Setting goals

I’ve had a story about setting goals. That story is that goals suck.

I’ve set goals, big goals for my life, and then not achieved them. So why would I set goals when I’m just going to fail? It’s disappointing and it makes me feel powerless.

But I’m re-writing this story. Instead of setting a big “doing” goal, I am using a lens of “being”. Setting goals then becomes about how I want my life to feel and what are the next steps to create more energetic alignment.

This way of goal-setting feels empowering. I have agency over these goals.

I’ve learned a lot about how I function best over the last few years. This system is aligned with what I know about what works well for me.

It’s about what is the next right step.

It’s about small shifts that feel possible now and can lead to big things… but the point is making the small shift.

I’m choosing to trust that when I set myself up for Being, when I create the right conditions for my soul to flourish, and then take the next right step, the other more concrete goals will fall into place as they’re meant to, without so much efforting on my part.

Because I don’t know how to plan out my year. But I DO know how to trust my intuition figure out my next right step.
