Tired of the same old New Year’s resolutions that never stick? In this episode, Justin and Janell tackle goal setting from a fresh, more intentional perspective. Whether it’s January or any other time of year, you don’t need a new week, month, or year to create positive change in your life. This conversation will help you ditch the overwhelm and reframe goals as tools to focus, grow, and feel the way you truly want to feel.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why Goals Matter: Goals help you focus, prioritize, and put positive energy toward areas of your life that need growth or improvement.
- How to Approach Goal Setting Differently: Start with how you want to feel and build your goals around creating that experience in your life.
- Outcome Goals vs. Behavior Goals: Understand the difference and why behavior goals are the key to achieving lasting results.
- Overcoming Limiting Beliefs: How fears of failure, overwhelm, or feeling like you don’t deserve success can sabotage your goals—and what to do about it.
- The Power of Smaller, Achievable Goals: Why focusing on realistic, incremental progress creates momentum and confidence.
Key Takeaways:
- Start with How You Want to Feel: Ask yourself, “How do I want to feel in my health, work, or relationships?” Goals aligned with feelings are far more powerful.
- Simplify the Process: Goal setting doesn’t have to be complex or stressful. Start with one goal and break it down into smaller, actionable steps.
- Identify Energy Leaks and Distractions: Goals help you recognize what’s not serving you and where you need better boundaries—personally and professionally.
- Reevaluate Often: Your goals can (and should) evolve. Check in monthly to adjust and stay aligned with what matters most to you.
- Success Begets Success: Start with achievable goals to build confidence and momentum. Small wins lead to big transformations.
Questions to Guide Your Goal Setting:
- Are you 100% happy, fulfilled, or satisfied in every area of your life? If not, what area would you like to improve?
- What outcome do you want to see? What behaviors will get you there?
- What are you willing to trade to achieve your goals? (e.g., late nights for earlier bedtimes, screen time for self-care).
- How do you want to feel this year? Peaceful? Energized? Present?
- What boundaries or habits will support that feeling?
Tips for Creating Lasting Change:
- Set small, realistic goals that stretch you without overwhelming you.
- Focus on behavior goals (actions you control) rather than just outcomes.
- Reframe goal setting as a positive, growth-oriented process—not a chore.
- Regularly evaluate your progress and adjust your goals as needed.
- Celebrate your wins, no matter how small, and use them as motivation to keep going.
Final Thought: Goals are less about chasing arbitrary results and more about creating a life that feels meaningful, intentional, and fulfilling. By focusing on how you want to feel and aligning your goals with that vision, you’ll set yourself up for success—one step at a time.
