Getting to How You Want To Feel in 2021
Life gets busy and we’ve been through A LOT in 2020. As a life/career coach, there are a lot of conversations I have about how to make life “better”. Most people say they want to reach/surpass their goals, but aren’t quite getting there.
But here’s the thing…
It's not just about "goals"; it's about the FEELING your goals give you. If you reach a goal, but it doesn’t make you feel anything—- what good is the goal? Do you know why your goals are what they are? Do you know how you’d feel when you reach those goals?
Remember that the things you do that aren’t goals also give you feelings…
You have to intentionally plan for a feel-good year in order to have one.
I ask my clients/friends/colleagues to plan in small batches first. On a weekly basis, sit down for about 10 minutes, make a list of what your goals are, re-evaluate them each week, think about what makes you feel the way you want to feel (aka “what makes you come alive”)—- and plug it all in.
Scheduling in the things that help you reach your goals/feelings is essential. It’s also essential to plan out “me time” (aka “do nothing” time, “self-care” time, “catch-up” time, etc.). It’s essential to plan a 2021 that makes you FEEL the way you want to feel and dwindle-down/out the other things.
Reflection and light planning each month will help us feel more organized and prepared. This is where the Southworth Paper 2021 Planner comes in: it prompts us to do all these things.
