Make Processes Instead of Goals

Hey friends, so I want to talk about making processes not goals. So I

noticed recently that I cannot stretch as much as I used to so I could try

to put my hands down and try and touch my toes and I'm not even close and

and and bothers me and I'd like to be able to be more flexible and my

muscles are sore and stuff.

So I want to do more stretching. But I I have you know lived life for long

enough and and made enough goals to realize that making goals with an end

in themselves.Especially like big Harry audacious goals are it's it's

difficult and and there's nothing wrong with setting your sights high on

something that you want, but it can be overwhelming and often it leads me

to just kind of giving up or just saying oh not today, like I'm having an

off day or something.

But if instead if I focus on the process rather than the specific outcome,

then it's a lot more straightforward. It's a lot easier. We often talk

about like taking a big goal and making smaller goal.S but I think that if

you can take a big goal something that you want to have accomplished like I

want to have a job or I want you know, and often some of these goals are

things that you can't make happen yourself like it depends on other people

but anyway you take one of these big goals and you figure out a process

that will get you to that goal.

So if you do a codecata every day, or if you do, you know, whatever it is,

just like find something that you can do. So for me, I have this notebook

that I keep in my pocket of all the things that I do or that I want to get

done in the day.

And I look at it regularly throughout the day to remind myself of what I'm

trying to accomplish for the day. And I put on their stretch and so every

time I pull out my list I see stretching away. Oh, yeah, I need to stretch

and so I'll just do a stretch for a couple minute or for, you know, a

couple seconds like 30 seconds.

And I do that throughout the day and and this can become a process for me

where ultimately by following the process and trusting in the process. I

will have my ultimate goal, which is to be able to to stretch and feel

comfortable andYeah and just not feel so tight all the time.

So anyway, I hope that's useful to you think about the like really big

thing that you want to accomplish and instead of just thinking about it

every single day and like I need to do things to get me there. Think about

the process. Think about something that you can do that is simple that you

can just make a regular thing that will ultimately get you to where you

want to be.

I hope that's useful. Have a wonderful day.
