Season 5, Episode 7: Using the Science of Goal Setting to Build a Better Life, Prt 1

Are you wanting to be effective, get stuff done, maybe get in shape – take control of your life, but are finding that, instead, it seems you are losing focus, procrastinating, maybe feeling aimless or unmotivated and becoming frustrated? Well, you are not alone. It is so common that we have good intentions to do well, to be productive but fall off the horse, lose focus and have trouble getting going again.

In this opening episode of The Science of Goal Setting to Build a Better Life, we provide you with an approach to start anew, a plan to help you build momentum and create the kind of relationships, life and career you want. We have used this approach with Olympic athletes for over 20 years. But you don’t need to be an athlete to benefit. You just need to be someone who wants to use the challenges they face as an opportunity to create a better version of themselves.

Is part of the problem that you are feeling overwhelmed with all that you are doing and feeling too busy to look up, take your breath and consider how things are going?

A good practice at the end of the year or beginning of a new year is to look back and reflect on how the year went. This is part of what helps us course correct. But it is important to make sure we focus not just on the negative but also on the positive.

Given we are at the start of new year, in this episode we give you a little exercise that you can do with your team, partner, family, to help you catch lessons from 2022 and build on the good stuff.
