Mental activities you can engage in includes reading a book, listening to a podcast, watching YouTube videos, among other things.
Social growth
Social growth involves improving your relationships. The best way this can be achieved is by effective communication. You will be required to practice how to articulate your thoughts such that you are clearly understood. Social growth could also require that you learn new languages, cultures and acceptable traits so that you can blend in new places and easily make friends.
Another important aspect of social growth is to be an active listener and contributor to meetings and events you are a part of. You should ensure you participate and are recognized for your contribution. This means you will learn to develop self confidence by gaining mastery on diverse subjects ad observing etiquette so you can socialize freely.
Spiritual growth
This means you connect deeply to God and serve to the best of your understanding and ability. Spiritual growth is quite broad, but at every point, your pursuit must come with assurance and peace. Spiritual growth is reflected in your adoption of beliefs and values, and how you advocate love and peace for humanity. It can also be revealed in activities like fellowship with people of similar beliefs and values. One major characteristic of spirituality is prayer which is communing with God. Prayer is done in different ways, but there can be no spirituality without prayers.
Emotional growth
Emotions are very volatile, and growth emotionally is seen in your ability to manage your feelings. Feelings are fickle but in the spur of the moment, they cause us to react in diverse ways. You are growing emotionally if you learn how to respond appropriately to different situations, no matter how dire they may seem. You can also measure emotional growth when you can express how you feel freely, without the urge to consistently disregard or invalidate your emotions. You should learn to maintain decorum even in the most extreme of emotional circumstances.
Physical growth
You go physically to the degree you adequately take care of your body. This encompasses sleeping habits, meals, exercises, rest and so on. You should learn to listen to your body and rest appropriately when required. You will be more productive when your body is treated well.
Growing never stops but it always a good deal when attention is paid to these areas at an early stage.
