Good day dear Steemians, it's another beautiful day and I'm dropping my fourth entry for this week in this wonderful community @steemwomensclub. The topic I will be discussing today is what I usually do for my personal development. Not to waste your time, I will be sharing with you what I do for personal development.
Personal development is referred to as the activities done to improve oneself potential, talent, dreams and career. For anyone to be able to attain higher position or go a long way in this journey of life, there has to be development of our mind, brain and heart.
What I Do To Develop Myself
Reading: I do read series of novels, stories and books because I love to read, I believe learning continues everyday and we cannot be taught everything in school and church, so I cultivate this habit since I was in Senior secondary school, studying ahead helps me to perform well in my exams, since then I continue doing it. I do buy novels, download PDF and sometimes I read online. This habit helps me in improving myself and preparing me for the future.

Exercise: I'm not a fan of rigorous exercise but I enjoyed walking everyday for like an hour or two. I understand the benefit of being fit, so I do ensure I walk for at least 1 hour everyday so as to keep myself fit. Just two weeks ago, I downloaded Aglet app, it's a fitness App where we were giving a sneaker to walk, our steps will be calculating and we will be rewarded with sneakers and tokens as one attains another steps stage.
Fitness App
Understanding Who I Am:This is where most of us make mistakes, we want to do things like someone without finding out if it will be a good idea for you or not. I understand myself and my body system, I do ensure I have a good sleep of at least 8hours out of 24hours, and sometimes I took nap, because failure to do so, I might not be able to get some things right or think straight at the moment when I feel sleepy. I do tell my friends that I don't read when I am feeling sleepy, but allow to me take a short nap for like 30minutes before I started reading because I will be able to think, digest and understand quickly. Also I ensure I eat very well, it might not be much but I do eat healthy food and drink.
At Church
Association with People: I don't do best friends and I don't associate myself with people that can ruin me or those that cannot benefit me in anything. I love having productive interactive sections with my friends, discussing and asking questions about so many things that can help me and contribute to my growth, not going about discussing parties and how to slay.
Good Relationship with God: This has helped me to develop myself so much in whatever situation I find myself because there is always an answer studying the word of God and fellowship with him. It encourages me never to give up and I should keep going, the word contains peace and assurance of a better tomorrow.
Helping People: I love assisting people in any way I can, be it financially, caring for and encouraging people, other assistance like assisting them in their work, and so on. There are many times have assisted my co-workers while working and I'm less busy, to do the cleaning aspect of their job. I was able to get calculator for one of our cleaners daughter, assist the watchman with the little I could afford when he needed help and many more. Doing this makes me happy and fulfilled.
Reminiscing about the Journey: Whenever I feel down and things are not working as I want, Thinking about my beginning helps in analysing God's goodness in my life and also encourages me to keep pushing and striving to see the betterment of myself. It challenges me to achieving great things in life because giving up is never an option for me.
Recommendation
To Develop oneself, dreams and career, one must ensure we keep on learning, reading books, attending seminars and acquiring knowledge we need in the journey of of our life and career.
Keep the body healthy by eating good food, fruits, drinking enough water, have adequate sleep and exercising our body.
Associating oneself with people that has potential and positive mindset
Lastly, one must have a good relationship with God.
Conclusion
In the contest today, I explained all what I usually do to improve myself, physically by doing exercise, have a good sleep and eat well which keeps me healthy, mentally by associating with good friends and reading which helps in acquiring knowledge and spiritually by having a fellowship with God and meditating on the words of God because the word of God is life and answer to any situation we find ourselves. This is where I will be stopping for now. Thank you for reading.

Hola @temitopef; Es bastante importante recordar las experiencias fuertes que hemos superado para poder avanzar, pero que tal si hay una experiencia en el momento que es la que consideras más fuerte de toda tu vida?? acá sólo toca ir viendo cómo va e ir defendiéndose.
I don't seems to understand what your question is, but I believe everyone has both good and bad experience and we have to learn from our experience and not to allow it to affect our future. I never allow my experience to overwhelmed me by giving up.
Thank you very much @temitopef for the invitation, truth be told, you have been my motivation lately, thanks a lot
Awnnnnn 🤗, I'm so happy to hear that. I hope to see your entry soon.
Definitely, my entry won't take long, meanwhile, Kindly drop a review on my contest
You've actually proven to be a reader, i sensed greatness in you because of the materials you are visiting.
Indeed we can never be taught all in school.
I loved it when you said you understood yourself because knowing who you are, is what will make you know areas in your life that should be improved.
You are right my friend, I don't just follow multitude, I follow what I want and what will benefit me and it has helped me because I'm able to stand on my own. Thank you for reading my post babe.
"Understanding who I am"! This is the key element of our lives.
If we don't know who we are we cannot grow, not physically, not mentally and not spiritual.
Darn, it not only takes a lot to understand yourself but it takes a lot to be happy with who you are.
Good luck for the contest!
You are right, we cannot grow if we fail to understand who we are, our strength and abilities differs, so is our social life. Understanding Who we are will help our development in life. Thank you for reading.
Hello, no doubt that a few hours of sleep does a lot for our health and beauty, I vote for that haha, because I never lose my afternoon hours of rest.Reading enriches not only the intellect but the spirit, as well as our faith in God that should always accompany us, a hug.
You are right, good sleep helps our health, beauty and keep us sane. Thank you for reading.
Keep learning and having targets will help you to develop your self as you said. Healthy food always creates a healthy man.
