Episode 20 - A New and Powerful Way to Think About Resolutions

I used to hate to make goals and resolutions for a new year.  I had gotten so used to failing to reach my goals and resolutions that I stopped doing them.  I hated the idea of goals because it felt like having a goal and writing it down was the most concrete way to determine that I was a failure once I couldn't reach my goal.  I dreaded making resolutions because even the process made me feel like a complete and total failure.  Until I did this one thing.  I learned how to align my goals with what I truly wanted in soul and spirit.  Once I learned to cast off the expectations of others and my misplaced desires, I was able to come up with goals that I truly wanted.  Instead of feeling like I didn't have the motivation or wondering if there was something wrong with me... I asked 3 questions.  Do I really want the goals and resolutions I came up with.  Are they truly aligned with my soul?  What do I truly want?  What are the actions I need to take to achieve what I truly want?  Once I aligned my purpose, desires and intentions, everything flowed more freely.Own Your Life Podcast is produced by Gregg Nordin.Why You Need to Embrace Change and How to do It  subscribe in itunes
