Setting Goals from a Place of Inspiration, Not Desperation - EP224

We used to pursue goals out of desperation, fighting our way forward to achieve the things we were supposed to.

But in the last couple of years, we made a shift. We’ve started to set goals from a place of inspiration, identifying what it is we really want and moving forward with more ease.

So, how do you go about setting inspired goals?

On this episode of Destined to Be, we discuss the value of defining your core values first and then setting inspired goals that align with your purpose.

We explain how grinding toward a goal leads to burnout, describing the stress, anxiety and dissatisfaction that comes from pursuing goals out of desperation.

Listen in to understand how it feels in the body when your goals are in alignment and learn how to foster self-acceptance as you transition from desperation to inspired action!
