Happy Valentine's Day, dear listeners!
Do you often find yourself believing that achieving a particular goal will bring you happiness?
Do you catch yourself thinking, "I'll be happier when..." or "I'll be more relaxed after I finish this project, or when my kids' soccer season is over, etc..."?
If you're aiming to lose a specific amount of weight, have you considered how you'll feel upon reaching that goal? Is it conceivable to generate those same feelings for yourself now, or along the journey to your goal?
In today's episode, we delve into the notion that our pursuit of a specific goal is often fueled by the anticipated emotional outcome it promises. This underlying motivation may not always be immediately apparent, but it invariably influences our actions.
The empowering truth is that we possess the ability to intentionally cultivate the emotions we desire. Our emotional state doesn't have to hinge on external conditions or circumstances. Rather, it's the thoughts we consciously attend to that mold the feelings we experience. Happiness, peace, gratitude—these, like all other emotions, stem from the thoughts we prioritize.
