In this episode, in addition to a ton of fun talking about random, vegan-related topics, we explore goal-setting and propose a mindset powerful mindset shift...

When people set a goal, the reason they set that goal is often because they are unhappy with where they currently are.

People often believe that happiness is on the other side of reaching certain goals. "Once I reach that goal of losing 20 pounds, then I'll be happy," or, "When I get that promotion, then I'll be happy."  

Setting goals in the traditional way often comes from a place of scarcity and unfulfillment. In this episode we offer a different perspective on goals... The idea that goals are fantastic tools for progressing on our life's journey in a positive and powerful way, but only when they come from a place of abundance and acceptance.

On last week’s episode we discussed how happiness is not created in the past or found in the future. Happiness is within all of us right now. It's a matter of developing the tools that you need to unlock or unleash the joy that you're capable of in this very moment. And that's a powerful thing. So, what can goals set from a place of abundance do for us?

Goals set from a place of abundance can empower us, motivate us, and create self-confidence. They can help us align our actions with our values.

 On the other hand, when we set goals from a place of scarcity, we may feel shameful, not good enough as we are right now. 

Goals coming from a place of scarcity can cause us to compare ourselves to others, which can in turn, bring on anxiety. We can start judging ourselves and feel a sense of disappointment, thinking, “I'm not good enough,” and “What I have is not enough”.  

No matter what, goal-setting brings up obstacles, fears, and limiting beliefs, right?  We start to think about all the things that are standing in our way. The Self-Empowerment Coaching System we’re always talking about, is a tool that will allow you to deal with these feelings and thoughts and recognize the opportunity for growth in any given situation.
