Plan for Growth

You can plan for growth when you focus on a different area each day, or randomly choose something to work on. For any area you want to improve, list:
-Where you are now
-Where you want to be
-What will get you there: what you will do, by doing what? When? How often? How many? How much?
-What could get in the way: what problems you might encounter and how you will deal with them?
Just as we can make a plan for increasing exercise, we can plan to increase personal qualities like courage, relationship skills and many other areas of our lives.
Example Plan from “Power of Full Engagement” p.104:
Target: Increase realistic optimism
Where I am: Negative thoughts hold me back.
Where I want to be: I am a positive thinker.
What will get me there: Each evening I will write down problems in a journal and change perspective to view them as challenges and opportunities. I will write down things I am thankful for.
What could get in the way: Overcome pessimistic thinking with positive thinking. Negative thinking is likely when overly tired or discouraged by obstacles.
