Guest post by Rosanna Lundberg, Founder, and Author of Pinay GOAL Digger

Are you on a journey for improving your personal growth that will eventually lead you to become the best version of yourself? What is your plan of action to achieve this goal? Are you experiencing fear when you initiate this plan of action?

Relax…and keep reading.

Feeling of fear is normal. We all experience fear when we are seeking new ways to improve our life. If you want to achieve greatness and personal growth that lasts a lifetime, remember it is not a matter of willpower, but it is the result of taking the right action to make that important change in your life.

I was once like you. I always felt the fear and pressure when I wanted to start a new goal in my life. For example, when I wanted to start writing and blogging. One of my biggest fear was writing in English since it is not my mother tongue. However, I knew that I wanted to do this for a long time, and I love expressing my feelings, ideas, thoughts, and experiences through writing. So, I had to overcome this fear, and start slow and keep learning every single day. I have to remind myself every day that life is a skill that we need to enhance each and every day if we want to be the best at it.

In this article, I want to share with you the seven powerful ways that can help you empower and inspire yourself on this journey of achieving your best self and greater personal growth.

1. Visualization

There are plenty of techniques and experimentation required on visualizing your personal growth goals. I believe visualization is one of the essential ingredients for reaching our personal growth goals. I prefer not to call it a dream, but rather a VISION that leads you to visualize that VISION in mind. Often visualization of your goals will assist you to integrate them as it happens. The more you visualize it, the more it can feel like a reality in your mind, and that will help you create the new ideas, thoughts, and behaviors needed to achieve your goal.

Here are some tips on how to visualize your personal growth goals:

Every evening before going to bed, visualize your goal and embrace it deeply inside. Take a silent moment to feel this visualization.
Create a vision board. – Write and post all things you want to achieve on your personal growth journey. Place this board in a place where you can always see it to remind yourself of your goals.
Embrace and feel it as if it’s already happening and becoming a reality.

2. Set goals

First, you have to set some goals on how you are going to achieve your personal growth. When I wanted to start writing, I had to conduct a lot of research, reading, writing, and identify potential errors, and I must admit that I still do make a lot of errors. What’s important is that we keep taking action to enhance and follow our goals in order to make it a reality.

Here are some tips on how to set your goals to achieve your personal growth:

Make certain to set goals that you can actually achieve.
Write down these goals and analyze which goals are achievable and realistic.
Set and write a short and a long term goal that you can follow.

3. Perform charitable work or donate to your favorite cause

Make this part of your personal growth program. Personally, doing some charitable work or donating makes me feel like a better member of the community. I feel like I achieve a certain level of selflessness. I feel proud and I feel it improves my confidence, self-image, and inner self. When I started doing this, I also felt such a great achievement and good feeling come out of this. It led me to overcome my fear of taking action to achieve my personal growth goals.

There are plenty of charity organizations out there that will align with your interests, whatever they might be. It is a high level of great feeling when you involve yourself in the community that involves self-less love, care, and generosity. It is something that you do without expecting anything in return. The end result of this action is that you will achieve a great sense of inner confidence to achieve your goals.

4. Ask for feedback

Ask a friend for feedback. Their sincerity and honesty about your personal growth plan and goals can be of great assistance. Make a support structure of people you know and respect to provide you regular feedback on how you are doing with your personal growth plan. You can ask a family member to help you achieve this goal. However, be certain to accept any form of feedback as a challenge and a gift, even it is tough to hear.

5. Spend less

Spending less than you earn and living below your means, is one of the simple ways to boost your self-confidence and personal sense of worth. Making it a habit to put your finances on a leash is a great way to practice control over certain aspects of your life. When you practice this goal, you will achieve a sense of self-control over your bank account and it will make you feel confident and richer in no time. Remember, you control your finances, they do not control you.

6. Seek transparency

Look for transparency when you are searching for information to guide you on your journey to self-growth. Whatever advice you follow, it should have a good purpose, intention, and clear origins. This will shield you from the eloquent, yet wicked people out to make a dollar on another person’s battles. Be certain to secure your heart when you are looking to share and tackle your intimate issues.

7. Keep studying personal growth resources

Make it a habit to study regularly about personal development. Seek new resources to obtain new ideas to help you keep focused, and motivation to keep you inspired to reach your goals. There are plenty of books, podcasts, and videos out there to help you in reaching your goals. You can always evaluate and review these resources for new tips and techniques to make your own personal growth routine more successful.

Start today and improve your sense of well-being on the journey for personal growth. I hope you are now empowered and have the will power to overcome your fear of taking action to achieve your personal growth goal. Take your first step slowly and proceed one step at a time and slay your goals one day at a time.
