The Goal Trap
The Soulful Leader Podcast
Have you ever felt frustrated with goal setting?
Thinking ‘here I go again, next goal, next goal’?
Today, Maren & Stephanie offer an alternative to the on-going and soul sucking goal/achievement loop.
“How many amazing achievers have gone out there, achieved their goal and think, great... now what? Is this it?” ~ Stephanie J. Allen
Whether you’ve used SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) goals, tend towards BHAGs (Big Hairy Audacious Goals) or feel ‘done’ with goals all together, this conversation holds keys for you.
Using metaphors, insights and the concrete example of losing weight, Stephanie and Maren bring an entirely different way of thinking to the table, a deeper level of internal metamorphosis.
Have you experienced the “I want to lose weight. I go on a diet, I do all the things I lose weight. Oh shit, it's back” yoyo? What if you could address that from a completely different place that's actually going to up level you?
This is not a “don't set goals” podcast, it’s an option that goes beyond what society offers.
If stepping into a deeper version of goals, and of yourself, is of interest, you’ll want to tune in!
