Happy Friday, everyone
Does the self-help method be effective? Does self talk makes you appear crazy? Does reading books on this topic help you in any way? I’m going to share my thoughts on whether the self-help method works or if it’s just a waste of time.
First of all, I’m not a therapist. I’m not even a specialist when it comes to self-help. If you need self-help remedies, don’t come to me for help. Today, I’m just sharing whether it has worked for me today and in the past. Do your own research if necessary.
So what is self-help? Google’s definition : 1. designed to assist people in achieving things for themselves. 2. the use of one’s own efforts and resources to achieve things without relying on others. Wikipedia’s definition: Self-help or self-improvement is a self-guided improvement[1]—economically, physically, intellectually, and emotionally—often with a substantial psychological basis.
Wikipedia’s definition is more straightforward in meaning. Self-help can be achieved in groups, books, or seminars in person or online. Focus groups or any groups with the same goals as yours can be coined as self-help for your needs.
My history with the self-help methods goes a long way. It started when I was involved with multi-level marketing. I was at the level in my group of reading at least three books a month and listening to audio tapes as well as part of the program. These books were designed to motivate and stimulate my mind. Motivation played an intricate part in this program, especially when not with my group or physically with the company that I was involved with. Company or group meetings, seminars, and conferences were the actual physical involvement at the time. After that, books and audio tapes when not physically involved. Books and audio tapes were the motivation to keep the momentum going when I’m alone or not physically with the company. These were part of the self-help materials.
So did the above books and tapes worked. At the moment, I believe that I was doing all the steps to be successful with the company. The books were the general positive mind stimulants, while the audio tapes were made by the gurus within the company at the level that I strive to get to. Yes, the books and audio tapes were very effective to keep me motivated.
Self-help is not for everyone. Some people don’t like to be told what to do if it’s not coming from their employer. Well, for money, of course. By the way, money is not a good motivator. If so, many more people will be wealthy today. Many may opt to go via the traditional method: get a degree or learn a skill rather than seek self-help. Self-help is different. Self-help is non-traditional. It is like therapy for the mind and body. Admiting that you need help is the start to seeking self-help.
If you should seek self-help. There are many affiliated programs that offer this service, like the one I was involved with. If not, read some inspirational books. Listen to seminars or podcasts on topics that you like. Check out like-minded groups in social media or on the web. The more you get involved, the better the results will be, but you will have to diligently seek this out and be desperately in need of it. This is the program that could last you a lifetime if you choose.
Since I am no longer with the marketing company, I no longer listen to audio tapes or read books anymore. My motivation is internal. Whatever I learned over the five years of reading and seminars has been tattooed on my heart and in my mind. The self-help method has opened my eyes to see the world more clearly, to think positive in all that I do… to be disciplined. My work ethic has changed dramatically in my workplace and on my personal endeavors over the years because of it. I believe that I can achieve greatness in anything I do. Life is more meaningful each day since I seeked self-help for my mind and body.
Thanks for reading.
