Are you tired of beating yourself up over unmet goals? You know...the ones you keep SAYING you want to achieve, but then don't take action towards?
In this raw and honest episode, we're diving deep into why we keep setting the same goals without following through - and why that might actually be a good thing.
Through my personal journey with fitness and exercise, we explore the complex relationship between our goals, societal expectations, and authentic desires.
🍋🟩 Juicy talking points:
- The impact of unmet goals on self-confidence & self-image
- How societal conditioning influences our goal-setting
- The difference between discipline and authentic motivation
- Finding peace with changing priorities
- Breaking free from shame-based goal setting
📝 Journal Prompts for Reflection: (I encourage you to type these into the Notes app on your phone and think about each one for a minute or two!
- 1️⃣. What do I say I want to be doing (or what do I say my goal is) but I'm not doing it & why?
- 2️⃣. Is NOT prioritizing this goal a bad thing? Or was I conditioned to set this goal and believe that way?
- 3️⃣. What WAS my 'why' when I initially set this goal & what is my 'why' now...if I have one at all?
- 4️⃣. Can I accept myself if I release this goal all together?
