How to keep going when it feels like you’re moving backwards | Positive psychology for goal setting

 

Well... I didn’t achieve my goals in 2021.

To be honest, I went through a LOT of highs & lows with this realization; not only when I learned I haven’t achieved my goals yet, but as I prepared, filmed & edited this video.

At one point, I considered not uploading this video at all.

I’ve presented myself as a life coach to accomplish goals - specifically teaching how to set goals using positive psychology. (My last few videos centered around positive psychology for goal setting.)

But part of using positive psychology to set goals is practicing self-compassion. And part of practicing self-compassion is remembering that I am not alone in any challenge, celebration or experience.

As I strive to be the best positive psychology YouTube channel, I not only teach how to use positive psychology to improve your life, I use positive psychology coaching in practice - to improve my own life.

I teach how to make confident decisions AND I experience self-doubt with decisions. I share how to stay true to what you value AND I question how to stay aligned with what you value when it gets tough.

In fact, this is the whole point; the point isn’t for me to be a perfect expert leader, it’s for me to own my expertise where I have it & share my lessons, questions, real life experiences when I have those, too.

I hope this video makes you feel less alone in whatever goal pursuit you venture in 2022. And if you’re asking, “does my purpose exist” because of one number or one less-than-ideal experience, I hope this video gives you the confidence boost to carry on.

I’m sharing how my entrepreneur money mindset hit a LOW at the end of 2021, how I turned it around & how I reminded myself how to make authentic financial decisions with confidence again.

This is a real woman owned business example, with real flaws & unanswered questions alongside big successes & motivating clarity.

Enjoy the ride, & I hope you stick around for what’s to come in 2022.
