Personal Development for Young Adults

Target Group : 18 – 25 years

During early adulthood, individuals may find themselves feeling confused about the vast choices that is available to them. This is the time where many values which were instilled in them when they were younger are put to test and is questioned. It is also the time where a major shift of perception and forming of values and believes based on new personal experiences will take place.

For many, this is the time of self exploration. Many are away from home, away from their families for the first time. Either attending college/university or working away from their hometown and away from other family members. Many will also be or become involved in romantic relationships which can be exciting and sometimes confusing.

The challenges they face just because of the changes in the environment and the higher expectations placed on them as they have entered the beginning stages of adulthood, may take a toll in their mental and emotional health and thereby making them feel unbalanced which contributes to their inability to make the best decisions for that time, regarding their lives.

Objective:
Self Empowerment through addressing and working through these important questions
1. Who am I?
2. What do I really, really, really want?
3. What are my passions and how can I incorporate them into my life and/or my work/studies?
4. How can I find a way of expressing my uniqueness without being isolated by others/society?
5. What is my true path? What am I here to do?
6. How to become in touch with my inner voice/true self
7. How do I realign my thoughts, emotions and body to achieve my highest potential?
8. What is sabotaging my efforts to progress in life and how to overcome it?
