PATH TO PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT 

To start your path toward personal development, consider the following approach.

1. Vision stage (creating a personal vision)

 even if this step is completed for fun, it can help you envision where you want to be both personally and professionally in one month, six months, one year, etc. Setting targets for yourself can keep you motivated and on track. Refer to these goals often to ensure you are taking the necessary steps toward success.

2. Planning stage:

Personal development planning is a structured process that helps to create an action plan for self-improvement, growth, and development.

Now that you have a clear understanding of your ideal life in the future, it’s time to start planning how you can get there. Consider conducting a personal SWOT analysis in which you outline your biggest strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Self-reflection is a huge part of personal development, so creating a SWOT analysis is a great way to start thinking in this mindset.

i. The personal development plan should be written down

ii. The personal development planning should be realistic and feasible

iii. The plan should reflect both long-term and short-term perspective

iv.  It should be based on essential values

3. Tracking stage:

Once you have started the improvement process, make sure to keep track of how your progress is going. Keeping some sort of written record of your goals, the steps you are taking to get there, and any roadblocks can help further motivate you to become better. After a few weeks have passed, don’t be afraid to re-evaluate and readjust your goals to better align with your strides in development. Life is full of unexpected circumstances and surprises that may have an impact on your goals or your pacing. Learn to embrace these changes and go with the flow instead of becoming frustrated when a situation doesn’t play out how you expected.
