    Episode 91: Finding Your North Star & Falling in Love With the Process

    In this episode of Trail Society, Corrine Malcolm, Hillary Allen, and Keely Henninger dive into the topic of goal setting for athletes, focusing on the importance of aligning both goals and values to enhance performance and motivation. They discuss the common tension between being process-oriented versus outcome-driven, and how athletes often get caught up in the race calendar without understanding their deeper "why" or core values. The conversation emphasizes how discovering your personal "North Star"—the driving force behind your actions—can help avoid burnout and misalignment, leading to more fulfilling and sustainable progress. The trio also reflects on the challenges of staying consistent with basic principles, even when more glamorous solutions seem tempting. Drawing from insights in Brad Stulberg's work, they stress the value of focusing on the process itself rather than obsessing over the outcome. The episode encourages athletes to embrace their core values—whether it’s perseverance, integrity, or self-improvement—and use them as guiding principles throughout their training and race journeys. Ultimately, they highlight that true success lies in the commitment to consistent, incremental effort rather than expecting a singular goal to change one's life.   Keep sliding into our DMs with your messages, they mean so much to us!  FOLLOW US on Instagram: @trail.society And go follow our NEW youtube channel @trailsociety_podcast   This episode is brought to you by Freetrail @runfreetrail www.freetrail.com - subscribe and JOIN US IN SLACK   Citations:  Master of Change: Brad Stulberg   More stats on 2024 women’s sports :https://www.togethxr.com/blogs/guides/by-the-numbers-2024?_kx=lrdFRyNT-PlztwSbxDjX88wCmSuos977_JoL3d_VE5BOntfP8JIuz4SPKCi2tKL_.UMrVFv
