Why Is Self Development Important?

Sometimes, when all our doubts, fears and insecurities overwhelm us, we start thinking, “I wish I was somebody else.” It is very common to think that some or most people are better than us, especially when we are feeling low. The truth is often very different.

You might see a very pretty girl sitting by herself at a party, casually sipping on a glass of Asti Spumanti. You think to yourself, “she looks so perfectly calm and confident.” But if you could read her mind, you might see a very different story.

She might be thinking, “Are people talking about why I am seated here alone? … Why don’t guys find me attractive? … I don’t like my ankles, they look too skinny … I wish I was as intelligent as my best friend.”

We look at a successful young business entrepreneur and say “Whoa … what else could he ask for?” He stares at himself at the mirror and says to himself, “I hate that I still have acne … I wonder why my friends won’t talk to me any more … I wish mom and dad could have worked things out.”

We Sometimes Fight Self Confidence

Isn’t it funny? We look at other people, envy them for what seems to us to be their perfect lives and wish we could trade places with them, while they look at us and think the same thing. We are insecure about other people who themselves are probably insecure about us.

We suffer from low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence and lose faith in self development because we are enveloped in quiet desperation.

Why Is Self Development Important?

So it can happen that we can spend all our time obsessing about what seem to us to be our negative points when they really don’t matter to anybody else. At the same time, we might have a seriously irritating habit that we are not even aware of.

I have a friend who never gets tired of talking. And in most conversations, she is the only one who seems to be interested in the things she has to say. So people tend to avoid our circle whenever she’s around. Not only is this a social handicap for her, but it also irritates anybody who is with her, that they cannot speak to anybody else while she is there.

One key to self improvement is to LISTEN and TALK to a trusted friend. Find someone who you are comfortable about opening up with on even the most sensitive topics you want to discuss. Ask questions in a way that makes it possible for the other person to tell you what is really happening.

You could say, “Do you think I would get along better if I were more polite to people?”, “Do I tend to sound argumentative?”, “Do I talk too loud?”

This signals to the other person that you are interested in self development. Usually, she will hesitate to tell the truth right away. She will probably say “No,” because she doesn’t want you to feel bad. If you just repeat that back to her as a question, “No?” she will probably expand on it and then you may begin to get at the truth.

Take Criticism From Friends Seriously, They Try To Help

Of course it’s important to accept any comments or criticisms that she makes. You may feel hurt but try not to show it or she will not want to tell you more. Then you may want to check out the results with other people, because that person may not be seeing you clearly either.

One of Whitney Houston’s songs says “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.” True enough. In order to love others, you must love yourself too. Remember, you cannot give what you do not have.

Before telling other people how to improve themselves, let them see that you yourself are following the path of self development. Self improvement makes us better people, more open to the world around us. We then inspire other people, and eventually the rest of the world will follow.

It is vital to stop thinking of yourself as a second-rate being. Forget the repetitive thought of “If only I was richer … if only I was thinner” and so on. Accepting your true self is the first step to self improvement.

We need to stop comparing ourselves to others and accept that everybody is valuable for the different contributions that they make to the world.

We all have our insecurities. Nobody is perfect. We always wish we had better things, better features, better body parts, etc. But life need not to be perfect for people to be happy about themselves. Self development and loving yourself is not a matter of shouting to the whole world that you are perfect and you are the best. It’s the virtue of acceptance and contentment. When we begin to improve ourselves, we then begin to feel contented and happy.

‘Wearable nutrition’ sweeps the market but experts are sceptical

Consumer New Zealand is warning people against a wellbeing company touting a “revolutionary wearable nutrition” product that claims to feed supplements through a skin patch.

Experts here are sceptical and Consumer New Zealand has labelled the patches expensive and not credible, but users of Le-Vel’s Thrive range say their lives have changed and they are bounding out of bed in the mornings thanks to the US-based health company’s products.

The patches claim to help with weight management, sleep and mood, and are recommended to be taken alongside its other products. They contain a mixture of coffee, garcinia cambogia, green tea, guarana, white willow bark and herbal extract Forslean.

The website says the products slowly release its formula through the skin, in “derma fusion technology” and its Facebook page features “thrivers” showing off colourful patches on their body with glowing testimony from its users.

But Consumer NZ research head Jessica Wilson said it hadn’t seen “any good evidence to support the claims on the company’s website”. “These are pricey products without any credible research to back-up the health claims being made,” she said.

“Our advice to consumers would be to spend their money on food, not overpriced supplements.”

Aucklander Taryn Crewe said she had been using the patches with a capsule and a shake daily for the past two years and had so much energy she ran a marathon last year.

She was aware of scepticism from nutritionists but said she had done her research and that the results spoke for themselves.

“Yes there is the whole natural route and eating well, but I think it’s unrealistic in today’s busy life — I leave for work at 7.30am and get home at 7pm.

“It’s a long day. Food is not as natural as it used to be and you have to eat so much of it to get the right amount of vitamins.”

South Islander Megan Jones said she had “huge amounts of energy” after wearing the patches and was unperturbed by scepticism.

“I’m finding it’s not as efficient as it was but it’s still great. I kind of took a stab at it after seeing it on Facebook. It really was just to give me energy and it has totally done that,” she said.

She no longer drank coffee and was out of bed at 6am, she said.

Auckland University of Technology senior nutrition lecturer Dr Caryn Zinn said the claim people could derive nutrients through a patch was dubious.

“There’s not one hint of science that I can see,” she said. “My advice would be for people to be very wary … you don’t suddenly get weight loss by taking a pill or putting something through the skin.”

Similar products are on the online market, including Vitamin C and Vitamin B patches, and Invigorate consultant dietician Dr Kirsty Fairburn said there had been studies on patches used for skincare.

However, scientific literature databases made no mention of the use of trans-dermal vitamin technology, she said. People worried about their health, weight or energy levels were better off spending the money on seeing a dietician, she said.

A Ministry of Health spokesman said Medsafe was not aware of the product and Medsafe had not assessed it for safety, quality or effectiveness.

Under medicines regulations therapeutic claims could not be made about a medicine unless it has been approved for supply or was otherwise supplied in compliance with the Medicines Act 1981, he said.

Le-Vel’s website claims it has amassed nearly half a billion dollars in revenue in 2016 and nearly as many customers.

According to the website, Thrive’s premium lifestyle patches start at $90 for a pack of 30 patches, and go up to $128.

Representatives of the company have not responded to approaches for comment.

In 2015 the company was warned by the United Kingdom’s Advertising Standards Authority after a complaint was laid about its promotion of a health drink.
