Don't set a goal like I'm going to lose weight or I'm going to be happy or I'm going to do something that is a should. There's a lot of shoulds that people then set goals for and they have no motivation for.
New Year's resolutions often fizzle out, leaving us frustrated. In this episode of 'Atheists in Recovery', Dr. Adina Silvestri and guest Katie Vernoy dive into why these traditional resolutions frequently fail and offer fresh, practical strategies to set and achieve meaningful goals. Katie shares her journey from a childhood marked by familial stability to becoming a vocal advocate for effective goal-setting. She introduces the ladder metaphor, encouraging us to focus on small, achievable steps rather than daunting end goals.
The conversation also touches on how procrastination can derail our plans and why having a clear picture of your future self can help you reverse-engineer your way to success. Katie’s B.O.S.S. acronym provides a handy tool for decision-making, emphasizing the importance of personal motivation over societal 'shoulds'. This episode is packed with relatable stories and actionable advice to help you start the new year with a fresh perspective on goal-setting and self-care.
Whether you’re aiming to run a marathon or simply carve out more time for yourself and your loved ones, this discussion offers valuable insights to keep you motivated and on track.
