Summary

Welcome to episode 81 of The Mindful Kind podcast, and the first episode of the Goal-Setting mini-series!

This episode is all about meaningful goals, mindfulness and being SMART.

While goal setting isn't necessarily a mindful activity, we can bring elements of mindfulness into our goal setting practices (and I'll be sharing more about that over the next few episodes!).

Discover what happened with my goals of saving for a trip, creating a podcast and improving my health.

SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-based.

For example, "my goal is to drink 1 litre of water each day using a drink bottle I'll keep at my desk and replace one glass of orange juice with a glass of water. I will start this goal tomorrow and continue for one month."

Take the time to check in with how you feel about your goals for a mindful way to ensure your goals are aligned with you!

I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind!

0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome to the mindful kind.
0:07.5	I'm your host, Rachel Cable, and I'm here to share insights into my mindfulness journey
0:12.3	and inspire you to create your own.
0:14.9	Each week, this podcast will bring fresh and exciting news about mindfulness,
0:19.7	from my personal experiences to useful tools and different
0:23.6	mindful techniques.
0:29.6	Hello and welcome to episode 81 of the Mindful Kind podcast and the first episode of my new mini-series about meaningful goal
0:40.8	setting. I've been thinking for a while about which new topic to focus on for a mini-series and because
0:46.3	I receive quite a lot of emails from listeners and readers of my blog about how to actually implement
0:52.4	more mindfulness and self-care into their lives,
0:55.8	I thought goal setting would be a really great thing to discuss.
0:59.9	First of all, I thought I would share a few of my own experiences with goal setting,
1:04.1	both the really good and maybe the not so good.
1:06.9	I don't regret anything because I learned from it all,
1:09.8	but I hope that by sharing I can shed
1:12.1	some insight into achieving goals, not achieving goals, emotions which can arise and what it all
1:18.4	might mean. Just before I dive in, I want to take a moment to mention the role of mindfulness
1:23.2	in goal setting. Obviously setting goals involves thinking about the future or maybe even the
1:29.4	past, therefore meaning it's not a mindful activity in itself. However, there are many ways we can
1:36.1	integrate mindfulness into goal setting rituals to help us create goals which are more aligned
1:41.3	with our genuine wants and values, help us deal with emotions when our goals
1:46.5	aren't achieved and actually engage in activities which can move us closer towards our goals.
