  1. Take a “fake it till you make it” approach and pretend to have all the qualities you want to develop. Eventually, you'll become the person you've been pretending to be.
  2. Turn your daily commute into a personal growth opportunity by listening to audiobooks in a foreign language. Not only will you improve your language skills, but you'll also be able to confuse and impress your coworkers with your newfound vocabulary.
  3. Take up a hobby completely out of your comfort zone, like knitting or competitive eating. Not only will it help you develop new skills, but it will also give you something to talk about at parties.
  4. Challenge yourself to a “no complaining” day. Every time you catch yourself complaining, do 10 jumping jacks or run a lap around your office. By the end of the day, you'll be too tired to complain and too fit to care.
  5. Start a “gratitude jar.” Every day, write down something you're grateful for and put it in the jar. When you're feeling down, pull out a few notes and remind yourself of all the good things in your life.
  6. Make a “personal growth” playlist on Spotify and listen to it while you work out. Nothing gets you pumped up for self-improvement like a good Beyonce anthem.
  7. Try a “digital detox,” where you disconnect from technology for a day or two. Not only will it help you focus on the present moment, but it will also give you a newfound appreciation for how much time you spend scrolling through your social media feeds.
  8. Take a class in something completely random, like belly dancing or karate. Not only will it be a fun and unique experience, but you'll also have a cool new party trick to show off.
  9. Start a journal and write down three things you accomplished each day, no matter how small. By the end of the month, you'll have a long list of achievements to be proud of.
  10. Finally, remember to laugh at yourself. Personal growth is a journey, and sometimes it's going to be messy and hilarious. Embrace the absurdity and enjoy the ride.
