5 Simple Steps for Personal Growth Fast and Easy

Before Personal Growth

Once you break away from the $51 billion self-help industry's nonsense, personal growth generally happens exponentially.  Self-help industry nonsense? We covered that conclusively, no quantifiable results,  a few days ago…

Read that here.

Since the subconscious mind, [aka subby], runs the show, accounting for better than 95% of your decisions and the kicker, is that subby does not learn like the conscious mind.  If, like me, you’ve read self-help books, listened to podcasts, maybe even bought a course, and still feel stuck, keep reading.  You are not alone.  Self-development skills are required for anyone to grow personally.

I used to struggle with negative thoughts and self-doubt, but then I discovered the power of daily mindset rituals. Until I unearthed two tiny discoveries, I was destined to “rinse and repeat.”  Buy a self-help book, read some of it, get excited, read the rest faster… still stuck… another book, lots of knowledge, no change in my life…

I want to share the transformative techniques that helped me overcome those challenges and achieve personal growth beyond my wildest dreams… including manifesting the big dream of living on Kaua’i and facilitating the #MasterKeyExperience.

Personal Growth comes after self-development; discovery one.  Discovery two?  Personal growth is not possible without a healthy mindset.

5 Healthy Mindset Habits

If you are anything like me… if “inconveniences” annoy you… built more around instant gratification than patience… STOP.  These five self-development skills for a healthy mind are the fastest way to personal growth and manifesting beyond your imagination.

Everybody knows repetition is the mother of skill.  Making these self-development skills for a healthy mindset habits is mandatory if you desire to extinguish the “rinse and repeat self-help cycle and replace it with your full potential.

 5 Self-development skills for a healthy mindset.

 Self-development Skill Habit 1: Mindfulness and Gratitude

The importance of being present and focusing on the now, reducing stress and anxiety.

Daily gratitude practices: Journaling, meditation, or simply appreciating small things throughout the day. 

KEY: Write 3 “gratitudes” daily on an index card.  One gratitude per card.  And don’t forget to write out “I am grateful for each one. No repeats.  Once the easy ones are taken, you’ll become increasingly mindful.

Mindfulness and gratitude foster optimism and resilience. 

Self-development Skill Habit 2: Self-Awareness and Self-Compassion

Become an observer of your thoughts… without judgment. Understanding your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is the foundation of personal growth.  Practicing self-compassion by treating yourself with kindness and acceptance, especially during difficult times.

Self-awareness and self-compassion help you overcome negativity and build confidence. 

As Socrates said, “An unexamined life is not worth living” and he added, “Know thyself.” 

Self-development Skill Habit 3: Make and Keep Promises

While the importance of taking consistent action, no matter how small, to create progress and build momentum is crucial, most big dreams never materialize because we don’t follow through.  Here, you want to develop the habit that all people with a healthy mindset have.  They keep their promises… to everyone, including themselves. 

Start really small and use these 2 phrases.  I promise to, and I always keep my promises. And charge it with emotion.  Example, “I promise to take out the trash, and I always keep my promises.”  Say it loud, with excitement. 

When you take out the trash, celebrate and repeat “I always keep my promises” and “I did it!”… nothing, in my 37 years of studying metaphysics and personal growth, has anything come close to this in terms of building confidence.   After a couple of months, you can up the ante on the promises because you have trained subby! 

Self-development Skill Habit 4: Growth Mindset and Learning

Embracing challenges as opportunities for growth and learning, rather than seeing them as threats. Continuously seeking new knowledge about your behavior and new experiences to expand your horizons and develop new skills. The power of learning from setbacks and failures as valuable stepping stones to success. 

Reflect back to some tough times, and maybe filled with fear… I sure thought my existence was going to collapse multiple times.  Yet, here you are, reading this because you know you have more in you.  Notice your response to challenges, big and small, and remind yourself when experiencing them… “this to shall pass”… make it a mantra…traffic, argument with spouse, flat tire, short on rent… keep repeating “this to shall pass.” 

Self-development Skill Habit 5: Connection and Support

The importance of building positive and supportive relationships with people who encourage your growth.  Seeking out mentors, coaches, or support groups to provide guidance and accountability, and investing in your social connections and finding a sense of belonging, to enhance your well-being.
