In this episode, Julia and Kayla discuss the importance of setting empowering goals as we enter the new year. This episode is a masterclass on goal setting psychology & self-empowerment strategies... so that you actually get yourself across the finish line. If you've googled "What are the best new year's resolutions for me?"... you should probably listen now!
The conversation delves into recognizing negative thought patterns, the significance of reflection on past attempts, and the shift from 'should' to 'choose' in decision-making, providing actionable steps for achieving goals - while highlighting the importance of aligning actions with personal values and intentions so that you achieve your new year's resolutions, instead of abandoning them!
If you're looking for help with sustainable habit formation to break negative thought patterns holding you back... this episode is for YOU.
Other things they cover include:
- the importance of setting realistic goals, embodying the identity associated with those goals (so that you are chasing identity-based habits instead of just a list of things you don't actually care about)
- the significance of self-acceptance in the journey of personal growth and mindful goal achievement
- breaking down habits into manageable actions
- the role of therapy in understanding one's mindset
- the need to challenge negative self-perceptions
- why personal growth is a continuous journey, not limited to the start of a new year
- how to embrace your current identity while striving for improvement.
