Personal Development: 3 Steps To Setting Up a Personal Growth Plan
Setting up a personal growth plan is an important key to being your best. A personal growth plan is a method that’s tailored to help you learn about specific topics. If you have a desire to improve your life you will need to have a system in place to make it happen. Here are the steps to setting up your own personal growth plan:
1. Choose the topics you want to study. Most people have 5-7 areas that are important to them- for example you may want to grow spiritually or learn how to keep yourself and your family healthy or learn how to start your own business. Write down the areas that are important to you.
2. Decide what study tools you want to use for each subject. Pick methods of learning that complement your personality and lifestyle. Your options include books, magazines, CD’s, classes, websites, audio downloads etc.
3. Write out your goals for growth this year. It can be as simple or detailed as you like-the important thing is learn something on a regular basis to help you improve in every area of your life.
Your plan for the year may look something like this:
Spiritual: Use a Bible study plan and read through the whole Bible. Attend the ladies weekly Bible study at my church and read the biography of my favorite faith teacher.
Health: Study the 2 natural health books I bought last month.
Parenting: Borrow the James Dobson parenting set from the library and listen to it. Read 25 Ways Moms Can Raise Extraordinary Kids
Financial: Listen to the You Can Choose To Be Rich
After you have your plan written out, break down your goals into manageable segments and put them on your daily or weekly to do list. Your goal for the week may be to spend an hour reading a certain book, checking into what courses are offered in your city or listening to a financial success download on your mp3 player.
Set aside time every day to work on your growth plan. As you learn new things, write down information that is meaningful to you and read through your notes regularly. The information you acquire will put you on the path to a more fulfilling life.
