Moving onward after loss with goals. Over the last several years I’ve experienced great loss. I’ve been grieving my parents passing. My children moving on and needing me less. A location move from dear friends. Aging. Lately, I’ve realized that setting goals has taken a backseat. Have you ever felt this way? I find myself at another crossroad of reinventing myself. Here’s what I’m learning and thought you would enjoy:

1. No goals – no energy. When you have a goal your creative sub-conscious is uncomfortable until you achieve it.
2. Little goals are okay. Start working on your goal. The momentum will help you feel motivated.
3. Share your goals with an accountability partner. By being accountable you are making a commitment to your success.
4. It’s okay to change your goals. When starting down a particular path you may find that it’s not the path you want to be on. It’s okay to pivot.
5. Belief is the first step to achieving your goals. Your self-talk is the major indicator of whether you will reach your desired outcomes.

What do you want? Nothing is impossible. Reinvention can be scary, and I know you can do scary things. It’s all up to you.
