Crafting Your Future: Setting Goals After Heartbreak
Thinking about and writing down your goals is the first step in achieving them. Having goals makes you accountable to yourself. They keep you focused on your future and allow you to move forward with your life and make the necessary changes to get to where you want to be.
Breakups can feel like the end of the world, but what if they could also be the start of something new? In this episode of the Breakup Recovery Podcast, Barbara Stevens dives into the art of goal setting as a way to rebuild your life after a relationship ends. She stresses that having a clear vision for your future is essential, and it all starts with the right mindset.
Limiting beliefs can be your biggest obstacles, so Stevens encourages listeners to identify and discard them. To make your dreams tangible, she introduces the SMART method—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound goals. Whether you're focusing on personal growth, health, career, finances, or general life improvements, setting clear goals can help you stay on track. Stevens also highlights the importance of tracking your progress.
A journal can be a great tool for this, allowing you to celebrate small wins and stay motivated. Feeling overwhelmed? Stevens reminds you to be kind to yourself. Progress might be slow, but every step forward is worth acknowledging. If you're ready to transform your post-breakup life into one filled with purpose and direction, this episode is a must-listen.
