Why PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT is ruining your life.

Why self improvement may be ruining your life...

Self help, personal development, they all mean the same thing, but these days it is all over social media and is sorta being taken to the extreme...We end up never taking action on that business idea, creative project, starting a YouTube channel etc because we are too busy journaling, meditating, saying affirmations, taking cold showers, refusing to think negative thoughts, breathwork, yoga, waking at 5am....

Totally agree, personal development is definitely not an easy journey and I think a lot of guru's are applying a cookie cutter model for everyone to follow, when in reality personal development is very individualistic. As you said some of these practices are really helpful for some but might not be the best for others. The key in our opinion is to understand yourself, what areas you need to work on and then strive to improve at your pace using methods that resonate more with you (while always remembering that it takes time and you will make a lot of mistakes a long the way haha). Anyways, really interesting video as always 😁

This really resonates with me! I also feel like so much of the personal development advice out there acts like there is a one size fits all approach. Which is just bullshit (to put it bluntly!) Like there is definitely an aesthetic to the whole approach, and I found it just didn’t work for me because it didn’t feel authentic doing it. I personally don’t find the sitting down and focusing on my breath kind of meditation with maybe some hippy music softly playing works for me…but playing black metal and walking around the park where I live really does 😂
It took me a while to accept this, and I know some people would disagree with me that it’s possible but it’s true. I eventually realised that I get far calmer and more in tune with myself doing it this way, and it made me more productive. Not everybody will find spiritual books and gentle yoga playlists helpful 🤷🏻‍♀️
