Mindframing: A Proposed Framework for Personal Growth

Abstract

To date, no frameworks are specifically targeted at managing personal growth in a holistic manner, as opposed to solely focusing on educational or professional outcomes. Most frameworks are concerned with the planning of people’s career development, despite personal growth being considered a main pillar of psychological well-being. Following a discussion and definition of personal growth and its defining features, the paper proposes a framework for managing personal growth in order to help individuals achieve their potential through applied and iterative learning. The framework can also be used to enhance the theory and practice of personal growth.

Keywords: personal growth, self-development, mindframes, positive psychology
