Good Lifestyle

We all have the personality traits we wish we can change. Maybe you find that you are atoo negative anybody. Maybe youHave privacy problems that hinder your interpersonal relationships. Or maybe you know you're a little pessimistic and want to be more than a drink, that is, half-kind of person.

People always say that recognizing the problem is the first step to change. But nobody ever gives you the second step, so we are all thinking that everything we need to do to solve our problems is to recognize the problem.

Now,A new study published in thePersonality Journal and Social PsychologyThe affirmations that are not only only decided not to change enough to change, the whole company can be counterproductive in the absence of any action. But if you try, you can actually make significant changes.

The researchers have asked 377 psychology students to choose a coarse personality - that include openness, consciousness, extraversion, accreditation and neurotism - that they would like to change. Most have chosen two features, and the majority wanted to lower their neurotism and increase their tropversion. (The least popular trait to change was acceptance, which is a shame, because with consciousness are the two featureswho have been found to most of our lively and romantic sex.)

At the beginning of the 15-week study, students completed a 60-point personality test and selected a maximum of four challenges by personality experts to help them achieve their goals. For example, those who wanted to become more extroverted were invited to do something relatively easy, like saying hello to a cashier, something extremely difficult, like volunteering for a leadership role. Someone who wanted to be more open was invited to do something like relatively easy to read a new on a foreign country, or something more difficult than trying to understand the perspective of someone who occupied very different opinions.

At the end of each week, students were invited to connect if they had completed these challenges and received a reward badge when they made it for additional motivation.

What they have noted is that those who had finished the challenges have seen much greater changes than those who have not done so. So, if you want to make significant changes to certain personality traits, you must follow with action. You must challenge your comfort zone by forcing you to more uncomfortable positions.

However, and here are things interesting - those who promised to change, but did not finish the challenges reallyempire. So the introverts who have not managed to say hello to a cashier or a volunteer for a leadership role have become really becameFollowing introverted what they were before.

"The only most important involvement of our study is that this actively engaging in behaviors designed to change its personality traits, actually predicts larger amounts of growth in time," Nathan Hudson, a social-Psychologist of the personality of the South Methodist University and head of the head of this studysaid in a liberation. "[However] simply desire the change and the formulation of plans is not enough; it is necessary to follow."

On a psychological level, it is easy to see why people who have not answered their challenges are even more numerous in the personality traits they wanted to change. When you can not force yourself to make up to come to change, it's easy to feel demotivated and accept that it's just that you are and you can not do anything about it.

But this is not true. We are all our own prisoners and prison guards. You have the power to change and you are much stronger than you realize. Overcoming our faults and roll up our brain is not easy, but it's possible. For more things about that, checkOur conclusions of Yale's happiness path.
