Introduction

I'm so happy participating in this week's contest week four. I must say this week's topic is very important because our personal development are different and we shouldn't relent ourselves from making this self development positive.

Personal development

---

It's the ongoing act of an individual asssertion towards his or her goals and values and building those skills for an optimal potential.
These potentials can be strengthen through out their lives.

The best way of keeping track of my self development is by keeping a plan. No matter how old or young you're, it's always important to start a personal development plan.
A personal development plan helps to;
✳️ provide clear goal
✳️It helps me to identify my strengths and weaknesses
✳️It helps track your progress
✳️It improves your sense of purpose
✳️It enhances your mental well-being and reduces stress

For the sake our this contest;
My personal development are;

           1️⃣ Find a mentor

A mentor to me is someone who has been there, done the things I imagine doing, learned from his or her experiences and is willing to share that knowledge with me.

   **Qualities of a good mentor**

🔹 Availability
🔹 Patience
🔹 Knowledgeable
🔹 Inspiration
🔹 Confident

In steemit, I have admired and made two beautiful mentors in this community and I must say they're all the above qualities. The likes of @ngoenyi and @patjewell to mention but few.

Their blogging styles and their dedication is what attracts me to them and also their willingness to share their experiences with others. They've helped me alot and I know I'm picking and following their steps in my own way though I try and fall but I wouldn't give up.

           2️⃣ Reading

This can increases my knowledge and vocabulary and keeps me informed.
Unlike in the past where I hadn't joined steemit I usually download books from Amazon and for a month or so I get to read for improved vocabulary. I learned alot in this practice but not as I have gained in steemit.

In steemit, I can attest to beauty of the quality Posts I read on a daily basis and also how it has helped me in time management. I allocate a portion of my time in reading and learning new articles on steemit and also as a teacher, reading is of utmost importance because keeping myself abraised with knowledge keeps me updated in teaching my students.

Daily motivational post keeps my positive self together so I don't relent myself too.

        3️⃣ Learning a skill

As of my personal development, I love learning new skills and during my free time I like drawing and recently I learned a new skill. I chosed beading because I needed a skill that has full brain and fingers coordination.

I learned this craft during my birth maternity leave which happened that I wasn't used to sitting at home idle. This resorted me into picking a craft that I love so much.

            4️⃣ Network 

I interact with many people with positive impacts that I learn new ideas from. I try to keep only friends who can impact my life In a way or two. I also do try my utmost best to create positive Impacts in my own way I interact with different networks of people.

We meet in unexpected places and build relationships that create positive impact in our lives and future.

My network of friends in and out of Steemit is quite recommendable and you know what! I love making older persons as my friends since it's a give and take in the aspects of good values and impactful knowledge.

      5️⃣ Journal keeping

My way of writing a journey is by blogging in steemit. The diary game is the best place of my Journal writing and I'm a photogenic and I love keeping those pictures and events there. This helps me gain self-awareness and reflection on past events. I do assess my goals and progress through the different posts I made.

         6️⃣Meditation

I meditate to gain clarity and awareness and this reduces stress and too much anxiety. This gives me room for positive thoughts to help boost my self development and in a healthy way too.

Most importantly is the mediation of my ever living father, God ( Bible study) I'm grateful to him for everything I've got and all I will still have.
