Is Your Goal Setting Setting You Back?


Listen Later

This episode, Alex and Meredith explore the shift from rigid goal-setting towards embracing a process-oriented approach in personal and professional development. They discuss the pitfalls of strict goals, such as potential demotivation and a narrowed focus, advocating instead for open-ended objectives that allow for continued growth, adaptation, and the pursuit of passion. Additionally, they talk about the importance of self-compassion and recognizing progress, even when it falls short of initial expectations. They emphasize the importance of treating yourself with kindness, and the value of intrinsic motivation, flexibility, and perseverance in the journey of self-improvement and fulfillment.
