048: A Practical Guide for Choosing Progress Over Perfection in 2022

18 minutes

The start of the new year is the perfect time to set new goals, but a lot of people set huge, unrealistic goals and then fizzle out by February feeling defeated. No more of that! In this episode, I’m sharing my practical guide for setting small, actionable goals to help you make actual progress in your life. The Wheel of Life is one of my favorite personal development and goal setting tools, and I’m showing you exactly how I use it!

Episode 43: How to Set Goals That Will Actually Change Your Life

Wheel of Life - https://medium.com/thrive-global/how-does-one-become-centered-and-balanced-bb28627a4461

3 key takeaways on this approach to goal setting:

Print out the Wheel of Life and evaluate your level of satisfaction in each area. Each area is open for interpretation of what it means to you, so take the time to define each one and what it means in your life.

Your bottom two or three lowest rated categories can become your first priority for setting small, actionable goals to help you grow or change in these areas.

Set a regular cadence throughout the year (i.e. every month or every quarter) to re-evaluate where you are in each category in your wheel. Notice where you’ve improved and where you might need to set some more goals.

Welcome to the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins (that’s me!). I work in corporate sales by day and am a personal development guru and Life Coach by night. My goal in this podcast is to share valuable and actionable tips on what I call the “Core Four” - mindfulness, movement, habits, and growth - so you can build a life that feels true to you. I will be interviewing people who have had a “wake up call” that their good-on-paper life wasn’t lighting them up, and what they did to change that. Join us every week for a new episode of the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins!
