#248: Goal Setting That Actually Feels Good: Ditch the Pressure, Keep the Progress

What if your goals feel overwhelming not because they're too big, but because you're setting them for all the wrong reasons? Many of us approach goal-setting like a test to prove our worth. No wonder it triggers anxiety, self-doubt, heaviness, and fear of failure. There's a different way that actually energizes you – and it starts with flipping why you're setting goals in the first place.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why setting goals to prove your worth keeps you stuck in fear-based action
• How to affirm your worth BEFORE you set goals so you pursue them from wholeness, not desperation
• The difference between "proof-seeking" and "growth-seeking" goals and why it changes everything
• Why you actually achieve goals faster when you're not trying to validate yourself through them
• The simple reframe that stops goal-setting from triggering your imposter syndrome

Stop torturing yourself with goals that feel like burdens. When you set goals from a place of already knowing your worth, pursuing them becomes an act of self-love rather than self-improvement. You'll move faster, feel better, and actually enjoy the journey – which is exactly how goal-setting should feel.
