Form new habits. Psychologists discovered that persons with favorable personality qualities (such as compassion and honesty) generate habitual reactions that stick. Because there are eight habits that can be learnt, modifying your habitual reactions over time is one strategy to promote personality change. For example, if you want to become more compassionate, it's not enough to want to be kind sometimes. You have to develop the habit of being compassionate all the time.
Be selective about what behaviors you perform. If you want to change a behavior, you need to focus on just that behavior. So, if you want to be more compassionate, don't try to be intelligent or pretty too. These are traits you were born with, so they're not changeable. Compassion is a choice you can make every day by looking at what matters most in your life and how you can help others who are less fortunate than you.
Change your environment. Where you live, work, and play influences how you feel and act. If you want to change a negative trait, look for opportunities each day to replace it with a positive one. For example, if you want to stop complaining, go out of your way not to complain today. If you find yourself complaining, stop and think of another way to solve the problem. Then, carry on.
Keep trying new things. When you try something new, it scares us.
Of course, developing a new habit or breaking an old one is never simple, and it requires time and dedication. With enough repetition, these new behavioral habits will become second nature.
The ability to modify behavior is a key element in the development of any personality. Whether you want to change your temperament or not, this ability is needed to master new skills and overcome obstacles. The more flexible you are, the better able you are to adapt to different situations.
Some people believe that changing your personality would require having multiple personalities, which is not true. What it does require is having the capacity for change and the motivation to do so. Some people are just born with these qualities, while others have to learn them through experience.
While personality qualities are usually stable over time, they can and frequently do change over time. Sudden and significant changes in personality are uncommon. Personality traits influence people's lives because of their implications on behavior and consistency through time. Changes in personality may occur for many reasons including illness, injury, or changing circumstances such as moving to a new home or school.
Personality changes are normal, and in some situations, they may be the beneficial outcome of your purposeful effort or therapy. However, in certain circumstances, personality change is undesirable, unanticipated, or uncontrollable. Many psychologists believe that patients who seek out counseling regularly will eventually develop better coping skills because they are learning more effective ways of dealing with difficult situations.
Seeking out counseling can also help you understand yourself better. Therapy allows you to examine your thoughts and behaviors without acting on them, which helps you learn more about their effects on others and yourself.
In conclusion, seeing a therapist will help you deal with many different issues in your life. You should consider seeking counseling if you are experiencing problems related to emotion regulation, interpersonal relationships, stress management, self-awareness, or any other area of concern.
Over time, counseling can help you improve your emotional intelligence and deal with similar issues in your own unique way.
