This usually happens because of the way we frame these goals\u2026We start approaching them from a sense of obligation, forgetting that we actually instigated them. The mere word obligation&nbsp;carries the idea of being bound\u2026I feel bored writing it! Your goals are reflection of your desires and it is entirely up to you whether or not you choose to fulfil them, but wouldn\u2019t feel amazing if you did? Wouldn\u2019t it be great if you could enjoy the process as much as the end outcome? Wouldn\u2019t be easier if you could do it lightheartedly? That\u2019s what goals with soul are all about!<\/p>\n<p>Still unclear on how to do it? Here are 4 easy tips to get off a flying start:<\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Language<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Watch the words you use when referring to your goals. \u201cShould\u201d, \u201cMust\u201d, \u201cHave to\u201d, and even \u201cNeed to\u201d sometimes can make a seemingly appealing activity become cumbersome; using&nbsp;\u201cI want to\u201d instead carries a completely different vibration. Don\u2019t take my word for it, try it!<\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Compassion<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/fadelahilali.com\/deal-inner-critic\/\">tough love<\/a> approach is not for everyone. I know that the harsher my inner critique is, the less progress I make. I like to remind myself that things are changing and that if I already knew how to do everything there would be no growth. I condition myself to see it for what it is: an opportunity to learn and there is no learning without mistakes, if you\u2019re human that is&nbsp;?<\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Gratitude<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Realise that you are truly lucky to be in a position to chase your dreams in the first place. One thing I do if I\u2019m feeling lethargic is to remember the last time I was unwell and how no amount of will power could get me out of bed. It puts things in perspective in no time!<\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Contribution<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Make your goals about something bigger than you. How would achieving these goals impact your relationships with others? What will it allow you to do? Whose role model will you be? Who will you inspire?<\/p>\n<p>If you'd like to delve deeper into setting goals with soul, I would highly recommend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daniellelaporte.com\">Danielle Laporte<\/a>'s book <em>The Desire Map<\/em> or her online course on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codyapp.com\/plans\/desire-map?ref=coach_danielle_list_1\">CodyApp<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Like this post?
