035: Less Goal Oriented. More Practice Oriented.

Meg opens this conversation by challenging a deeply ingrained cultural norm. What if the problem is not that people lack goals, but that they are too focused on them?Meg and Jillian explore the tension between being goal oriented and being present in the daily practices that actually lead to those goals. Meg reflects on how she approaches her work and life with intuition and aligned steps rather than rigid long term planning. Instead of mapping everything out in advance, she focuses on taking the next few steps with presence and trust.The conversation unpacks how anxiety often appears when people try to control outcomes too far into the future. When the focus shifts back to the present moment and the practices happening right now, clarity and momentum naturally return.Meg shares a simple example from her own life. When she prioritized attending a fitness class instead of overloading her schedule with too many commitments, she reinforced the daily practice that supports her long term health goals.Jillian reflects on how presence changes the way she experiences her day. Small moments like playing a simple card game with her son become powerful anchors that pull her back into the moment when her mind starts racing ahead.Together they explore how society often teaches people to chase outcomes while overlooking the daily actions that actually create them. Whether the goal is a healthy relationship, a thriving business, or personal fulfillment, the path forward is almost always found in the practices of today.Meg closes the episode with a reminder that goals themselves are only guesses. The real work happens in the process. When people begin to love the journey and the practices within it, they often find themselves accomplishing more with less pressure and more joy.What This Episode Explores• Why goals are often guesses about what we think we want• The difference between being goal oriented and practice oriented• Anxiety that appears when people try to plan too far ahead• The power of presence in daily life• Intuition versus over strategizing• Small practices that support long term goals• Anchors that bring us back to the present moment• Why loving the process creates sustainable growthKey Takeaways• Goals can provide direction, but daily practices create real progress.• Anxiety often comes from trying to control too many steps ahead.• Presence allows intuition to guide aligned actions.• Small daily choices reinforce the life we want to build.• When people focus on the process, results often follow more naturally.We Would Love to Connect With YouYour reflections, questions, and lived experiences mean so much to us.If this episode resonates, please share it, leave a review, or reach out.Connect with JillianWebsite: https://trellissuite.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillian-pezet-trellis/Email: [email protected] with MegWebsite: www.profoundwellness.netEmail: [email protected]: facebook.com/megan.fikseInstagram: instagram.com/m.laidlawMeg’s OfferingsHeart Math BioFeedback Device: https://www.heartmath.com/coachmegSelf Mastery Program:https://www.profoundwellness.net/self-mastery-programBold Beautiful Life Membership:https://www.profoundwellness.net/membershipBold Beautiful Business Mastermind:https://www.profoundwellness.net/mastermindMentioned in this episode:Outro Dyn AD
