EP 132: How to Feel Content Before You Reach Your Big Goals

Having goals, dreams, and passions to work towards is a guiding light in our lives. But how can we move through our current circumstances with acceptance, even if the end destination feels far away?Today, I’m taking you through a practice that has been fundamental for me in the day to day pursuit of my goals. Here’s the thing - there’s an underlying feeling associated with everything you want. If you want a new relationship, you want to feel loved. If you want to start a business, maybe you want to feel more fulfilled.If we can get to the root of the feeling we’re trying to access, we can feel that feeling right now. We actually don’t have to delay gratification until the moment we achieve our dreams. But what about the pain that exists in the now? What if I told you that running from the pain is only making it bigger?I’m going to tell you all about the technique I use personally, and with clients, to move through our pain bodies. After going to a meditation retreat, I was stunned to see the effects of sitting with my pain and actually paying attention to it. This has been the ultimate key to acceptance for me and everyone I’ve worked with.In this episode, we’re chatting about:Practicing contentment on the way to achieving your goalsThe two causes of suffering: aversion and cravingA simple meditation technique to settle down unpleasant emotionsHow to practice radical acceptance in your daily lifeConnect with me:WebsiteInstagramLinkedInYanet helps high-achieving women gain the clarity, confidence, and courage to stop holding themselves back so they can go after what they want unapologetically.Schedule a free clarity call with Yanet to identify what's holding you back and develop an action plan to go after what you want unapologetically: https://www.ybcoaching.com/coachingSee coaching client testimonials here: https://www.ybcoaching.com/testimonials
