I love writing about healthy lifestyles and personal development. Both are my passions. To be able to contribute to another person’s growth, making a difference to their lives is truly an awesome feeling. I have been fascinated by these subjects long before I became qualified to write and speak about them. I have a library of over 500 books all of which are on these topics. To fill myself with positivity, to learn new techniques and methods, to further increase my own knowledge has always been a priority of mine.
With the massive growth of blogging there are now many wonderful sites in my niche. The following is my first list of 10 personal development blogs that I enjoy reading, each offering their own viewpoint and information to help those looking for personal growth, and providing ways to combat the stress and negativity in their life. I’ve been blogging just over a year and find these personal development blogs inspirational and I find them a good yardstick to measure my own blogs development.
Every Saturday I will introduce you to more of the blogs I read. If you are interested in living a healthy lifestyle and looking for personal growth, you can find helpful hints and advice at these blogs.
I hope you enjoy checking out them out.
