Personal Development Blog

A teacher wrote me today, asking about sources for social tips/etiquette that can be shared with her students.  I found some useful websites, which I thought I’d share with anyone else who is interested.  If you know of any other good web resources, I encourage you to post them in the comments.  Personally I think it’s a great idea to include some etiquette alongside the traditional subjects.

I’ve found that during long drives or commuting to work, we have a very good opportunity for self-growth.

The first benefit of driving is in getting away from all the things competing for your attention.  Television, computers, telephones, games, friends, family, all can demand your full attention.  If you just keep the radio off, you have a good opportunity to think about things.  You can set goals, think about areas of your life you’d like to improve, think about how best to use your time that day, or anything else important to your personal growth.

Simply listening to music can be a good way to lift your spirits.  Find music you know that improves your mood and make use of it!  Or if you like to sing, nows your chance, no matter had bad you sing ;-)
