What is Personal Transformation?
Personal transformation is a dynamic, individual process of expanding awareness so that you can become aware of the current you and start defining the new self-view. Then, choose to integrate these views into a revised self-definition.
An article in Psychology Today, posted on August 31, 2021, by Nina Ahuja BScHons, MD, FRCSC, CHE, states that personal transformation is a continual process. A positive outlook, a growth mindset, and introspection are all essential in helping you become a more robust and better version of yourself as you transform.
So, personal transformation is about improving yourself.
What do we need to do to reach our highest potential?
We need to take responsibility for our decisions and actions. The outcome will be personal satisfaction and a better quality of life.
The Road to Transformation
