know yourself?

Which is correct? How you perceive yourself, or how others perceive you? Watch an episode of Big Brother and you are likely to see a person shocked at how other people in the house perceive them. There is a difference between how they regard themselves and how they are perceived.
Think about your own life. Have you ever been told something about yourself that surprised you? Did you reject it or reflect on it? Sometimes we may underestimate who we are, or reject qualities we do not want a part of. If the disparity seems quite frequent, maybe it is time to reflect on who you are and acknowledge all aspects of yourself.

Personality tips: what’s the difference between extroverts and introverts?

by on Oct.19, 2010, under Personality Development Tips

People are raised being taught that everyone is different. Each person is given their own personality. If everyone had the same personality type, the world would indeed be a boring place to live. There are many factors that define a person’s personality type. There are two extremes for each of these factors. One of these factors contains the two extremes known as extroverted and introverted. What exactly do these mean for a person?

What is extroverted?

Extroverted people are in the more outgoing group of people. They are the “social butterflies” of our society. They are the ones who are more apt to greet people and just join into the group that has already formed. An extrovert loves to be around other people. In fact, they often thrive on it.

Extroverts are also more likely to immerse themselves into the more fast paced jobs and other aspects of society. Slower jobs that take a long time to complete frustrate these types of people. They do not possess the patience to complete these tasks efficiently. They like a variety in their work with lots of change and lots of action. They do not mind being interrupted from their tasks by things such as a telephone call. Extroverts like to see the results of their jobs and enjoy seeing how other people do the same job. They are quick workers, but dislike jobs that are complicated.

Extroverts are also very good communicators especially verbally. With this there are also some downfalls, though. They often will act or speak quickly without thinking. This can sometimes be a dangerous thing often getting them into trouble. They also learn how to do things much better through their verbal communication and hands-on learning

What is Introverted?

Introverts are the exact opposites of extroverts in many ways. They are the shyer, quieter people of the world. They often have trouble remembering names and/or faces of people they have met. They prefer to work alone lost in their own thought rather than working with other people on a project. Introverts are often seen as the “loners” of society.

Introverts enjoy working on jobs that require a lot of thinking and that take long periods of time to complete. They are very detail oriented and think everything through thoroughly rather than making quick judgments about something. An introvert does not mind working on a single project for a long period of time and prefers to do so without any interruptions. They like for things to be quiet to aid in their concentration. They are also interested in the idea behind their job rather than how to do it.

Introverted people are better communicators through writing and other non-verbal techniques. They like to take the time to think before they speak and act and writing gives them the time that they need. Introverts sometimes have trouble getting their ideas across to others effectively. They find it easier to learn things through reading about it rather than experiencing it.

No matter which of these categories a person falls under, it is not a set stereotype. Many people carry attributes from both categories with varying degrees. A person labeled as one or the other does not need to hold true to the stereotype. Everyone is different. These are only the extremes on a wide spectrum of personality types and should be coupled with other factors to create a more accurate personality analysis.

Personality Tips: How to Overcome Shyness

by on Oct.19, 2010, under Personality Development Tips

Shyness affects many people. It can affect our ability to go to a job interview, or speak up in class, and our general everyday interaction with people.

Everyone feels a bit shy at one time or another. It is normal to feel shy or nervous in new situations or in front of an audience. Most people overcome this on their own and are still able to function normally.

However, there are many people who are unable to overcome their shyness. Severe shyness or “Personal Anxiety Disorder” sometimes require medication and therapy.

Disclaimer: Since I am not a therapist, I will not provide medical advice. Anyone who believes they have Social Anxiety Disorder should get professional help. The tips outlined in this article may provide some help for people with this disorder, but it is meant for showing people coping skills to deal specifically with shyness. Using the following tips may help you gain the confidence to approach people and actually strike up a conversation.

1. This may sound silly, but before you go out and approach a person, whether it is an aquaintance at work or a teacher, practice at home. Look in the mirror and say “Hello. How are you today?” If you practice enough, when you say it to the person, it will sound natural and it will feel natural to say it to the person.

2. Practice good posture and work on your smile. Even if still feel a bit shy, you will be more approachable and the person you intend to speak with may make the first move.

3. If you have a job interview, find someone you know to practice with. Sometimes community groups or employment programs offer sessions where you can do this. If you practice possible interview scenarios, you will be better prepared for the questions the potential employer might ask. You will be able to answer with confidence because you will know beforehand the answer that you wish to give.

4. Try joining a toastmaster’s club. They practice public speaking in supportive groups.

5. Join a support group to find other people with the same difficulty. The support groups are usually small, informal, and very friendly. They do their best to make you feel at ease. People who are or have already overcome their shyness can give the best advice because they have firsthand experience about what it is like to feel shy.

6. Self fulfilling prophesy: Look in the mirror when you wake up, say out loud what your goals for the day are (I will talk to the new guy/girl at work today, for example), then visualize your self actually doing it. If you feel you need more time, do it the night before as well, or take as much time as you need until you feel ready.

7. When you do take the step and actually strike up a conversation, go slowly. Talk about “safe” topics such as the weather or current events. Eventually you will notice that you will have something in common with the person you are talking to and the conversation will flow naturally. You will soon forget about your shyness.

8. Finally, the most important thing you can do to overcome shyness is to believe in yourself. You can do whatever you put your mind to.

When people have confidence, they are able to interact and meet with people, go after the jobs they want, and accomplish their goals. It is important to overcome shyness to be able to accomplish your goals.

Personality Development – 3 Tips To Master Your Personality

by on Oct.17, 2010, under Personality Development Tips

To enhance one’s personality, you will need to exert a lot of effort so that this will be achieved successfully. Take note that this is not a one-time endeavor; it is something that you will need to work on for a period of time.

Among the initial steps to take in order to build a good personality is to identify which areas need to be developed. To do so, you can carefully observe yourself and discover your own flaws, or you can also solicit feedback from people who care about you. Once you have figured it out and accepted it, you are on your way to becoming a better person.

This article aims to help you in your quest to develop a good personality by providing you with tips that you will find very useful. If you want to enhance your personality, you need to live by three basic, yet very important tips. These are: belief in the self, consistency, and practice.

Believe in Yourself

Have you ever told yourself that you cannot do it? When your superiors handed you a very difficult project in school or in the office, did you tell yourself that you are not capable of working on it? If you did, then most probably, you were not very successful with the project.

The first thing you should remember is that if you want to achieve a goal, you need to believe that you can actually make it happen. Nothing limits a man more than his own self. Once you develop a can-do attitude, everything else will follow.

Consistency is Key

As with most things, you need to be consistent if you want to see change or improvement. Again, you cannot make this happen overnight, it has to be a continuous effort on your part. Let us cite moodiness as an example. If you want to get rid of your moodiness, you cannot just say you will focus on it today and then forget about it tomorrow. You have to be consistent. You might say that it is quite impossible to always keep an eye on your moodiness, this is true. You cannot always control it. However, this is not what we mean by consistency.

Of course, you will tend to deviate from your goal every now and then, and this is normal and acceptable. What is required is that you make a conscious effort to try every day, little by little, to keep your moods in check. If you can do this for several weeks in a row, it will slowly become embedded in your mind until such time when it will just be a natural thing for you to do.

Consistency would also mean that when you try to develop a better personality, it should not be dependent on the situation or the occasion only. Regardless of the factors involved such as your current condition, the environment you are in, or the people you are with, you need to stick to what it is you are working on. If you are working on improving the way you dress, you should do so unconditionally.

Practice Makes Perfect

Practice is very important if you want to develop a better personality. Although it may not bring about a “perfect” personality because in reality there is no such thing, it will help to improve the one you already have. Just as athletes need to practice real hard everyday to progress in their craft, we too must not forget to keep working on our “improvement” on a regular basis.

As mentioned, personality development is not an easy feat. Along the way you will encounter a lot of hindrances and difficulties, which may, to some point, tempt you to quit and go back to your old self. You should not allow for this to happen, because if you do, all your efforts will only be in vain and you will not become the person that you have always wanted to be, in terms of personality.

If you keep these tips to heart, you will surely see a difference in yourself in just a matter of time. In the end, you will be thankful that you made a bold step towards self improvement.

Personality Development Tips – 9 Tips To A Better Personality

by on Oct.16, 2010, under Personality Development Tips

Personality Development quintessentially means enhancing and grooming one’s outer and inner self to bring about a positive change to your life. Each individual has a distinct persona that can be developed, polished and refined. This process includes boosting one’s confidence, improving communication and language speaking abilities, widening ones scope of knowledge, developing certain hobbies or skills, learning fine etiquettes and manners, adding style and grace to the way one looks, talks and walks and overall imbibing oneself with positivity, liveliness and peace.

The whole process of this development takes place over a period of time. Even though there are many crash courses in personality development that are made available to people of all age groups, implementing this to your routine and bringing about a positive change in oneself takes a considerable amount of time. It is not necessary to join a personality development course; one can take a few tips and develop his or her own aura or charm.

  • You may have heard this a million times “Think Positive”. It works.
  • Smile. And smile some more. It adds to your face value and to your personality as well.
  • Read a few articles in the newspaper loudly. This will help in communicating fluently.
  • Follow table manners and dining etiquettes
  • Take good care of your health, dress well, be neat and organized
  • Prepare a chart that mentions your strengths and weaknesses. Now concentrate on the latter and find ways to improve upon the same. Do not forget to strengthen your strengths.
  • Spend some time alone concentrating on you and yourself alone.
  • Practice meditation and yoga. It will help you develop inner peace and harmony that will reflect outside.
  • Do not live a monotonous life. Be creative and do something new all the time. Nothing bigger than the joy of creative satisfaction.

Personality development is gaining more and more importance because it enables people to create a good impression about themselves on others; it helps them to build and develop relationships, helps in your career growth and also helps to improve your financial needs.

After all, personality development is nothing but a tool that helps you realize your capabilities and your strengths making you a stronger, a happier and a cheerful person.
