How to Create & Celebrate Your Goals & Dreams After 50

from Finding True Love After 50 · host Joanie Marx

When you fulfill a big goal or dream, it is only natural to celebrate the achievement.In fact, many people of our generation were taught not to celebrate until a major goal is achieved. Celebrating too early could have even resulted in being shamed and reprimanded.  This may have made sense early on in life, but is this approach reasonable for those of us in our 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond?  What if you set small goals along the path to where the life of your big dreams lives, and celebrated those goals before you reached your ultimate, desired outcome?    Are there benefits to celebrating smaller achievements that we were not taught to about in our youth, but could be of great benefit to us at this stage of life?  In episode #85 of Finding True Love After 50, we will look at why enjoying your progress and celebrating the small successes not only keeps you motivated and inspired in the face of obstacles or setbacks, but it also helps build and sustain momentum to reach your big dreams after 50.  This episode covers step #8 in our new 10-part series titled “10 Steps to Create an Inspired Action Plan”. In this series, I will share with you ten simple steps to create an inspired action plan for your dreams after 50.👉 IN EPISODE #85 YOU WILL LEARN: • Why celebrating small goals can reinforce the power of visualization.  • Three powerfully effective steps to setting and celebrating small goals.  • What specific journaling technique that helps you measure milestones and track your progress.  • The immense benefits of setting future goals and their effect on present-day activities.     • Two journal prompts and an inspired action item for creating small goals that can accelerate the achievement of your life’s biggest dreams.👉 ABOUT THIS PODCAST:Hi, I'm Joanie Marx.
