Few of these learning approaches are as follows:Books, articles and journals: It is one of the primary and oldest approach to selfmanaged learning. Since contents of these sources are highly detailed, conceptualised aswell as coherent hence can be one of the most effective ways to this kind of learning.Social media: It is a platform for interaction and is one of the best ways in modern timesto self managed learning. There is a demerit associated with it is that it can provide falseknowledge sometimes.Internet: In the modern era of technology where internet has reached to almost everyhands, has empowered people to use this approach as a medium for managed learning.One of the biggest positive point with this kind of learning is that it is cheaper and can beaccessed by technological gadgets at any time any place.Seminars, Workshop or Conferences: These are programmes that can be highlybeneficial for managing self learning. An individual can learn from expertise of differentfield by inheriting their shared experiences and interacting with them on the topics theywant to learn. 1

Hence theremust be ways so as to encourage this procedure with reference to personal and professionaldevelopment. Some of the ways that can be used are:Motivation from inside: It is a proven fact that for continuing ant task for longer time, itis important to produce motivations from inside. Self motivation felicitates individuals inencouraging themselves to continue with learning process throughout the life(Calderhead, Denicolo and Day, 2012). There are some hurdles that arises in this learningprocess such as moral degradation, negative mindset, depression. These can beencountered with the stick of self confidence. Managing life style: For adapting lifelong learning process, it is important to managelifestyle. That includes organising work according to priorities, changing lifestyle as perthe requirement of learning process. These all are made under the guidance of certaincodes and principles and must suit self respect. Self modification: Every learning process needs some or the other types of modificationsin the individuals life style, approach towards situations or their behaviour (Cooke,2012).
