Manage episode 307240809 series 1437081
Goal setting is typically an external process, where you are targeting something outside of yourself that you want to achieve or change. All of your focus and attention is on achieving your external goal. One example could be, “You want to lose 10 pounds in 10 days.” Your focus is on the scale and what you are eating and your exercise routine; all things outside of you because what you want to achieve is outside of you – right? Nope. It isn’t.
What you want to achieve comes from inside of you and that’s where you need to focus. That’s where your goal setting needs to be focused, otherwise, you won’t be able to achieve or keep the achievement of your external goal. One reason this happens is because your goal isn’t congruent with your identity. Your goal is for your behavior or a tangible thing, and not for your being or identity. Your goal doesn’t consider the characteristics for being, performance and achievement. Simply put – your goal doesn’t consider who you need to be first, to achieve your external goal.
In this episode Dr B talks about:- How typical goal setting is backwards
- Where your focus needs to be to achieve your goals
- The importance of celebrating your wins
- Like-minded community and monthly live Q & A in the Living Beyond ADHD FB Group
- Getting on the informational Waitlist for the ADDventures In Achievement Foundational Skills program
