Abstract:
In this Era of First impression is last impression, a good personality is must to have. Personality is defined as the characteristic set of behaviours, cognitions and emotional patterns that evolve from biological and environmental factors. It is basically the reflection of an Individual`s character. Ayurveda has mentioned Personality traits as Manas Prakritis which are present by birth in an individual. A Good and positive Personality is respected everywhere. Personality development is actually a way of living in a society and achieving success in all frames of life. In present time of competitiveness, stress and anxiety increases which leads to lack of confidence and results in increasing negativity and depression which spoils the health of a person. Ayurveda in its core has given a beautiful tool not only for personality development but also for taking care of health which is known as Sadvritta. These are the Ethical code of conducts one should follow in life to achieve Arogya and Indriyavijaya. Acharayas have mentioned various types of Sadvritta relating to personal hygiene, social attributes, occupational attributes, food comsumption, religion, exercise etc. Ashtanga Yoga is another tool which helps in self control and brings up balance in mind and body. By practising Sadvritta modaliies and Ashtanga Yoga one can not only just have a Good personality but also it brings upon the balance in Doshas, Agnis, Dhatu, Mala & happiness in Atma, Indriya and Manah.
