A person's own “I” is a source of internal resources, a support. Having this support, a person is confident in himself, is adequate in all situations, is free to choose and feels a sense of happiness. Usually, role attitudes, an idea of one's goals, values, one's own significance, personal strength, and ways of responding to problems are put into the concept of "I". Only after deciding what you understand by your "I", what you lack, you can look for ways of self-development.
Instructions
Step 1
Take an active position of the doer, the creator of your own destiny. A person's own "I" develops, asserts itself and manifests itself only in action. Stop feeling like a victim, a weak person, or a flawed person. This belief robs you of your own energy. Your inner world is perfect enough and you can use any resource for your needs. The main thing is to act, not suffer!
Step 2
Take responsibility for your actions, decisions, and emotions. Be aware of how your beliefs, perceptions, and feelings affect your behavior. And how you are perceived by other people. Be prepared to change beliefs, attitudes, if you need it.
Step 3
Make and fulfill reasonable obligations to others. Commitments should not run counter to your interests, or to the detriment of you, otherwise they are unreasonable. On the contrary, in moderation, they can give you a sense of your own strength and self-satisfaction.
Step 4
Develop your independence. Independence in everything: in behavior, actions, thinking speaks of a formed, strong inner core of a person. Learn to analyze the situation, seek information and make decisions on your own. Be prepared to be responsible for your decisions. Both victories and defeats will be equally yours, deserved. Take this.
Step 5
Look for your mission, set goals and objectives for yourself. A purposeful person is active and infects others. This is the manifestation of the strength of the personality, the strength of one's own "I". This is not done lying on the couch, for this you need to move, act, make attempts, try yourself in different activities, analyze the experience. Take some time for yourself to sit down and think about where to go next, what you want. Take action again. Use various exercises, meditations, creativity in order to express your "I".
Step 6
Direct your energy and strength not to protect yourself, but to cooperate with others, use the power of your "I" to influence people. Look for constructive methods of solving conflicts, problems. Learn to manage your emotions. Take an interest in other people's lives - what they want, what they live, what they strive for.
Step 7
Develop your personal view of the world, form beliefs, opinions. To do this, read more, communicate with others, be interested in what is happening, develop your interests. Give equal attention to both physical and spiritual self-improvement.
Step 8
Treat others with interest and respect. Take the best from others, learn from strong and successful people. Respect other people's interests, points of view. But know how to keep your view of situations and things. Never assert yourself at the expense of other people, do not compare yourself with others.
Step 9
Develop your sense of humor. Be positive and cheerful. Learn to have fun at ease. For your "I", these are ideal conditions for development.
