7 Skills to Learn to Skyrocket Your Personal Growth and How to Practice Them
Imagine what it would be like to be a fully self-evolved version of yourself.
What would it look like if you were the best version of yourself? You would feel passionate, fulfilled, and confident. You would radiate a sense of self-ease others are jealous of.
If you knew how to grow into that version of yourself, wouldn’t you want to do it?
Here are 7 skills you can work on that will promote your personal growth and get you closer to that person.
1. Talk to people
People are the backbone of this world. There’s no getting around it. Interacting with others is inevitable so interpersonal skills are necessary.
A good way to learn is to initiate conversations with others. Ask them about themselves and what they’re doing. Focus less on yourself and more on them.
By doing this, you start to build connections with other people. The more you do it, the more comfortable you will become.
2. Analyze yourself
It can be tricky developing yourself when you don’t know what your strengths and weaknesses are. Look inward and be as honest as you can about yourself.
You can also get feedback from others by asking them how they think you are doing and what you can do better.
Ask trusted friends and family for their feedback. With this information, you can focus on building your strengths.
3. Take care of your health
It’s important to take care of your body and health. Self-care is not about indulging in riches. Self-care is about doing the right things for you.
That means doing those things you know you should be doing. Exercising, eating healthy, practicing gratitude.
As lame and obvious as it sounds, it works. Try doing it for a month and see how your confidence soars.
4. Adjust your mindset
Carol Dweck is famously known for her research on fixed and growth mindsets. Fixed mindsets hold you back by believing there is no room for growth.
Growth mindsets stem from the belief that you can change and grow. With hard work, you can accomplish anything.
By practicing a growth mindset you will open yourself up to opportunities and abundance.
5. Find your inner peace
Mindfulness has become a hot trend, and there’s a good reason why. Among many of its benefits, one important one is that it helps to calm yourself and destress.
Find the things that help calm you. It may be writing, listening to music, or going for a walk.
Cultivating these things will help alieve stress. And less stress in your life is good for you.
6. Healthy relationships with tech
You know that you’ve become dependent on technology. Chances are you have at least a phone and computer. How much are you using them?
You don’t want to be dependent on technology to the extent it affects your mental health. There can be some serious downsides to social media and modern tech.
Practice boundaries with your tech. Set time limits for when or how long you are online. You can even download apps or software to help you.
7. Think like an entrepreneur
Lastly, think more like an entrepreneur. It doesn’t mean you have to be one, but adopting their mindset can make great improvements for you.
Entrepreneurs always look for ways to improve. They’re innovative. They like to find out what is and isn’t working and adapt as need be.
When you think like an entrepreneur, you will recognize opportunities for change.
