How do self-improvement projects

The path to good self-esteem
To get to be better about ourselves, how we enjoy and be confident, we must work the concept of self-esteem. That is, our own assessment or, as many people call the "self."

To do so, we have already commented Eliceo Reading about self-esteem, how to improve self-esteem, and now I will approach a way to develop self-improvement projects so that everyone will get valued more and therefore bear a life more enjoyable.

As a first step we must realize that these projects are a way to improve and get certain things we want. And to achieve these objectives, a wave of positivity flood the body and which will increase self esteem. To do these projects, consider four steps.

First: Get a clear objective and concrete. Here we must consider what we want to accomplish, achieve or what we want to do, bearing in mind that the goal should be:

Honest. What we really want.
Personal. The goal should be something we do not tell us anything else.
Realistic. See who can really achieve, otherwise it would fail to minimize self-esteem.
Some examples include: Adopt a matter, improve a personal appearance, save money, improve the relationship with someone, etc.

Second, specify the tasks to achieve the objective. Rinse the objective is to determine how to do to get and set a sensible time to be realized (three weeks, a month, etc.). Remember that it is a path and the goal is achieved by walking the same facts and not take shortcuts.

For example, if the goal is to pass a subject, the tasks will be: get the program of study, consult libraries, ask opinions of those who know the subject, contacting the teacher, make and clarify doubts, and so on. And this will take time which can vary depending on the amount of study material there.

Third: Organize your tasks in a particular order. If the tasks are done at the same time, we fall into the disadvantage that it is impossible to achieve the objective. It is therefore necessary to establish the order of the tasks and thus build a work plan. The order should be logical.

Fourth: Begin to perform the tasks and evaluate how they are developed. Here we are in the implementation of the proposed improvement. It is important that, as they are performing the tasks of the plan, be evaluated to see if there is something to change or not. If one can not be impartial at this point, it is good to ask advice or view a friend or relative.

Build knowledge

If creativity is the ability to think beyond accepted ideas, combining original and acquired knowledge, it is clear that it is related to divergent thinking and the right hemisphere, but this creativity is useful in so far as intelligence goes action and directs the behavior using the information captured, learned and developed. That is, for creativity to materialize in a helpful idea is to convert the original suggestions about innovations to meet adequately the needs of society and that only takes the intervention of convergent thinking.

Therefore, this approach does not cause any shadow of doubt about the role of the right hemisphere which raises the creative abilities to understand, enhance and build knowledge but the evaluation phase of the creative thought process should be governed by the left hemisphere is that ultimately transform creative works in innovation.

The innovations are what make possible the evolutionary development of societies breaking new ground and, although the information reaching one hemisphere of the brain are unknown to the other, arise brain connections and associations that later give birth to innovation.

Knowledge and Creativity

Lately, many people are claiming the importance of creativity in knowledge creation.

It all started with the work of Guilford, who, in the late forties, proposed a model of intelligence that marked a before and after the analysis of creativity. Distinguished between convergent thinking and divergent thinking. The first type of thinking, it advocates that there is only one correct solution to every problem. Based on our previous knowledge, logically ordered information available to reach the clear solution that ends the problem. Divergent thinking, however, discerned and provides several options that lead to multiple responses, being able to be, all of them correct.

The pioneering studies of Guilford tie in with the findings of Sperry. According to the neurologist, who won the Nobel prize in 1981 for his valuable discoveries, the cerebral hemispheres do not process the same information but share the tasks. The left hemisphere is responsible for the global aspects of the communication, analyzes the information heard and the written and body language.

This part of the brain is home to convergent thinking sparked by Guilford since it works in a logical and rational but fails, however, abstract and complex relationships. As the right hemisphere, it adheres to the processing of nonverbal information. He is interested in images, feelings, emotions and spatial information. It inhabits the processing occurrences divergent thinking, fantasies, and intuitions.
