What does self-development consist of?
As we found out, self-development is an activity that is aimed at satisfying human needs. But in order to better understand what it is, you need to understand what types, directions and methods of self-improvement exist. It can be divided into several areas:
- Physical development – development of the body, strength, muscles, endurance
- Physiological development – improvement of health, expressed in a beneficial effect on various body systems (cardiovascular, digestive, nervous, reproductive, etc.)
- Mental development – development of abilities, competencies, skills, abilities through gaining new experiences and sensations, working with perception, thinking, memory, feelings and imagination
- Social development - the development of abilities and skills, skills and qualities that allow you to climb the career ladder, transition between social strata, improve interpersonal relationships, increase social status, authority
- Spiritual development - knowledge and awareness of oneself, the search for the meaning of life and one’s purpose, taking responsibility for everything that happens to oneself and other people, attempts to understand the nature of the universe and reveal one’s hidden potential, a constant desire for moral and ethical self-improvement
- Intellectual development – development of thinking through obtaining new information, developing new skills and qualities, increasing literacy, exploring new directions and areas of knowledge
- Professional development – increasing and developing professional skills, qualities and abilities, studying new technologies and areas of work, obtaining additional education
The need for self-development can be classified as spiritual (or ideal), but it can manifest itself at absolutely any level. It depends on the direction chosen by the person. No less interesting is the fact that, to a certain extent, each of us is engaged in self-development, and often without even thinking about it and without going into the details of what exactly he is doing.
At a subconscious level, a person chooses the direction that evokes a response in his inner world. And in some cases, the direction dictates the need to acquire certain skills to satisfy certain needs. But the most effective (and also time-consuming) is the conscious choice of the path. And movement along it will always (unless, of course, you want to act chaotically and anyhow) occur in certain stages and obey an action plan.

Self-development proceeds on the basis of the formation of certain knowledge. To gain knowledge, you need to read books and articles, that is, obtain valuable information that can later be used to achieve your goals. The process of self-development can only begin if you have already been able to choose the right direction for your actions. We recommend that you join a group in contacts, for example - https://vk.com/moneysecrets, or https://vk.com/dr.house4you. Or you can turn your attention to the official group of Alexander Sviyasha https://vk.com/club_alexandra_sviyasha, who is considered a true master of spiritual balance. That is, in fact, unlimited possibilities open up before you. All you need to do is use these opportunities in your own development.
