I learned about meditation back in my High School days and have been practicing it on and off ever since. Recently, I’ve found that I really enjoy taking some time out of my day to just breathe and be present. Remember, there are many wonderful forms of meditation and prayer that you can explore, this is just one way that I like to practice.

Most importantly, meditation doesn’t need to be intimidating. If you’re wondering how to meditate, or simply how to get started, check out this video. I explain why I started meditating, the benefits I’ve seen, and provide some tips on how to get started with meditation.

The Four Types of Personal Growth: Which One Do You Need Right Now?

Written by

As I enter this new phase of my life, largely having complete control over my time, I’ve been thinking quite a bit about how I should be spending my time and attention. Outside of a typical career, personal growth can be a little more difficult to track. Without the traditional promotions and positions, I’ve had to come up with my own definitions of growth and success. Right now, reigning in my schedule, creating my own accountability structure, and working efficiently are my priorities.

Historically, I’ve allowed myself to get distracted by exciting new projects, meeting random interesting people, and generally expanding my social sphere. What I’ve realized in the past few weeks, is that right now is not the time for that particular type of growth. Currently, my primary focus is making videos and writing for this site, as I have a ton of ideas and opportunities to do so–now it’s simply a matter of producing and executing on that plan.

That’s what got me thinking about these different types of personal growth and how, if we’re able to recognize which we need, we can make better decisions on how to spend our time and energy. Each type of personal growth will benefit us more or less depending on whether we need to discover new interests and redefine who we are, or simply go ‘heads down’ and crank out the work.

While they can be blended, even switched back and forth each day or week, it’s important to be aware of which type you’re currently in. That way, your attention can be focused in a meaningful way on achieving that particular type of growth. Knowing this will also prevent you from getting too laser focused on the wrong narrow path if what you really need is to be expanding yourself in all directions.

This is the first time I’ve shared this idea about the types of personal growth, so please check out the video above and leave a comment below when you’ve figured out which type you’re geared towards right now. I’d love to hear what you think!

Make One Small Change to Create Massive Results

We all have aspirations and goals, but what is standing between us and those dreams? Most of the time, it’s one small change that creates massive results.  All it takes is a shift of mentality and a little bit of action.

While it may simple, the small change really does make a difference. Over the last three years, this philosophy has allowed me to become a minimalist, declutter our home, build a popular blog, and recently quit my full-time job. You can use the same strategies to accomplish whatever you desire.
