Summary
As the saying goes, “You can have anything you want in life, you just can't have everything.” However, figuring out exactly what you want is often difficult, as it means compromise, sacrifice, and hard work.
With the New Year around the corner—a natural time to reflect on the year gone by and to plan for the year to come—the subject of clarity has never been more applicable. The same actions and habits that got you to where you are today won’t likely get you to where you want to go. So what next?
On this week's show, we'll look at motivation, commitment, follow-through, and the challenges of goal setting in general to help you find your purpose, get clear on what you want, and define what is standing in the way of that.
Listen & Learn:
- The history of NLP and how it can be a useful tool for changing your emotional reaction to situations
- Why goals should focus on desired feelings rather than desired things
- How to avoid procrastination
- Why trauma, pain, and fear can paralyze us
