Personal Development Plan

By Dania Davila

To achieve what I set out to do when I finish my

diploma and return to Mexico, I have a list of things to do:

1. The most important is continue with my psychotherapy

2. Be a mom

3. Be my own boss

4. Return to my old sport habits

5. Read Homer´s Odyssey

My strategies and plans to achieve my goals:

1. For any goal or desire in life, a healthy mind and heart are very important. My

advances throughout 4 years of therapy are: It made me feel better about myself: I

was able to freely express all your feelings and sensations, and by doing so, it was

the first step to feeling better. It empowered me and gave me more confidence:

The therapist's main goal is for you to be completely independent of anyone, even

him. In therapy we looked for everything to make him accept and love me, to be

able to change everything that is affecting you. You will know yourself better:

Psychological therapy is a long process in which you will question everything you

believed about yourself. In this way, I knew the root of everything that

overwhelmed me and the way it makes me feel; as long as you manage to find a

solution. It is a space of trust: You will be able to freely express everything you feel

in psychological therapy; your problems, feelings, frustrations and everything that

affects your mental health. A psychologist will never judge you; he will listen to you

empathically and help you overcome it. From the first session I felt free. I feel that

therapy is without dates or limits because we always face new challenges or

difficulties.

2. I decided to be a mother to experience the purest and most sublime love of all. It

is love for life, the one that is given without hesitation, totally selfless, the one that

accompanies forever. It transforms us into the happiest and most complete beings.

Women have been blessed by the Lord. Being a mother is the best and most

wonderful gift I could receive. My husband and I decided to expand our family next

year, already established in Mexico.

3. To be my own boss I have a plan after finishing my diploma: to work for two

years in a job offer that they already made me as coordinator of new projects in a

plastic assembly company. Save, save and save. The project consists of taking the

idea of bubble tea to Mexico, and I researched and there are similar businesses

but I am full of new ideas, in addition to studying a little marketing at university as a

complement to extracurricular tasks. To do all this, it is essential to know rental

costs for different sectors of the population.

4. Since I can remember I have always been very very athletic, at school I

participated in all the contests and challenges they proposed, I was in the club after

school and in the afternoons I practiced swimming, my family is very attached to

sports and honestly, sports have always It has served me as physical and

emotional therapy. Unfortunately since I arrived in Calgary I have not been able to

find the same routine, at the moment I must focus on my diploma.

5. I love Greek mythology, I dare say that I have read all the stories about the gods

of Olympus, it is incredible the influence it had on the entire world and how the

people of that time worshiped and prayed to the gods, which honestly did not It is

very far from the religions that are seen today, but ironically I still need to read the

most famous and important book (besides the Iliad), Homer's Odyssey, which is

about a long boat trip and all its adventures and obstacles.

The importance of personal development lies in changing from within, modifying

beliefs, and focusing on who we are, to exploit all our skills and abilities, opening

ourselves to possibilities. An open mind can go a long way in taking the pressure

off; there is no need to be perfect in everything you do. We are all different and

have different ways and times of learning; everyone advances at their own pace.

The important thing is not to move forward quickly, is to learn from mistakes and

celebrate triumphs with a healthy mind and heart.

Conclusion

One of the best things you can do for yourself is to focus on personal development,

no one will care about your interest anymore, this is up to you, so committing to

changing your life for the better will be the best thing you can do. The results of

focusing on yourself are amazing, you will not only have a better relationship with

yourself but with those around you, this is proven.
