Total Health in Midlife with Elizabeth Sherman

200: Goals are Just Guesses


Listen Later

Ever fail achieving a goal and then just want to forget about it? In this episode of the Total Health in Midlife podcast, I take the traditional approach to goal-setting and turn it on its head in favor of diving into what really matters: flexibility and authenticity. I opened up about my own journey—setting big, ambitious goals, only to realize that the real growth came when I allowed myself to change course.

Let me challenge you to rethink how you're setting goals. Are they truly in line with who you are today? We'll explore the power of behavior-based goals—where daily actions, not just outcomes, take center stage. This shift can transform your sense of accomplishment, keeping you motivated and grounded in the present.

I'll share how releasing the pressure to achieve unrealistic expectations can lead to building sustainable habits and embracing change without the weight of guilt. After all, it’s not about hitting every target; it’s about the journey, self-compassion, and aligning your goals with your values.

Tune in for a fresh perspective that just might change how you see your personal growth and the goals you’re working towards. You might find that letting go of old goals is exactly what you need to discover what’s truly important.
