Becoming a Better Version of Yourself
Personal growth is the process of bettering and developing yourself and is something to engage in throughout your life.
How does a person figure out what areas in their life they need to work on? Everyone has some part of life they need or want to improve upon. It’s one thing to want to improve some part of life. It’s another thing to actually manifest it.
How do you go about making a change in your life? Especially if you have spent most of your life up to this point just existing day-to-day?
Do you ever think about the things in your life that you would really like to change? Finding things, you need to work on is not as complicated as we make it. You just have to start where you are.

An important skill as an adult is self-development. Self-mastery, and learning how to be competent at activities of daily living are only the beginning.
Beyond those skills that help you advance in your career and passions are there for the taking. Tap into your own motivation and drive to find the path to elevate yourself beyond the status quo.
You are your own self-development project. You are the boss, the architect, and the quality control team.
Start With a List
No really. Make a list of what YOU think you need to work on. Then pick one and create a plan of tasks to take on one at a time. Do this once a month.
Some of your goals will change. Some won’t matter anymore. Some new items will pop up. There is nothing more satisfying than marking off a goal you have accomplished.

Making progress is motivating. Reaching milestones lights the fire to keep you going. Reward yourself for progress along the way. Rewards don’t have to be extravagant.
They could be as simple as watching a favorite movie or treating yourself to a favorite take-out meal. A small treat after hard work, and reaching a goal is a great way to motivate yourself to stay on track and keep going. Celebrate that progress.
Network
Share your goals and vision with like-minded individuals. This can be friends, supportive family, or even social media groups. You don’t have to all be in the same physical location to support each other.
Sharing highs, lows, successes, and failures are a great way to gain insight and camaraderie on your journey of personal growth. You are not alone in your desire for change.
Revise, Regroup, And Reframe
If it’s broke, fix it. Don’t be inflexible about your methods. When you are working on personal growth you have to be open-minded and a little flexible. Sometimes the best plans fail. It’s ok.
Nothing has to be perfect. You have a lifetime to work on improving yourself and reaching goals. If a plan needs to be adjusted make the change. Then get started again right away.
Expand Your Mind
Personal improvement cannot be achieved in a single day. This journey is a process. The change is gradual. There are many ways to create a growth mindset in your life.
Browse social media, read self-help books, or psychology books, study goal-setting, attend conferences, and listen to podcasts to open your mind up to new ways of personal growth.
“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always be where you’ve always been.” — T.D. Jakes
These are just some of the tips and tools to help you on the journey to personal growth. Life is an ever-changing journey.
At different stages in life, your goals and perspectives may change. Keep going in the process of self-knowledge, self-mastery, and personal improvement.
This is one aspect of living a fulfilling and balanced life.
