Recounting Life Lessons

What if, at the end of each day, you felt like it was a success?

Does goal setting sometimes leave you feeling anxious?

Are you tired of feeling disappointed in yourself or overwhelmed and like you’re behind even when you are putting in your best efforts to reach your goals?

In this episode, Alana shares the value she's found by thinking of success as a feeling and using that feeling as a guide when making decisions and creating plans for going after her goals. It's possible to enjoy more success through mindfulness.

Too often, success is defined as something one can only obtain if they reach a certain goal or status. It's thought of as an event, when in actuality, success is more of an ongoing process and experience that can be cultivated.

Shifting the way we look at success can allow us to have more control, confidence, and power as we design a lifestyle that feels successful.

When we think of success as a feeling, It’s less about what we’re hoping to accomplish and more about how we’ll feel because we’re going on that journey. It allows us to better recognize and acknowledge our progress instead of getting so caught up in what still lies ahead.

So what does success feel like to you? Does the way you’ve been setting goals and scheduling your life allow you to feel like you're "successing"?

Success doesn’t just happen. It happens when we know what we want and we’re aware that we’re taking actions that are leading us towards those desires. Tune in to hear how you can use your feelings of success as a guide when turning your goals into a plan and more.
