We are always looking to improve but we never seem to know were to start and doomed to repeat the same mistakes. In psychology we refer to the self-improvement process as as self-actualization. I have developed a self-improvement methodology based on heuristics, which I will call multidimensional thinking (MT) to help with self-actualization. Everything I will go over today is supported by psychology theory and leadership development. I will write in a style for everyone to understand and will leave out psychological terms. I developed MT while I was in undergraduate studies and I later applied this in my career in child development as a case manager in working with children’s services and curriculum. I decided to study leadership, which facilitated further development of this technique for professional development. MT will map out your challenge or improvement area, and develop a pattern recognition system anyone can use to learn for self-improvement. I will be brief and get right to the point for a quick read and easy application.
Basically you want to apply this to the challenge, problem, development, lesson, learning, or practice areas. There are patterns to everything we do in human development. Therefore if you can get efficient at recognizing these patterns you can develop efficiently in these areas. MT is a self-improvement process never before utilized which will make the best you ever. The following are the steps to follow.
• Think of your problem, obstacle, or improvement area. Identify this now, write, draw or visualize this.
• Now think of the five contributing factors surrounding this problem. This can be causes, characteristics, disposition and/or relationships. Identify the five connections now, write, draw or visualize this.
• Now think of a situation, problem, learning process from your memory with these same or similar five connections. How was this resolved, learned, or concluded. Identify this now, write, draw or visualize this. Repeat this step several times for more examples to draw from.
• Think of the pattern relationship of challenge area, connection factors, and resolution for each example. Identify this now, write, draw or visualize this.
• Once you have completed the previous step the pattern will yield a conceptual solution for your problem area. Identify this now, write, draw or visualize this.
You are able to draw better learning from MT because the patterns are recognized and the solution will manifest based on the brains natural ability to activate pattern recognition following the MT steps.
There is mind-mapping software available which will facilitate this process. However you can draw, write, or use your imagination to do this. You will get better at MT with practice. Contact me if you would like me help you out with MT technique at the following link http://ex.gs/4qgZs7
