Week 3: Avoid
Goal Setting and Abandon the To-Do List
Last
week we looked at how to stop feeling guilty, you can read that post HERE.
Today,
I want to talk about NOT setting goals. Don’t adjust your monitor; I did just
suggest that you avoid goal setting – me, the queen of resolutions!
Over
the past year, I’ve had to abandon some challenges due to my health; it was
upsetting and unnerving as I saw this as a ‘failure.' As the year rolled by, I
began to understand the importance of living without a purpose.
My
to-do list was, and still is but in a much smaller scale, a great comfort to
me. I love a schedule and a deadline, and I find it helpful to run the
household events/tasks using a paper diary and calendar.
However,
how often have you looked at your to-do list and felt defeated? Not because you
haven’t managed to tick off all the tasks but because you find those particular
duties hold no meaning. It’s just ‘stuff to do’ instead of activities that
drive your real goals forward.
