EP 58 Why Your Goals Are Really About Identity

Do your goals require you to become more or less? Goals are not about what you get, they’re about who you become. In this episode of UPLEVEL, Dr. Jenna explores how to cultivate a different relationship with goals and achieve true alignment. Tuning in, you’ll hear all about why your goals need to be about improving yourself, not performing for anyone else, why a lack of an identity change will result in failed goals, what happens in the nervous system when goals are resisted, ‘down-goaling’, and much more! We delve into the difference between SMART goals and stretch goals before discussing why you need to ask yourself if your goal is worthy of you, not if you’re worthy of your goal. Dr. Jenna also shares her three-step goal-setting framework and encourages listeners to identify one clear goal that they can work towards this year, determine what identity that goal requires, and ask themselves what belief they need to release to achieve that goal. Finally, we touch on the power of letting your goals shape who you want to become.
