Published 1 year, 8 months ago
Description
If you’ve ever set a goal, felt super motivated for a couple of weeks, and then let it fall apart or if goal-setting feels so overwhelming that you avoid it altogether—this episode is for you. I’m sharing a fresh approach to setting goals that align with your identity. Whether you want to embrace a new habit, take on a new challenge, or simply follow through on what matters to you, this episode will give you actionable tips to get started—and keep going.
Here's what you'll learn:
- How to set goals that stick (even if you have struggled with being consistent the past)
- How identity-based goals create sustainable change
- The role self-talk plays in taking action (and why it’s the foundation of executive functioning)
- How perfectionism, “should” thinking, and all-or-nothing expectations sabotage goals
