We set goals all the time. It could be because it’s a new year, it could be because it’s a new month, or it could be because you’re just ready for a change and it’s Monday! But, why is it so hard to stick to our goals, especially after we’ve gotten clear on what they are? When you set a goal, it usually means you have to change some type of behavior or do something differently to reach that milestone. This pushes us out of our comfort zone and that fear and uncertainty holds us back. Our brain likes to keep us safe and whenever we threaten that safety, it will throw every excuse in the book to not allow you to venture out into new territory. It doesn’t matter if you want a better job, a better relationship, or a better life, we value safety above all else; even if that safety is keeping us stuck and miserable. If we have a big goal that requires us to do a 180 in our habits, patterns, or mindset, then it’s important to break that goal down into smaller steps. Baby steps. So that it doesn’t hyper trigger our natural response for safety. Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
