Hi everyone!

In a previous post, we looked at setting goals. But there are also your personal development goals to look at as well. Taking control of your life by striving toward ongoing self-improvement is not only admirable but necessary for self-growth and rejuvenation.

Personal development goals enhance your life in many ways, allowing you to achieve more and become a happier, healthier person. Here are some examples of personal development goals that can have an enormous impact on your life.

Maintain a growth mindset.

By shifting your attitude to one of constant renewal and growth, you recognize that life is a journey that never ends. The job of becoming the best version of you is one you have to work at every day. A growth mindset keeps a positive focus on change and renewal, helping you continue to strive to learn and change over time.

Embrace the fear.

Understanding what is causing your fear and doubt is the first step to eliminating it from your life. By embracing fear and even placing yourself in situations that have previously caused you to be afraid, you can learn how to overcome and move forward with certainty and calm. Sometimes, we fear those things we don’t understand, so embracing it takes away the power fear holds over you.

Grow your resiliency.

Your innate ability to overcome adversity is resilience, and it’s what helps you tackle obstacles head-on. Vowing to become more resilient, then actively working toward that goal, can allow you to become more self-confident and brave. Resiliency helps you feel confident to continue, even after a failure, as well.

Watch your body language.

Because your body language is made of all the non-verbal cues you send to people about what you think, focusing on this can help you communicate more effectively. When your facial expressions and gestures convey different meanings than your words, you may find yourself often frustrated by your interactions with others. Focusing on your body language can help you develop your perseverance, confidence, and assertiveness in all kinds of situations.

Become an early riser.

Early risers experience many benefits over those who sleep late. Those who wake early are more likely to make time for exercise in their daily routine, start their day off with goals set and priorities made, and manage their time better overall. This leads to increased productivity and reduced stress.

Practice mindfulness.

Striving to be more mindful is an essential personal development goal. When you are mindful, you recognize the good in your life and can celebrate it. Mindfulness roots you in the present, not the past, which you cannot control. It also allows you to enjoy your life as you are living it and not just focus on the future.

Develop healthy relationships.

Creating relationships with others, even in the face of differences, is an essential life skill. Work on relating to others through honesty, transparency, and kindness, and you will soon be getting along well. The goal is not to manipulate others but merely to have less conflict in your life, which inhibits your growth.

Read.

Reading can help increase your knowledge, exposing you to new ideas and opinions, and helping you find solutions to your problems. Reading promotes happiness and satisfaction, and the new skills you develop from reading can help you achieve your personal goals.

Manage your stress.

Managing stress effectively is vital for your physical as well as your psychological health and wellbeing. Many of the activities you can do to lower your stress are beneficial in other ways, as well. But knowing your stress triggers and working toward eliminating those is an excellent self-care strategy for everyone.

Let go of any limitations.

When you limit yourself by your beliefs and fears, you can never achieve your goals. Ignore those self-imposed limitations and try new things, take new risks, and stumble in the process. By experiencing failure as well as success, you can grow and expand your skills as well as let go of the fear that may be controlling you.

These are good personal development goals that you can work on all year. You may want to be more specific with some of them depending on your own personal situation. You may even be able to tie them into your word that you selected for the year as well.
