Ever feel like your New Year's goals have disappeared into thin air by July? You're not alone. This candid mid-year check-in explores what it truly means to set goals that enhance rather than diminish your confidence.
We dive deep into the reality of goal-setting—the successes, the struggles, and the goals that simply haven't seen the light of day since January. I share my personal journey with my eight personal and six business goals for 2025, from my improved presence with loved ones to my untouched herb planters still sitting empty on my kitchen counter. This transparent look at goal progress reminds us that perfection isn't the point—intentional growth is.
The episode offers practical strategies that have transformed my own goal-keeping, including the game-changing practice of setting goals as device screensavers, breaking aspirations into tiny achievable wins, and anchoring each goal to your deeper "why." Most importantly, we explore the freedom that comes with modifying or even completely dropping goals that no longer align with your current season, energy levels, or true desires. Remember, goals should serve you, not shame you.
What goals will you reset, modify, or celebrate as you move into the second half of 2025? There's still so much year left to finish strong and grow in confidence. If this resonates with you, please share it with a friend who might need this reminder, or leave a review to help others discover these confidence-building conversations. Let's embrace progress over perfection together.
