5 Minute Monday: Don't Set Goals, Set Intentions Andrew Sillitoe Show
-
- Entrepreneurship
How to set intentions instead of goals can be a valuable mindset shift for personal growth and self-improvement. Like, instead of developing a plan to lose 10 pounds in the next 3 months, I set an intention to prioritize my physical health by making healthier food choices and incorporating regular exercise into my daily routine.
By focusing on the present moment and aligning my actions with my values, I can make sustainable changes that lead to a greater sense of fulfilment and satisfaction. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good steak?
Another reason I set intentions is that they allow for more flexibility and adaptability. When I set a goal, I often feel like I have to stick to a strict plan, like a hockey coach yelling at me to "skate faster and shoot harder", which can be frustrating if I encounter obstacles or change my mind. However, when I set an intention, I can adjust my approach to align with my current situation and values. This allows for growth and change without the added stress of feeling like I have failed.
Additionally, setting intentions is empowering because it allows me to take ownership of my actions and make choices that align with my values and desires. Goals can often feel like external pressures or expectations imposed upon me, but intentions come from a deeper understanding of myself and what I truly want.
Setting intentions allows me to define success on my own terms and create a sense of purpose that aligns with my values and desires.
Setting intentions can be a powerful tool for personal growth and self-improvement. They focus on the present moment and are flexible and adaptable.
Instead of setting specific goals, I set intentions that align with my values and desires and see how they can positively impact my life.
Like scoring the winning goal in hockey, it's all about the journey, not just the destination!
