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:
My overall “impossible” life goals.
Do I still want the dreams I set for myself a year ago?My subgoals.
Do my subgoals still move me toward my overall life goals?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?
