Is Personal Growth today's term for Spiritual Awareness?
The purpose of this lens is to help you understand what exactly personal growth is and why it's important. From what the "experts" teach, there are themes or commonalities one can draw from. This lens will share the commonalities.
And yes, I'm going to keep it real. I'm going to address the shadow side (for all you Jungian psychology buffs) as well as the persona we all express to our worlds. This is what is often called Authenticity, the ability to look at and accept our brightest and darkest "inner features."
You will come across ideas, concepts, and insights here and you're going to stop and think... about your purpose in this lifetime. These experiences are what Personal Growth is... learning something new about yourself and making some kind of shift to live in ways that honor the new perspective.

How to be your own best friend
What do you do to nurture yourself? Many of your answers may provide short term care for yourself (watching TV, eating sweets, having a drink) but create harm in the long term.How about the last time you told yourself to take a deep breath? (Did you know that your brain needs oxygen, and [unfortunately] as people age, they breathe in less oxygen.)
What if you meditated 10-15 minutes a day? Or if you sat with great posture and were more conscious of your breath? You would feel so much healthier, happier, and peaceful.
But do you really want peace? After all, drama is pretty attractive. You can have the drama, but pay attention to how your body reacts to it. Observe how you tense up, hold your breath, etc.
There are tons of resources for what to do to be more spiritually aware. Listen to them, but take the time to discern if they really resonate for you. Who knows you better than you? Be careful of the teachers who claim to know what's best for you.
Are you hard on yourself? Everyone is their own worst critic. What if you gave yourself more compliments? You stood in front of the mirror more often and told yourself what you appreciate about you. Would you like yourself more?
You'll feel significant when you have a positive impact on the people around you but you'll feel purpose when you have a positive impact on yourself.
