Setting goals means giving yourself the opportunity to challenge yourself and evolve. To become a better version of yourself. This is all the more effective when it comes to personal development goals. I also think that there is something very encouraging in achieving a goal. It will motivate us to do more and it will stimulate our determination. I have set myself some personal development goals that I would like to share with you. To inspire you, give you ideas or others. And I also include some links to books that I really liked.
For the mind:
Read a book on personal development
I make sure to buy one every month that I will read quietly when I have time. Generally it is during transport time that I read the most. Every piece of advice and idea is likely to help us become a better version of ourselves . It is also a real source of inspiration. Sometimes you finish a book with a new frame of mind and new projects. The determination to change certain things and that is why I find them very useful.

Avoid screens after work
We are part of a generation which, if we listened to ourselves, would spend their entire days in front of a screen. And it’s a huge waste of time. Depending on our business, we are already dealing with computers all day, so we might as well put that aside once I get home.
Not only is it bad for the eyes but in addition there are a lot of things to do that do not involve a screen. It’s time to develop a new activity . Something that you enjoy doing but that you have stopped due to lack of time. Draw? To write ? Read? Play an instrument ?
Keep a diary
Keeping a journal can be done in different ways. You can for example use it to write down what is happening every day in your life . How you feel etc. Or, you can use a journal to express your gratitude and gratitude . This is something that allows you to focus on the positive and avoid thinking of the negative. Or what you lack.
I discovered the Five Minute Journal because I am Mimi Ikonn on Instagram (one of the founders of this little newspaper). And I found the idea absolutely brilliant. Spending 5 minutes each day writing what makes us happy allows us to cultivate a real positivism. And I noticed that it was also the way to realize what we have. Because we tend to think that everything around us is normal when ultimately it is not.

Get rid of the useless
Tidying up your apartment / office / bedroom and sorting will allow you to see more clearly. You may not know it, but the whole mess around you affects your mind. Because unconsciously, decluttering your space is decluttering your mind .
