Getting Rid of PMDD: Personal Development

Heidi covers the last part (part 5) of Getting Rid of PMDD: Personal Development. Personal development (a.k.a. personal enrichment) is important because it is YOU voting for YOU. It is an outward manifestation that your desires, your opinions, and your interests matter. By investing time in doing things that you enjoy, you remind yourself that there are things you still like--even when you feel depressed.

Take Aways

• 4 Areas: Spiritual, Intellectual, Physical, and Social
• Spiritual examples: praying, music, keeping a gratitude journal, studying scripture, attending church, meditation
• Intellectual examples: take a sewing class, choose a book to read on a specific topic (money, health, career), listen to a podcast, research a topic of interest to you
• Physical examples: join a group exercise class, decide to learn to do a push-up, choose a nutrition goal 
• Social: say "yes" to going out with friends, spend undivided attention time with loved ones, join a Bible study group
• No rules to personal development!
• It's okay to start a book, leave it, come back to it, leave it.
• Warning: If you're tempted to beat yourself up because you stopped a goal, STOP. REDIRECT.
• Volunteering in your church or in your community can be fulfilling.
