Becoming the best version of yourself is a journey that involves self-reflection, personal development and continuous growth. Below are five mindful ways to achieve this.
Self-Reflection:
- Take time for self-reflection. To guide this exercise, ask yourself questions like:
- What are my values?
- What are my goals?
- What are my passions?
- Write in a journal to document your thoughts and feelings. Doing so will help you gain clarity so you can focus on your personal aspirations.
Clear Goals:
- Set personal goals for yourself that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound (SMART).
- Define both short-term and long-term goals to work on priorities that can be accomplished in the near future while making measurable progress to achieve goals that require more time.
Continuous Learning:
- Be open to learning new things. Explore different subjects and acquire new skills.
- Read books, attend workshops, earn a certification or take online courses to expand your knowledge. Consider certificates at Harvard Business School here.
Healthy Habits:
- Physical and mental well-being play important roles in personal development. The top of the list? Regular exercise, proper nutrition and sufficient sleep.
- Practice cultivating a positive mindset. The Mayo Clinic shares practical tips to develop one here.
Give Back:
- Give back by investing in causes you are passionate about. It helps you feel fulfilled and make meaningful contributions to communities.
- Volunteer, whether it is giving of your resources, knowledge, or time, to help be the best version of yourself. Read about the “Importance of Giving Back” from Forbes here.
