How Does Personal Development Help in Business?
Teams run most businesses and teams work best if each member is aligned with the whole group and works in a happy friendly way. Team building has been very popular over the last ten years or so, but wouldn't it be so much easier if we naturally lived a life in synchrony with your teammates and your customers. Businesses in the past has employed people for the purpose of fulfilling a role and paying a wage, were the employee may not really enjoy the job they are doing. As we move into the New Energy and develop our awareness. As New Spirituality develops and Self-love grows and your appreciation for fellow employees naturally changes, we grow in synchrony and Self-realisation. This shift is happening now; employees and business owners are going through major changes both at work and in their home life. It is getting harder and harder to stay in a job you are not enjoying doing. Your individual life's purpose and your job are aligning, it is possible to help this process through your imagination, your vision and your dreams to plan the next step on your life's journey. The best way to achieve this is to shift your focus from what you don't want to what you would love to have, be and do. This shift in vision and what you are being will shift your energy to a more positive life where you are constantly choosing to follow your joy and stepping into happiness, as you take each step in life. Your job may change during this process, as you become more aligned with your life purpose and your company's expectation. Companies are living things and they can only grow through change as they evolve and expand. Employees also like changing and growing both within the company and within their own life. So what can we do to speed up this process of evolution and growth? Turning the attention back on your self is one of the most useful things that you can do. This can happen as easily as becoming aware of ones own breathing and reaching out with your feelings and adjusting your energies each time you become aware of some tension within the body and relaxing and re-centring. Following one of the many methods of meditation can do it, the main thing is we look within and just observe what we feel and see. We cannot use our gifts until we become aware of them. By taking a few minutes each day to align our own energies will have a tremendous effect on our co-workers and bring harmony and peace into the work place.
