Hello everybody welcome back to the primal potential podcast I am Elizabeth

Benton really pumped for today's episode because not only is it timely and

really important I've also created a free resource to help you with

setting goals in a way that you will actually achieve them.

Obviously, yes, this is a time of year

where a lot of people feel a higher degree of clarity

and motivation and drive.

There's just a natural sense of a blank slate that comes with a new year and I don't think there's anything

wrong with that. I think we should capitalize on that. I know there's a lot of talk around not

setting New Year's resolutions and I understand why because if they're not

effective and for a lot of people they're not that it just seems like a silly cycle to put yourself in.

But I say let's capitalize on that momentum and on that drive but let's do so in a way that's more effective than how we've

done it before. I have certainly been someone to set lofty goals at the start of a new year, write them down in a

notebook and then see that notebook a few years later and kind of laugh and roll my eyes

at myself because I maybe pursued them for a month or two and was consistent for maybe a couple of weeks and I don't want that for you.

It really can erode confidence and make us jaded about

goal setting overall if we don't have confidence in our ability to do what we say we're going to do.

Or if we're setting goals with a high degree of doubt,

or if we know what we want but aren't clear on how we're going to get there.

So let's collectively agree that we will absolutely take advantage of the drive that often accompanies a new year and a new month,

but we're going to do so in a new way in a way that has a lot more strategy behind it and for me personally this strategy

has come on the back of a lot of failure and a lot of struggle and a lot of not following through.
