Personal
Development Online
Can it Help Your Relationships?
Personal
development online can help your relationships, plus other areas, when
you find the right transformational training. I've found a
terrific positive thinking course that...
Not only
gave me the key to better relationships, but
encouraged me on a daily basis to improve my relationship with myself
by devoting quality time for personal development for my own life.
The
program talked about the
“one” thing that people do that damage and destroy
relationships and addressed how to fix that issue...
And
I realized the true nature of love, which was a great surprise because
I thought I already knew about love.
Has it changed
my relationships?
Yes!
Just now as I'm writing this
page, my cat wants on my lap. The “old
me” would have let him "move in" and take over my lap, but
would not been happy about it because he'd be
slowing down my work...
The
“new me' is
still "letting him move in," but instead of putting my work first, I'm
receiving his love and affection with gratefulness and appreciation!
Here's
his picture....
As far as the personal development online
program goes, I
kept notes as I ventured through the positive thinking course [which
ended up being much more than "just positive thinking"] and have posted
them in
various articles on this site.
Here are
my thoughts as I
experienced week five of the eight-week course and how I felt as I
experienced
this week of the personal development online program...

MY
THOUGHTS AS I PROGRESS THROUGH
WEEK FIVE:
I'm over half
done now and while I've been
enjoying the course, I had some resistance today to the first exercise
thinking it was “silly.”
However,
what I learned from that "silly" exercise was the true nature of love
that will absolutely change my relationships!
By
doing this “silly” exercise, I've gotten a much
greater sense of what true relationships are all about.
Lots
of people talk about the importance of love, but so far this course has
allowed me to "discover" it for myself... with "silly" exercises like
this one with the cork.
That's what I like about
this
course, it's not "preaching" to me. Instead, it's giving me
scientific evidence of how relationships affect my life and my health,
and then giving me exercises to "discover whatever I need" to
discover.
Because that's
different for everyone, this course acts like a guide that prompts me
to look at a subject from a different angle. And so far,
every time I've broken through that "I don't want to waste the time to
do this silly exercise" and have done it, the more benefit I've
received...
how interesting...
And the more fun it's been too!
Another
thing that I like about this course, now that I'm half way through, is
how it allows me to take quiet time with myself every day and focus on
developing different aspects of my life.
I'm not
worried about what's for dinner, or what anyone else around me
needs.
All I'm doing is focusing on myself and getting daily encouragement
from people who are generally happy and who want me to succeed...
So
I'm building a better relationship with myself, which builds better
relationships with those people around me.
Here's an
excerpt from my journal
[private parts removed] from that “silly” exercise,
that ended up having a very profound effect:
MY JOURNAL
When
I started the exercise, I was hit with the resistance of "this is
silly, why should I think about a cork?"
But,
as I've promised myself, I am staying open to each exercise and doing
it and seeing what happens.
It didn't
take long. My imagination started "small" with one cork,
watching it bob along in the ocean. Then I used a tidal wave
to try and suppress it, but it worked its way back to the
top. Which can be seen as a crisis trying to suppress love,
but it didn't.
Then I pictured a scuba diver taking
the cork and holding it while swimming downward. That was
interesting. I felt the tension in my hand as I was trying to
hold down the cork. It created tension and
pressure. It wanted to get back to the top. Its
natural state is at the top and it fights to be there. It's
we who interfere with it and suppress it, which isn't
natural.
What I got out of
this exercise is how important it is to have lots of relationships -
loving relationships - around me. To find a sea of love into
which to dive. I've realized the true nature of love and
understand how to let it naturally develop in my relationships.
This
week was chuck full of
"silly" exercises that really opened my eyes to ways to improving my
relationships.

Summary
When
you're
looking at doing personal development online, you'll want to keep in
mind that many online personal development courses are just that...
online only.
A much better approach is to use
audio cds, online interactive media as well as positive thinking
seminars and other conference calls weekly to keep you “in
touch” with a positive community, which was included in this
program.
UPDATE:
Sorry to say, the
terrific personal development online program that I'm discribing in
this article is no longer
available. But, below is a really cool program that helps you
develop a better relationship with yourself by finding your own core
beliefs that are stopping your life from working the way you want it to
work...
This
program goes beyond just
"positive thinking" because it
teaches you how to find your limiting beliefs and how to create your
own custom affirmations to overcome them.
It also
uses
"invisible" subliminal recordings and guided hypnosis meditations to
help you become more open to helping yourself change.
Let's
see what happens in Week
Six...

Thinking Course: Is One Worthwhile?
A
positive thinking course is a great avenue to explore if you can find a
good one. I found one that was supposed to have been the premiere
product in the industry. But as I started, I wondered...
