05 Jan “This is How We Grow” 30-Day Personal Growth Plan–My New Year’s Gift to You!
As I write this, it’s the first Monday of the new year, and we all know the first Monday of the new year is the busiest day for personal growth. We turn our thoughts to letting go of the past and creating our vision for the future—or, at least, we try to.
We set goals, make resolutions, develop themes, and put our good intentions to work. At least, for a while. Research shows that by the end of January each year, approximately 64% of people are still working on their resolutions, wheras six months later, only 44% are sticking with it.[1]
However, we mustn’t give up hope, for research also shows that those who resolve to make positive change in their lives, whether they reach their goals right away or not, are ultimately more successful than those who fail to even try.
Why is it so hard to change?
Why is it so hard to achieve personal growth? I have a few ideas…
1) We don’t know how to change. We may know we want x, y, or z; we may really want to improve this, or overcome that. But, we don’t know how.
2) Change is hard, by nature. It’s part of the process of growth and change to struggle and fail, and to have to go back to the drawing board and try again. Understanding and even expecting this “spiral of change” is the key to true growth.
3) We focus too much on our own version of what “successful” change should look like, failing to see how much we’ve actually grown in the process. We think if we don’t stick to our goal, or if we mess up, we’ve failed, so we quit. We give up too soon, not realizing that “success” is really about growing, not about achieving some idealized goal.
4) We don’t have the support we need to stick with it. We need motivation, dedication, inspiration to make lasting change! When we are trying to change on our own, we may feel these things for a while, but long-term it definitely helps to have some encouragement, advice, and assistance from others.
So, what are we to do?

Hello Christine you have the very best of intentions for people and this I really appreciate. Surely though in order to grow there needs to be time for reflection to see where life has taken us and what direction we want to go in; if possible.
Thanks Josie
Absolutely, Josie, and I appreciate your comment. This plan focuses on questions and prompts to help people reflect on where they currently are and where they feel they need to go next. You’re so right–it takes time to figure these things out, and so I also encourage people who need more time to space out each lesson, to allow themselves as much time as they need before moving on. That’s something I feel is very important–to take personal growth at your own pace.
I would like to subscribe to the 30-Day Personal Growth Plan. I already subscribe to your newsletter – do I have to do anything special to subscribe to the plan? The subscribe link above doesn’t seem to be working for me.
Yes! I’m so glad you asked, Lisa, just to clarify. The registration opens on Wednesday, January 7, so watch for it. If you already subscribe to my newsletter, then you’ll get an email when it’s up and running. We’ve had a few technical difficulties getting everything set up, but it is coming soon! I just wanted to start telling people about it today. Let me know if you have any other questions, and I hope to “see” you on Wed! 🙂
Thank you!
This sounds great! I am looking forward to participating & GROWING!
