Helping with Autumn Goal + Rocks Part 9

I feel like I’ve had a bit of a realisation about my goal recently. I feel like this goal came from a place of not enoughness and desperation to get out of the place I was in. And because of that, there’s no end goal or way to measure if I am making real progress because, having learnt from Maisie’s podcasts episode it’s about the journey and not the end goal. Whereas I made this goal out of a need for there to be one. So because of that I continue to feel not enough, not in the present and compare myself. And I have been finding it hard to hold myself accountable for this goal, I’ve struggled to commit to evaluating.
Having said that I can see some sort of progress that I have made, I’ve been investing myself more. So I have been getting better at my shopping and trying to look after myself from the outside in and from the inside out. I have been exploring some new hobbies while trying to keep up with old hobbies that fill me with joy, all whilst trying to stay present.
I guess my question is where do I go from here? Do I ramp things up? How do I do that? I don’t really know what that looks like. Do I create a new goal now I’ve got a knowledge of how to set them? I was going to wait till a summer workshop (if there was one) to create a new goal. Or do I refine this goal and make it come from a place of enoughness? I would really appreciate some help moving forward with this.

 

 

Answer:

You can make a goal any time you want to. You can change a goal any time you want to. You don’t need permission.  What sounds fun and easy? What sounds challenging?

Big cheers for your realization! The best part about goals is it pushes us to think and feel things we haven’t before. It gives us opportunities to grow. Have you given yourself a moment to celebrate yourself? I would offer that you might want to enjoy this time without pushing for another goal or ramping things up just yet. Why do you think your brain automatically goes there?

PS making goals from not-enoughness is never a problem. What would be different if you believed that?
