This week is all about how to not hurry towards our goals… because especially when it comes to the new year, we get so much BS pressure to “be better versions of ourselves” and we forget that beautiful truth that hey, actually, you’re perfect just as you already are.Goals that we intentionally set are not supposed to take the joy out of life.They are to invigorate us and keep us inspired......But not in the way a corporation wants to make more and more and more profits each year.
This week is all about how to not hurry towards our goals… because especially when it comes to the new year, we get so much BS pressure to “be better versions of ourselves” and we forget that beautiful truth that hey, actually, you’re perfect just as you already are.
Goals that we intentionally set are not supposed to take the joy out of life.
They are to invigorate us and keep us inspired...
...But not in the way a corporation wants to make more and more and more profits each year.
Rather, in the way a gardener tends their plots to produce more because the plants are happier and healthier.
Deep down we know that none of that sh*t really matters, and you are actually whole and worthy right here right now, even if you didn’t accomplish one single f*cking thing more.
What’s crazy – and delightful - is as we detach our worthiness from our goals, we have more freedom and creativity available to us…and often more success as a result.
This is why decreasing attachment to our goals is the best way to enter into the new year.
WTF?? Yes, it’s true! A lot of clients ask me, “Isn't the point of goals to be attached to the outcome, so getting there sooner is better than later?”
Nope.
Listen to this week’s Greatest Hits episode to learn how to apply this concept and ENJOY your dreams and aspirations (+ goals)!
