Grow Big, Tall and Deep – The Carnival of Personal Development

January 18, 2007 by Ben Yoskovitz

Personal development means different things to different people. There are so many ways to grow.

The Carnival of Personal Development at Balanced Life Center reminds us of that with a bevy of interesting posts on improving your lot in life.

Here are some ideas, inspired in part by the Carnival of Personal Development

  • Try shrinking. It might sound like the opposite of growing, but it works.
  • Don’t be George Constanza. This was my entry into the Carnival about playing to your strengths.
  • Know your emotions. If you’re experiencing emotional highs and lows you’re in luck – that’s normal. But the inevitable loss of motivation after a huge surge of inspiration is tough just the same.
  • Give hypnosis a try. Why not right? It might work. Kudos to Kavit for attracting my eye with this post headline, “Top 5 Things You Should Know About Hypnosis.”
  • Visualize success. The University of Florida football team did it and you can too. You can achieve your goals with 3 types of visualization.
