Hallo und herzlich willkommen zur 26. Episode des Drachenreiten Podcasts. Heute beschäftigen wir uns mit einem sehr tiefgreifenden Thema – Dinge die Menschen am Ende ihres Lebens bedauern.
Viel Spaß beim Hören.
Shownotes:
5 Dinge die Sterbende am meisten bereuen:
1. Ich wünschte ich hätte den Mut gehabt, ein Leben zu leben, bei dem ich mir selbst treu bleibe, nicht das Leben das andere von mir erwartet haben.
Wessen Leben lebt man? Lebt man die eigenen Träume und Wertevorstellungen oder die, der Leute in seinem unmittelbaren Umfeld?

СогласныеЦелиВ этом выпуске обсуждаем одну из самых важных и любимых нами тем – целеполагание.
Говорим о том, почему постановка и прописывание целей часто вызывают сомнения, смех и страх у нашего окружения; как наш мозг мешает целеполаганию; почему деньги не могут быть целью и где они вообще стоят в цепочке желаний.
Даем план действий, чтобы не утонуть в ненужных задачах, идя к своей мечте. Вместе справляемся с проблемой дофамина от "галочки". Учимся говорить «нет» и оставлять только то, что нужно.
Путь от мечты к ежедневным задачам:
Прописать свои желания, мечты и цели: выход за рамки, чтобы понять, что действительно хотите вы (необходимо забыть об ограничениях и мечтать смело!)
Найти истинно ваши желания, а не навязанные обществом, друзьями, семьей и партером
Обоснование желаний: ответить на вопросы «Зачем я это хочу?» / «Почему мне это нужно?»
Создание дороги к заветному желанию: собрать всю возможную информацию о том, что хочется получить, чтобы она не казалась нереальной (ответить на вопрос «Что нужно сделать?)
Построить план: описать цели на год, квартал, месяц, неделю, день
Каждую неделю/месяц просматривать цели и планы, чтобы корректировать или убирать ненужное
