Layers of Personality Development
Personality development is a very complicated topic
on its own. There are numerous definitions of personality development.
Personality in its simplest definition is a combination of mental, physical and
also behavioral characteristics and also characteristic patterns that we
display in our life. Most people tend not to understand what personality
development is and others go to an extent of ignoring its meaning in life.
Personality is recognized mostly in the fields of profession. You will find
that most firm train their stuff on various skills like communication skills,
leadership and also skills on how to be creative and many other skills. These
are what they refer to as personality development.
This is true but that truth is that they
have not covered personality development in a deeper perspective. This is
because they have only dealt with the external part of personality development.
The most vital part in this field is the body and the mind. There are so many
books which are being sold in the markets which talk about ways of winning and
being happy, but the question that you should ask yourself is how many people
read them? These books will only talk about positive thinking but people do not
know how. Thinking will not make you positive, you need to act on your
thinking. You have to tune your mind and also do a lot of practice on the same.
You have got to have a strong foundation of the mind and body for you to come
up with a greater personality development.
The first move in personality development
is to admit that you have to improve your personality. Yoga also plays a big
role in personality development. Yoga states that the human body is made up of
five layers. The first layer is the conscious layer, these is the layer that is
related to the things that we do with our physical body like walking and
talking. The second layer is the subconscious layer which deals with the
physical activities that we do in our subconscious like digestion in the
stomach. The third layer is the mental layer which is related to thoughts, mind
and also emotions.
There is also the intellectual layer
which is the layer that decides on what is right and what is wrong. The last
layer is the blissful. This is the layer that relates to our joy and happiness.
When we do a deep meditation called Samadhi we get this joy. You will realize
that all these layers affect our personality in one way or the other. Our
personalities are categorized according to conscious physical personality,
subconscious, mental, intellectual and spiritual personality.
