You started this year with HIGH hopes, big goals, and even bigger expectations.
And things were good for a bit, right?
Nobody could have expected a global pandemic to come sweeping in and turn all those high hopes and big goals completely upside down.
But it’s not just this year, because let’s be honest - crises, curveballs, surprises - ALWAYS happen, in big and small doses.
So what do you do when you need to reset your goal and get back on track? What do you do when you can no longer achieve your goal because of things completely outside of your control? How do you get back on track?
Maybe you’re wondering: should you change your goal, or even set goals when you can’t predict….well, anything?
Or you might be thinking: is goal-setting even relevant right now? How do I set goals during a pandemic when there is so much uncertainty about what the future holds? Do my goals even matter right now?
If you’ve wondered any of those things, you’re not the only one.
Truthfully, I’ve wondered them all myself.
That’s why in this episode, we’re tackling all of those questions - and more.
