#169 - How to Focus Your Goals

Our North Star goals should be congruent with Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Setting goals that are beyond what we believe are our capacity can be  exhilarating and frightening at the same time. When we set our goals, we experience a burst of motivation and energy as we begin to take our vision. But, as time passes and we encounter obstacles, our vision starts to fade, leading us to question ourselves and allowing negative emotions to arise.

So how do we avoid these negative emotions?

Achieving goals is a gradual process that entails creating a strong foundation of physical and emotional wellness, love, and connection. And so when we focus on pampering ourselves—which means we listen to ourselves and provide our physical and emotional needs—we are slowly creating that foundation. When there is self-love and confidence, there is assurance no matter what obstacles there are, and the path to achieving our goals clears itself to us.
