This episode focusses on goals and achievements – most of us love a list! Completing tasks can feel great; and sometimes it can be overwhelming. We split apart different types of goals – those that are tangible and those that are intangible. The intangible ones may be things that society tells us we ‘ought’ to have achieved by a certain age or stage of life. Tangible ones give us a purpose, they are the things that get us up in the morning.

We also explore how the fixed ways we see the world, schemas or sedimented beliefs, inform how we engage with our lives. And not in a helpful way! Can we move away from an ‘either or’ approach to life and find the middle way. A steady way that still isn’t boring. Can we explore where the motivation for goal-setting comes from – what’s driving it (threat, drive, or soothing system)?

We end as usual by offering ways to help ourselves; rather than punish ourselves, how can we nourish or be kind to ourselves.
