In this episode, Annaliese and Alan dive into the practical side of personal growth. They share real-life examples of daily efforts and the tangible steps that lead to meaningful change.
YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT:
- Personal growth requires conscious, intentional steps and different actions. Shifting your focus helps you spot opportunities for change and encourages a growth mindset.
- Growth means doing things differently than you've been doing them. This involves you making intentional tweaks starting here and now, not waiting for perfect circumstances or more motivation. Regular self-check-ins and adjustments to your schedule and your daily to-do lists can support you as you pursue your new direction and identity.
- Reflecting for yourself on what growth means you would do differently: Are you shifting your focus? Are you making new decisions throughout your day? Are you picking new priorities and new ways to spend your time?
- Setting realistic and helpful growth standards is crucial. Moving away from all-or-nothing or perfectionism can greatly enhance your growth process.

STEPS TO PRACTICE GROWTH:
1. Notice what mindset you're starting out with. Is it open and curious, or narrow and pressured? Choose a mindset that supports you trying new things and growing in a new direction.
2. Focus on what it will take to practice over time, not just achieve outcomes. Growth is a process, so create a positive thought and feeling environment for yourself as you go along.
3. Set goals that matter to you, not ones you feel you "should" pursue. This is a natural motivator, and helps increase your follow-through and satisfaction along the way.
4. Celebrate every step as you go in your new direction. True growth happens as you become more authentically you, and this journey is filled with valuable moments that you're choosing with every Yes you say.
