It is very easy in life to just drift day in and day out. In fact before you know it you have gone from being 18 years of age and finished high school to mid 30s with a job, family and loads of commitments. Then the next time you look up your 60 and wondering where has it all gone.
To help ensure success in life it is a great idea to have a personal development plan, to help guide us along life's road. Your personal development is not a destination; you'll never get 'there' wherever 'there' is. Your personal development plan is ongoing, so as you accomplish or master one area of your life you will move onto the next level or expand that area.
It is very common for individuals to have a mental block about where they want to go in life, or what it takes to have success in a particular area. In fact for most people they would prefer others sorting it out for them and just letting them know what to do.
Your personal development plan should help point you in the direction you want to go in life, it should help set a pathway of where you currently are and where you would like to end up. Your personal development plan can also be in numerous areas of your life such as
1. Physical health
2. Mental/emotional
3. Spiritual
4. Achievement/recreation
5. Financial
6. Relationships-romantic and family
Identifying areas that need development:
This is the first step to starting and constructing your own plan. I suggest you begin by identifying the areas in your life that need attention. It can be challenging to identify areas of your life that need development, especially if you are not in tune with who you are, what you desire, what you have and do not have.
You have to be aware of where your life is now in terms of what's working and what's not, and also what you are ignoring totally. Just because you have tried in the past to develop certain areas of your life and failed, doesn't mean you cannot be successful in the future, the timing may just be wrong.
For many of us our personal development goals are just not strong enough, they have no 'humph' in them, no great desire behind them so we keep changing them from day to day or year to year. I'm sure you know those people who on January 1st every year list out the things they want to achieve for that year, when they have not even tried to accomplish their goals for the previous year.
So to identify the areas in your life you need to develop, the first thing you need to do is to ask yourself "what are the areas in my life that are very important to me and to my well being and my existence."
What are your personal development goal for each Area:
Next step is to write down everything that you would like to improve for each area as it relates to your personal growth. In most cases your development goal is going to be about either building on your existing strengths or developing new skills and competencies. So under 'physical' you can state how you would like your body to look, do you need to join a gym today, stop eating meat, exercise five times a week and so on.
The key here is to write down anything and everything that comes into mind. There is no right or wrong just write it down. You can include short-term goals -something you may want to achieve this week and also long-term goals -things you want to achieve in twenty to twenty-five years. Make the goals ones that you can get excited about.
The third step to creating your personal development plan is to put a time line to your goals and outcomes. It's not important right now to know how you are going to accomplish your goals. All you do right now is to write down a time frame within which you will want to achieve the goal by. If one year is your time frame and you are committed to this then write down one year. If it's five years then write down five years.
Begin with your one-year goal:
You want to choose the one goal that you consider to be the most important in any of the areas you have identified, make it a goal that would give your great excitement and make you feel that your year was well spent if you were to accomplish it.
Next write a paragraph or two stating why you are totally committed to achieving this goal within the year. Include why this is a must for you, what benefits will you gain by achieving it, what will you lose or miss if you didn't achieve it. Whatever reasons you come up with ensure that they are strong enough to get you to follow through. If they are not, then come up with better and more empowering reasons or better goals.
Where are you now:
The fourth step after you have decided on your one year goals is to break the goal down into manageable steps and tasks to help you achieve the outcome. Often breaking things down into monthly targets followed by weekly targets or activities followed by daily tasks or activities helps to make the process seem so easy and so reachable.
For example if my one year goal was to achieve an income of $ 60,000 then I know I need to achieve an income of $ 5,000 per month, which breaks down to about $ 1200 per week, I can then look at the activities or the tasks that I need to do to achieve that. Or if my goal was to lose 10kg then that means losing and keeping off 1kg per month.
By breaking it down it allows your goals and outcomes to seem manageable and makeable, it keeps you on the straight and narrow path and it keeps you taking baby steps forward all the time.
The end result:
The fifth step is about creating a vision, an emotional attachment to your outcomes that get you excited in achieving those results. At this point what you do is to imagine what it would be like if you got up tomorrow morning and your problem was solved. Write down how you will feel, what you will be thinking and what it will be like. Make sure these statements are made in the affirmative and are positive. So instead of writing "I feel o.k. about the way I'm dressing now" you should write "I fell happy and confident about my clothes and how they look on me"
Action plan:
Finally you need to identify what you need to do to take you to where you want to be. This is the time to think creatively about what you need to do. There is a wide range and a large number of resources out there, ready and waiting for you to use to take you in the right direction. There will be a mixture of self-study, formal training, informal training and "on the job" experiences.
Only you will know what's best for you, your budget and your lifestyle. So if your goal is to be physically fit then you will want to find out information on health and fitness. Your fist stop would be your doctor, and then maybe a trainer, then you need information on a gym that fits what you need. You get what I mean.
After you have written down all the things you need to do, put them in some order so that you know what you will be doing first, and what's next and so on. Break it down to its simplest task if possible. Take your time when doing your plan, and one important point is that it doesn't have to be perfect, so do not try and make it so.
Your Reward:
Though not necessary you may want to include a series of rewards as you make progress and achieve the smaller goals. You can make it as simple as a slice of your favourite cheesecake after you have been working out for six weeks. For some people no extra incentives are required, the improvement is reward enough but small rewards are a good idea still.
