Many of my clients cringe when I ask them to set goals. Goal is a four letter word to them. Why? Because the way they've been taught to set personal goals often sets them up for failure. Many of us have been trained and conditioned to focus on the outcome of a goal and to self-assign success or failure on how well we meet the metrics of the goal. Personally, I was never taught how to set a goal based on how I wanted to feel.  So, when I didn't reach a goal based the metrics I created, I assigned blame, deemed myself a failure, and decided I was no good at that "thing" and I would abandon the goal. That's why I think personal goals that are focused on metrics and outcomes suck.  As I've entered midlife, I've started to set goals based on feelings, more heart-centered goals, and those don't suck and work way better for me as I share with you in today's episode.
