I love how you break things down so clearly to reveal what so many of us are thinking right now!
"It was always about becoming the person who is able to achieve that goal." Yes yes yes. Instead of making impossible goals like -- "even though I never EVER meditate I'm going to wake up and meditate for 20 minutes every morning this year" it's about reshaping our own narrative and our inner-critique to make room to become somebody who CAN achieve those goals. I like to make goals surrounding having more self-compassion and awareness of my inner monologue for these exact reasons. Without expressing compassionate towards ourselves when we miss our goals, we won't become a person able to achieve them. For this reason, I also like making really small goals in order to create new habits that I can actually achieve.
I missed last week's issue so just catching up now -- so wonderful! Xo
You're absolutely right, self-compassion & self-awareness are SO immensely critical when it comes to goal-setting. Otherwise we're just setting ourselves up for disappointment & self-flagellation when we inevitably fall short of our ideal-self goals.
I'm catching up on comments after a very rough year, so thank you so much for reading & commenting, Ali! <3
