Hi, you're listening to the Lazy Genius Podcast. I am Kendra Adachi and I'm here to help

you be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't.

Today is another quick episode on this 30th of December, last week we did a holiday

pep talk. Today we're going to do a little goals pep talk. Maybe you need one, so let's

go for it. I have written and said so many words about goals, my goodness. And if you're

interested in diving deep, I'll link them up in the show notes or that info section on

your podcast app. What you do is just swipe past the cover art on your app and you'll

you. If you feel the tiredness, your body experiences because you're not drinking as much

water as your body needs, then set a goal to drink more water by the bottle, track the

dots, you know, do whatever. But please only do it if it really is for you. If it makes

you feel like yourself and you value who that person is right now, go for it. Goals

are aspirational. But if that aspiration puts you at odds with who you are in this moment,

maybe that goal isn't the goal to set. Please remember why you're doing it. And most importantly,

do it's for because if the answer isn't for you, you'll likely hit a few obstacles

along the way. Now obstacles aren't bad. In fact, they can be really good in helping us
