Quick Start to personal development and growth
"Personal growth is the positive development of your skills, knowledge, wisdom and characteristics. Read on to discover what it truly means for you and how it could enhance your life… If there were ever a time to invest in your personal growth, it's now. Also known as personal development, self-growth and self-improvement, it's one of the most important buzzwords of our time. Whether you slot it seamlessly into your resume or flaunt it in your Tinder profile, personal growth is the holy grail of all success" (blog.mindvalley.com)
Step 1: Set Strategic Goals
It would be best if you had a goal for each of the areas for improvement. Goals work best when they are specific, short-term, achievable, and measurable. You want something you can commit to for a few months, something that is currently just outside your capabilities, and that will help you develop healthier long-term habits to enhance your well-being.
You should set a long-term goal for each area, too. These are things you are striving for over the next few years. What would you like to have achieved if you were to imagine your emotional well-being in, say, two years? Your short-term goals should help you slowly build toward this ultimate destination.
Step 2: Track Your Progress
Outline your personal development and growth plan on your calendar, including milestones, important reminders, and other dates that will be important for measuring your success. Be sure to include checkpoints and other dates that will keep you on track.
In a journal or on a chart, you should track your daily progress toward reaching your short-term goal. Mark off how many times you engage in a new habit or other measurements that pertain to your ability to reach your goal in the prescribed timeframe.
Reflect on your progress weekly and monthly. Weekly check-ins can be helpful to see how well you are sticking with your new habits. Monthly check-ins should also help you see if you are on track to reach your goal and if changes need to be made to your plan or your thinking.
Journal regularly to monitor how the changes you are making are affecting your overall well-being. Are you noticing changes in your outlook, your health, or your career? What lessons are you learning, and how do you feel about your personal development and growth work?
Journals are a fantastic way to capture the other aspects of this work that are not as measurable on a chart or calendar. If you want some journaling tips, check out my dedicated journaling section.
Personal growth and development is a transformational process, in which improvements are made in your physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social, and/or financial state. (pachamama.org)
Step 3: Update Your personal development and growth Plan
Every three or four months, you should sit down and update your personal development and growth plan. Start back at step one and consider how you feel about your well-being in each of the strategic areas.
Write new goals for yourself, using what you have learned from your previous work to make more strategic choices. As you change, certain areas may become more or less relevant to you, so be sure your plan reflects this, as well.
