Personality Development
Every human being might have a different perception, attitude, and meaning for this broad terminology "PERSONALITY”. Personalities are the sum total of an individual’s Psychological traits, characteristics, motives, habits, attitudes, beliefs, and outlooks. There are inherent natural, genetic and environmental factors that contribute to the development of our personality.
Psychologists have done a lot in this field. From Jung to countless modern psychologists all have shed light on the subject of personality-building and they have come out with a variety of methods for achieving the purpose.
If one looks up the definition of Personality development, you will find different explanations but the one that sums it up to an easy and effective understanding is - developing oneself in all spheres of life. For success in any field personality development is necessary. Every one needs to add something more to what is already within him.
Self /Personal Development is a LIFELONG commitment to improving oneself over time and taking personal responsibility for one's own learning and development through some process by which a person's character, abilities or potentialities are gradually developed .It is true that no effort in this direction goes in vain. It is every person’s duty to work towards it.
Each individual has a distinct persona that can be developed, polished and refined. That is why in professional studies Colleges/Institutes/universities conduct personality development programs which includes boosting one’s confidence, improving communication and language speaking abilities, widening ones scope of knowledge, developing certain hobbies or skills, learning fine etiquettes and manners, adding style and grace to the way one looks, talks and walks ,leadership skills, creativity, teamwork and so on. No doubt that these traits have its own importance but it is only one side of the coin that is external. Personality is best understood in terms of internal and external influences. In the yogic perspective, the essence of human personality is the Self, which in conjunction with body, mind and sprit. It is an important factor that without proper foundation of body, mind and sprit a superior personality can not be achieved.

In terms of modern science they are sympathetic, the para-sympathetic and the central nervous system respectively. The nervous system also affects our personality.The energy dimension is greately affected through pranayama, the act of breathing.
