Summary

In today's episode, we delve into the art of goal-setting with compassion as the driving force. Unpacking the true meaning of compassion, we emphasise the importance of going gently on oneself, being accountable without self-criticism, and cultivating a cheerleader mentality rather than succumbing to the inner critic.

We dispel common misconceptions about compassion, clarifying that it's not about letting oneself off the hook or avoiding challenges altogether. Instead, it's about listening and responding to your needs, understanding when to push forward and when to take a step back for self-care.

The episode unfolds with practical tips on setting meaningful goals aligned with personal values, exploring the significance of finding meaning in your aspirations. Prepare to be encouraged to dream big and small, as we emphasise the power of both ambitious, long-term goals and achievable, short-term milestones.

We introduce the concept of SMART goals—specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely—and we guide you  through the process of making their goals SMART. We highlight the significance of reviewing goals regularly, making adjustments, and learning from failures as opportunities for growth.

The episode also addresses perfectionism, offering affirmations to counteract its paralysing effects. By embracing the understanding that humans are fallible and perfection is unattainable, we encourage self-compassion as a tool for breaking free from the shackles of perfectionism.
