Becoming your best self in 2023 is an incredible goal to set. And one you should definitely be striving for! Though it can be a daunting goal to set without a logistical plan in place for how to actually become your best self. Having a personal growth plan in place at the start of the year is one of the best ways to accomplish this goal and why we are discussing the beneficial ideas for your personal growth plan in 2023.
When you are making your personal growth plan I recommend taking it slow and adding the items in gradually over time.
Don’t overwhelm yourself by trying to tackle the entire personal growth plan at once. That will lead to the process being stressful and increase the likeliness that the whole plan gets abandoned far before you can benefit from it.
On a similar note, make sure to give yourself grace and be patient with yourself. Making an actual plan for your personal growth is essential but taking the actionable steps involves a lot more effort and life will inevitably throw you curve balls this year. So roll with the punches and if you fall off of your personal growth plan that is okay! Shake yourself off, give yourself grace, and resume when you can.
Also, before jumping into the personal growth plan ideas let’s quickly discuss the reasons that working on personal growth is so important.
The reasons a personal growth plan is so important:
- Personal growth is the best way to ensure you are focusing on becoming the best version of you. Without putting work into self growth you may be just coasting along and not putting enough work into becoming a better you.
- It is also so helpful for your relationships- romantic, friendship, family, even professional. When you grow as a person you often because a better communicator and generally better at participating in healthy relationships.
- Personal growth helps you discover what you really want out of life. It can help you figure out what you want your future to look like which is essential for actually making that future happen.
- It can relieve stress and help you overall live a happier life.
That all being said it is now time to jump into these ideas so you can start creating your growth plan for 2023!

Beneficial Ideas For Your Personal Growth Plan in 2023
Personal growth steps to take in 2023:
Idea 1: Learn to meditate daily.
Meditation is an incredible tool for working on becoming more aware.
When you are meditating you are alone with your thoughts and focusing 100% of your energy on those thoughts. Which allows you to eliminate distractions and pressures from the rest of the world. Which ultimately can help you see yourself more realistically and become more aware.
I recommend either downloading a meditation app or just searching for videos on YouTube until you find a guided one that works for you as you start meditating. And then grab a yoga/meditation matand start working on meditation and figuring out your true self.
Idea 2: Make a list of your passions.
It’s simple but can really get you in touch with what you really love and what is a priority to you. Just sit down and grab a notebook and just start making a brainstormed list of all of the things you are passionate about and what inspires you.
Then you can go back over the list and evaluate which you believe are truly the most important to you. This will help you realize what you should focus on during your personal growth efforts. And it will help you stay in touch with your emotions and what you really want rather than what you may think you (or others) want to be a priority on the surface level.

Idea 4: Start setting more goals.
Make sure to include daily, monthly, annual, and 5 year goals. Goal setting is a fantastic habit that doesn’t take long but can really have a positive impact on your life, especially on your mindset.
This is so helpful for really having a personal growth plan that pushes you to become the best version of yourself in all aspects of your life.

Idea 5: Start planning your days in the morning.
Using a daily planner and planning out your days is so important for bettering your life.
I use the Erin Condren Life Planner and love it so much for staying organized and productive.
Planning your days in the morning is so helpful for your personal growth plan because it helps you ensure that you are working on your personal growth throughout the day and that you have time for all of it.
Idea 6: Practice gratitude every day
Gratitude is an essential thing for having a more intentional life and growing as a person. It allows you to keep things in perspective and be honest about the positives in your life. Which are so helpful for having more balance in your life.
So if you are lacking that mentality of thankfulness and gratitude then you need to start learning how to! When you are thankful for the things in your life and regularly taking the time to think about your blessings you will feel yourself start to feel more intentional.
One of the best ways to do this is to start doing daily gratitude journaling. This doesn’t have to be a huge time commitment. Just grab a gratitude journal (here’s one that is less than $10) and add it into your night time routine. It should only take about 10 minutes but it can really help you feel more grateful and happier.
Idea 7: Always make a daily to do list
I live by to do lists and find it so insanely helpful to write to do lists for each day, week, and month. This can be in your planner, on a notebook, or on a note on your phone. Regardless, this habit can help you be intentional about how you spend the time in your day.
I like to make sub to-do lists as well, like I will do a more vague to-do list for the whole day and then do a list for my work, a list for cleaning, a list for my site, etc.
If you want more details on how to write and really follow your daily to do lists then you need to go check out my detailed guide: How to Make an “Every Day Goals” List.
Idea 8: Choose and start doing 5 daily affirmations.
Positive daily affirmations are so helpful and wonderful for starting every day the right way. This is definitely an idea I recommend adding to your personal growth plan this year.
Here are some of my favorite daily affirmations if you are new to doing them:
- I am capable of anything I want to do.
- I have learned the right skills to succeed.
- My future is determined by only me.
- I am worthy of love.
- I find joy in daily occurrences.
Idea 9: Create a positive morning routine.
Take the time to create and start implementing the morning routine that will work the best for you.
Think about what you wish you were doing every morning. As well as what things you could do in the morning to improve yourself and grow.
I have my self improvement morning routine that you can get some inspiration from here.
Idea 10: Prioritize getting out of your comfort zone.
Getting out of your comfort zone means a lot more than just traveling to a new place (though travel is important, read about that below).
It means taking on new projects at work. You could start picking up a hobby you have always wanted to try. Or just trying new restaurants and coffee shops.
Making an effort to at least once a month but ideally once a week get out of your comfort zone can be life changing and is one of the most important steps for personal growth in your twenties.
