Personality Development Guide
“PersonalityDevelopment”. what do you mean by personality development? Is it
something about how you look, or how you speak? Or is it how easily you can
connect with people? Personality development is none of these. Or somewhere it
is all of it. In order to survive in today’s world one needs to be smart and
quick-witted all the time. It’s no longer just about how much effort you put
into your work but one’s personality also has a lot to do with what one
achieves. Here is some guidance:
- Know yourself
Obviously
before you get on developing something you need to know all about it first. The
same goes with your personality. One needs to start with taking a good look at
themselves, analyzing their traits, the strengths and weaknesses and everything
that needs to be worked upon. Don’t shy away from accepting your flaws and
learn about yourself as much as you can.
- Bring positivity in your outlook
Your
thoughts and your actions both need to be positive in order to have an
attractive personality. The way we think has a lot of effect on the way how we
act. And if one prospers positive thoughts inside his mind then that also gives
him a confidence boost and enhances their personality. Situations and
circumstances in life can always be full highs and lows. But in order to adopt
a positive outlook towards life, you need to find the brighter side of the
things and focus on the good parts.
- Have an opinion
Having an
opinion and being able to confidently put it forward doesn’t just help making
your conversations interesting but it also makes you look more influential and
well informed around other people. Never shy away from projecting your opinions
even if they happen to conflict with those of other people. Be well informed
about all the relevant stuff in your surrounding and fell free to have
opinions. It will make yourself feel important too
- Meet new people
Meeting new
and different kinds of people is a healthy step towards expanding your horizons
and exposing yourself to a larger number of things. You get an opportunity to
know more about other cultures and lifestyles and it significantly has a
positive effect on your own personality.
- Read more often and develop new interests
A man of
very few interests has very little to talk about. But if you are well informed
about things and cultivate a number of interests, more people tend to like you.
You can strike up interesting conversations instead of appearing to be dull and
monotonous. When you meet new people you do not have to think about what to say
as you can share your knowledge or your interests and get them indulged in
conversation.
- Be a good listener
“Most people
do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to
reply.” True it is. Being a good
listener may not seem like but it is an important step towards achieving a more
likable personality. When somebody talks to you, listen with interest and give
them all the attention and importance. Maintain a direct eye contact and do not
get distracted by the surroundings. It will help you in knowing a better deal
about people and attending them in a better way.
- Be a little fun
Oh yes, this
is necessary! Being able to find a humorous side in otherwise terrible
situations and bringing a little quirkiness of your own is appreciated by one
and all. Everybody loves a person who can make them laugh and bring a funny
perspective to the regular things of life. One does not need to be all serious
and sober all the time but adorning your funny hat (not literally) every once
in a while will turn you in to a more charming personality.
- Be courteous
Being
courteous is never out of fashion and is well appreciated and respected by
everyone. Be humble and greet everyone with a smile. Never shy away from
helping or supporting your peers and being available to them whenever they need
you. Doing random acts of kindness will not just make somebody else’s day but
it will also make you come along as a pleasing person. Also it will give your
personality a confidence boost. Be humble and down to earth to your juniors and
seniors alike.
- Work on your Body Language
Body
language is just as important for your personality as your verbal communication
skills. It tells a lot about yourself and helps people in making accurate
conjectures about you. Everything including the way you walk, sit, talk or eat
leaves an impact over the people around you and having a correct body language
can do wonders for your personality. Walk in an upright position with shoulders
straight. Do not droop. Sit in a relaxed posture and make always eye contact
while speaking.
- Check your attire
I am not
abruptly beginning to emphasize about your exterior self instead of your skills
and abilities but one’s attire has an important role to play while making a
desirable impression. And not just that, but it also gives yourself a
confidence boost knowing that you look good and are dressed appropriately.
Dress up in a decent manner and keeping your surroundings in mind. While flashy
colors and too much body tattoos or piercings convey an unprofessional attitude,
neatly ironed clothes make you look presentable.
- Be yourself
Though one
can always look up to other people to take an inspiration from, but you should
still remain your own unique self. Each one of us is different, we have our own
sets of skills and flaws and trying to be somebody else gets you nowhere and
just simply backfires. Trying too hard to fit in a new group or wanting to
belong should never take your authenticity and singularity away. Never try
moulding into another person but instead work on being the best version of
yourself.
- Be confident
Yes, that’s
the key. Being confident about who you are and what you are doing is the most
important tip for personality development. Never doubt your capabilities and if
there is something you need to work upon then put in all the effort so you can
come over your fears and gain confidence. Read success stories or surround
yourself with motivational thoughts or “encouragements” which can boost up your
self esteem and help you in attaining a charming personality. Just everything
you do, have faith in yourself and put in your hard work. There can be nothing
more appealing in your personality than an incredible confidence.
