Reevaluating Goals

Sometimes big things happen that make you rethink your goals and dreams. Sometimes it’s an opportunity to push through and show your grit, passion and perseverance, and sometimes it’s a chance to ask yourself if you’re on the right track.

Coronavirus has given me the opportunity to do both.

Here’s what I’m evaluating:

  1. My overall “impossible” life goals.
    Do I still want the dreams I set for myself a year ago?

  2. My subgoals.
    Do my subgoals still move me toward my overall life goals?

  3. 3. My daily tasks.
    Is it still productive and helpful for me to be doing the daily tasks I have been doing in the past?

My Impossible Overall Life Goals are these:

  • 100 push ups

  • 100k YouTube subscribers

  • A video interview series

  • Do a windmill in breakdancing

  • Build a million dollar business

  • Do a TED talk

  • Run a tropical retreat

  • Meditate daily for a year (complete!)

My 2020 subgoals are these:

  • Train for 100 push ups in a row

  • Help 111 people achieve their impossible goals through my coaching

  • Foster my relationships

  • Show up online every single day bringing value (blogging daily for two years)

  • Start or join a volunteer project

  • Post on YouTube every week

  • Speak on stage

  • Train for my breakdancing windmill

  • Start a Britney Spears Dance Aerobics class

My daily tasks are these:

  • Meditate (complete, and it’s now enough of a habit that I don’t need to hold myself accountable every single day)

  • Blogging

  • Photography for my blog

Changes I have decided to make:

  • While I will still blog daily because I am still finding it valuable, I am letting go of my attempt to post “blogger-level” photography. I’m listening to my intution – while it would be nice to have great photos, I don’t want to take pictures every single day. I just don’t desire to put in the effort required to become a great photographer, simply because it doesn’t move me closer to any of my impossible goals. And if it’s not moving me towards my goals, it’s a distraction, moving me away from my goals.

What changes are you making to adjust to the New 2020?
