🌼 What’s the Difference Between Self‑Development and Personal Development?
We often hear both terms used interchangeably, and they are closely connected — but there’s a gentle difference between them.
🌿 Self‑development
This is the inner work you choose to do for yourself.
It’s about your own growth, your own habits, your own mindset, and the changes you make from the inside out.
Think of it as the personal journey you take to understand yourself better, build confidence, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
It’s self‑led, self‑motivated, and deeply personal.
🌟 Personal development
This is a broader umbrella that includes self‑development, but also the support, tools, and guidance you might receive from others.
It can include coaching, therapy, workshops, courses, or structured sessions that help you grow in specific areas — emotionally, mentally, or even professionally.
It’s still about you, but it often involves learning from someone else, gaining new skills, or exploring new perspectives.
At Free the Mind Wellbeing we work together on personal development to help you grow, get unstuck, make positive changes, foster a healthier mindset and achieve plans and goals you’ve been unable to access.
