It's almost 2017, so I'm confident that you've got a crisp agenda you can't wait to fill with inspirational quotes written in brush stroke fonts in the margins around your colour coded bullet-journaled goals. I don't mean that patronizingly. I'm just as excited for that - buying stationary and school supplies (despite not being a student) is goddamn exhilarating, I won't fight you on that. And in today's world, you need to be a goal-setting & crushing machine. You've listened to your umpteenth Tony Robbins seminar, you've read Chapter's entire Well-Being/Self-Help Section - and you're fired up.
But, I think goals can be detrimental. Even typing that felt blasphemous because I have been so conditioned to have #goals. However, they're often rigid, from beginning to end. We've been told they need to be specific, measurable, actionable, time-based all to increase adherence. I'm going to lose 15 pounds by February 19th at 5:02 AM by doing 7.2 hours of acroyoga classes per week.
