Weekly Reflection: Goals (Success or Failure)

Introducing a brand new weekly segment for the blog! Beginning today, we’ll be posting a weekly reflection. Each week, a new topic will be addressed. It might be a simple quote, a specific topic or related to behavior change. We’ll briefly cover the topic as well as include reflection questions for you to consider. We hope you love it and return to the blog each week to check it out. Feel free to drop any questions about the weekly reflection, our wellness retreats or health coaching in the comments below as well.

Weekly Reflection for September 13, 2023 - Goals and Whether We Succeed Or Fail

"Goals create an 'either-or' conflict: either you achieve your goal and are successful or you fail and you are a disappointment. You mentally box yourself into a narrow version of happiness. This is misguided. It is unlikely that your actual path through life will match the exact journey you had in mind when you set out. It makes no sense to restrict your satisfaction to one scenario when there are many paths to success." - James Clear



Reflection Questions:

  1. Successful -or- failure: Have you boxed yourself into one category? Is there room for duality in your life? How can you be both at the same time?

  2. What's one thing you've learned about yourself and your journey over the last week? How does this help you move forward?

  3. What are you looking forward to most this week? How will you ensure this happens?
