Self Help? Read On...

Home >> Self Help
A self improvement website without a page called self-help?

Unthinkable!...

But I still don't know the difference between self-help and self-improvement!

Do you?

Anyway, here you'll find links to free self-help resources, self-help quotes, books, tips, websites, articles and a list of popular self-help authors.

Yes, it's self-help information all aimed at boosting your self motivation and helping you to help yourself! Self growth writ large, I guess.

So let's get on with it, shall we...

I guess we're all beginners in the game of life, really.



What is Self Help Anyway?

Self help - what I say...

The first thing I say is that I'm not sure what the difference between self-help and self-improvement is, so that's why I created two pages, with two sets of self-help resources.

The next thing I say about free self help is that just because it's free doesn't mean it's not helpful.

Selfhelp, as some of you like to call it(!), really can help effect positive personal change - it just has to be the right kind of self help information, that's all! (And, yes, that's where the SelfHelpCollective.com website comes in - you'll find great self-help information here, and links to the best self-help websites, in case you want to learn more.)

So, let me ask you a question: What do the ten most popular new year's resolutions have to do with that dreaded phrase 'self help'?

Here are those resolutions:

01. Lose weight, and get in better physical shape
02. Stick to a budget
03. Reduce debt
04. Enjoy more quality time with family and friends
05. Find my soul mate
06. Quit smoking
07. Find a better job
08. Learn something new
09. Volunteer and help others
10. Get organized
(Are any of these your personal goal setting objectives. If so, do share!)

Well, to me, it's a recipe for self-help, don't you think! Either it's how to solve a problem (e.g. debt, smoking) or it's how to make your life better (e.g. love-life, job). This list, in essence, is about self-motivation and self growth - don't you think?

And, thankfully, you don't have to wait until New Year to start improving yourself! You could start right now by reading the self-help articles listed at the Self Help Collective.

"Everything you want is outside your comfort zone."
-- Robert Allen

More quotes...

Okay the last thing I have to say about self help improvement - whether we're talking self-help books, articles, tips, websites audio etc. etc. - is that sometimes self-help doesn't make things 'better'; sometimes people can get addicted to reading without doing; or they find too much comfort with the notion that their problems are not their responsibility.

(Though I'm not sure I'd go quite as far as Lance Winslow does in his article called: "Problems With Do-Gooder Self-Improvement Types Making Society Weak".)

So take care when it comes to self-help, eh!

Choose your resources wisely! ;-)

And always, always, always take action!

And, lastly, if you're not making any progress with self-help you're probably self-sabotaging! And you really want to stop doing that. It won't make you go blind (I don't think) but it certainly will not help you live the life you deserve. Anyway, that's enough from me...

Do tell me what you think, eh!

Why thank you... :-)





Self-help - what these recommended resources say...

Bearing in mind that reading about self-help is not going to make any difference - no matter what free self help information, books or articles you read - UNLESS you take action with what you read! Okay, bearing that in mind, I present to you some recommended resources

  • Bradley Thompson's Self Help Street

    According to Bradley, "This simple site contains my round-up of the very best self-development tools available today. I've personally tried and recommend every resource listed here. Check them out... they work." You'll find lots information, articles, books and other self help products. There's a blog, too!

    (Or you could subscribe to his free "Self development newsletter" and get a whole load of self-help freebies for doing so!)

  • SelfHelpMagazine.com
    Apparently, this is "the Internet's most trusted self-help & psychology portal". After SelfhelpCollective.com, they forgot to say, obviously! ;-)

  • The Sedona Method

    "Find lasting inner peace, joy and love." It'll cost ya, but - well - it'll probably be worth it! :-) Seriously, The Sedona Method is a highly regarded, if unconventional, program that uses emotionally based techniques to effect real and lasting change, quickly.

  • Meditation Secrets
    Or maybe you'd prefer to learn how to successfully meditate, to calm the mind etc. SecretsofMeditation.com is the place to go, then, if you want to learn how to instantly release any unwanted thoughts, feelings or beliefs.

  • Guy Finley's thoughts on Self Help
    Or maybe you're suspicious of self-help from a spiritual point of view and want to know what a spiritual teacher like Guy Finley makes of it all. Well, just click the link and you'll find out.

PS To me, the ultimate self-help resource is the online service I used to build this website. It's called SBI! and it truly gets you to take action as you try to empower your life via your very own content-based website, built around your passion or interest. And you don't have to know anything about websites, either. Anyway, that's what I say, anyway... :-)
