Personal growth and development are the building blocks for improving your life – irrespective

of which aspects of your life you are intent on improving. Most of us have a deep seated desire

to improve (who doesn’t make New Year’s resolutions?), yet far too many of us fail to reach

our goals.

There can be numerous reasons for this, although those that have achieved their goals might

view these as excuses rather than valid reasons.Whatever your viewpoint, I think you’ll

agree that it is both frustrating and demoralising when you realise that having

set some goals and been all fired up,you find that once again your best intentions have

come to nothing.

What makes this so common?

1) Time constraints.

We are so busy being busy these days that more often than not we just don’t get round to doing

the important stuff. A strange human condition, but very common.

2) Focus.

This goes hand in hand with time constraints. We rarely spend enough time focusing on

the things that will be of benefit to us. Your personal growth and development will never happen

without you focusing on what needs to be achieved.

3)Effort.

As nice as it would be, deep down we all know that to get something, you have to put in

some effort. Unfortunately, in today’s world, this is not a very popular theme.

4) Distractions.

The flip side of focus. There are just too many other things out there that will demand

our attention if we are not careful. When this happens I always find it useful to remind myself

that they want my attention for THEIR benefit, not mine!

5)Personal programming.

From a very young age, and mostly without

realising it, we accumulate knowledge of what is “normal” – a sort of default setting

that we become comfortable with. This programming is very strong and is there to protect us

from getting hurt.

Unfortunately the negative side of this is that if we are to change and improve, we need to

lift ourselves out of this comfort zone. We thus find ourselves in a tug of war between what

our subconcious knows is “safe” and what we conciously know we need to do to make our lives

better.

No prizes for guessing which side usually wins!

The good news for anyone wanting to overcome barriers to personal growth and development

is that you don’t need to have a brain transplant or emigrate to another world.

All you need do is find someone who has already done the hard work and found ways

to conquer the barriers and then follow their advice and guidance.It really is that easy!

We are all positive in nature. We all tend to lean on positivity rather than to negativity. But what makes us lean more on to the negative side sometimes? Is it automatic or is it even really a part of us? What are the barriers that keep us from growing? There are many factors that hinder our growth and personal development and unfortunately, we just don’t notice most of them.

1. Being closed-minded. We are sometimes so narrow-headed that our minds are shut down to opinions and fresh ideas. We are so enclosed in our comfort zones and as a result makes us short in understanding.

2. Poor time management. It is obvious that if we don’t use our time properly, everything will just go to waste. Imagine the buildup of a plan. What will happen if you set goals but fail to hit the exact timeframe of execution? Nothing. All the planning and build up for success will just crumble down without proper time management and that is for sure. Be ahead of time and you’ll benefit from it.

3. Distractions. We give in to distractions so easily which takes our personal progress off track. They seem to affect us most when we are bombarded with problems. If we’ve been doing something really great to develop ourselves, why would we want that to stop abruptly?

Try not to be swayed and keep your focus on what you need to do. This is the only way to develop and attain growth. Growth and development only happens if we let it happen. If you are not open to improvement, your development ends.

In summary, remain open, listen to fresh ideas, plan systematically and don’t give in to distractions. You might be surprised what will happen if you practice these simple tips to overcome the barriers that stop your development.
