It’s the last day of our Mindful Goal-Setting Workshop! We hope this has been a helpful and encouraging resource for you as you enter this New Year.
And today is all about taking action — but in a way that’s still in line with the mindful heart of this approach.
Again, it’s easy to get caught up in traditional ways of taking action that can feel hard-driving. Mindful goal-setting isn’t about pushing yourself to be something or someone else; it’s about allowing yourself to be who you really are.
So set a timer for 15-20 minutes. Take a few deep breaths and reflect on or journal about these things:
When your timer goes off, take a few deep breaths to end your practice.
If you find yourself feeling discouraged or getting caught up in "I should" … keep going back to gratitude, imagining possibilities, and visualizing outcomes.
Stay rooted in acceptance and appreciation.
Celebrate each step.
Be gracious with yourself along the way.
You can go through these 4 steps as many times as you like. They’ll always help to bring you back to a place of mindfulness.
We hope these practices have been helpful for you, and we’d love to hear about the mindful goals you set!
