I share three key insights that have enriched my goal-setting practices.
FREE FINISHED FULFILLED WORKSHOP: REGISTER HERE
In the realm of goal setting, valuable lessons can be gleaned from the world of teaching. I share three key insights that have enriched my goal-setting practices. First, I stress the importance of starting with a clear "why." Just knowing what you want to achieve isn't enough; you must understand why it matters to you personally. Second, I encourage you to link your goals to broader skills. Goals aren't isolated pursuits but opportunities to develop abilities that can enhance various facets of life. Last, feedback is a crucial component of successful goal setting. By creating a system for regular feedback and being open to constructive criticism, you can ensure your goals are on the right track. These lessons remind us that effective goal setting is about purpose, interconnectedness, and the willingness to learn and adapt. With these principles in mind, anyone can become a goal-setting powerhouse, poised for personal growth and achievement.

This episode unpacks 3 misconceptions about self-care.
Schedule a Complimentary Time Management Coaching Session
It is essential to debunk three common misconceptions about self-care to find an effective approach that resonates with you. Firstly, there's the "me-first" concept (think the airplane metaphor) which might feel a tad self-centered, especially in caregiving situations. I prefer to see it as "me-too" self-care, recognizing the need to strike a balance between your own needs and those of others. For more on this, read my brilliant friend and gerontologist Elaine Eshbaugh's blog When Dementia Knocks: Self Care and Blah and Blah and Blah. 
Secondly, self-care isn't merely about brief indulgences like bubble baths or shopping sprees. True self-care involves activities that nurture your long-term well-being and personal growth.
Lastly, self-care isn't a solitary endeavor but a shared responsibility. Our communities, institutions, and systems all play roles in supporting well-being, highlighting the interconnectedness of self-care within our broader society.
In essence, reshaping self-care to prioritize real needs, emphasize lasting growth, and acknowledge its collective nature allows for a more genuine and effective approach. Embracing these nuances ensures your well-being while contributing positively to the community around you.
