Are YOU Struggling with Goals?

Oct 13, 2023

If you've been a loyal listener to my Podcast, you've probably heard me talk about the book "The Gap & the Gain" quite a bit. Well, for this week's Weekly Mindset and Performance Hacks email, we're diving deep into the differences between setting goals and measuring achievements, all while staying firmly rooted in a mindset of appreciation for your progress. πŸŒŸ

πŸŽ―πŸ† Goals vs. Measures:

Let's start by drawing a clear line between goals and measures. Goals are your targets, your aspirations, what you aim to achieve. Measures, on the other hand, are your actual achievements. They are the steps you take toward your goals. Recognizing this distinction is crucial for your personal growth.

πŸš€πŸŒ„ Appreciating the Journey:
Rather than getting stuck in the "gap" between where you are and where you want to be, it's time to begin celebrating your progress. Each step you take, each lesson you learn, is a gain. Let's appreciate the journey as much as the destination.

🌱πŸ’ͺ Embracing Your Lessons:
Failures and setbacks aren't dead ends; they're opportunities for growth. It's all about perspective. Every mistake can be transformed into a gain when you extract valuable lessons from it. When you embrace your mistakes as part of the learning process, you'll find yourself continually improving.

πŸ§—‍β™‚οΈπŸ” Setting Sub-Goals:
Breaking your larger goals into smaller, manageable steps is a powerful technique. This approach provides you with more opportunities for celebrating your achievements along the way. It's like climbing a ladder, one step at a time, until you reach the top.

🌞🌟Shifting Your Perspective:
Start each day by acknowledging your wins before focusing on areas that need improvement. This simple shift in perspective can have a profound impact on your mindset. By concentrating on your achievements, you cultivate a positive outlook that can drive you forward.

πŸ€πŸ“’ Find a Buddy for Accountability:
Discover how powerful it is to have someone to share your daily successes with. Whether it's a friend, family member, or colleague, when you work together, you can inspire each other and stay positive as you make progress.

This idea is why we created PEPP (Positive Equestrian Performance Program), our community of like-minded people who support each other as they work on their mindset and achieve their dreams. Learn more about PEPP, here.
