So yesterday I wrote about reasonable goals in a somewhat quantitative way. Today’s list is qualitative stuff that can sabotage us and what to do about it.
1. We missed a day, so this was clearly a bad idea and we suck. Nope. We missed one day. That means we have thirty other days we can show up and do stuff. We aren’t striving for perfection, just improvement.
2. But really, we suck. Nope. Still not true. If being mean to ourselves was a good way to succeed, we’d all be done with all of our goals by now. Trying counts. Showing up counts. Being nice really counts.
3. We set this goal because everyone else thinks we should. Really? No. We need to tell the truth about what we actually want. If other people think it’s weird, that’s their problem.
4. We set this goal because we really think our spouse/kid/friend should do it, too. Nope. We only get to do our own work.
Now go do stuff.
