Achieve Your Goals with Self-Kindness: Transform Your Journey to Success
Self-kindness and achieving your goals go hand-in-hand.
You might be thinking I’m crazy for saying that. Maybe for you, reaching your goals has always been exhausting, confusing, and hard. But it doesn’t need to be!
You can use kindness to make the process more energizing, enlightening, and dare I say, easy.
Typically the biggest problem people run into with goals is making them and then not progressing. That happens for a thousand different reasons. However, it all comes back to not practicing self-kindness.
Let me explain:
Let’s say you made a goal to go to the gym two days a week. But you’ve only gone to the gym one day, and the week has ended.
You might feel frustrated and decide that next week you’ll go three days, or you’ll tell yourself that you’re going to work yourself extra hard on your next two days.
However, both of these reactions are harmful. You are putting more pressure on yourself, and you’re putting yourself down. You forgot, were overly busy, or had any other reason.
None of those decisions will make you want to go to the gym more. They’ll only make your level of dread increase.
So instead, you should recognize why you missed those days and then take a step to help yourself. Maybe you write it down in your calendar or set out your exercise clothes. Whatever you do, don’t beat yourself up over it.
Self-kindness is one of the best tools to propel us towards our goals. It helps us to recognize our shortcomings healthily and learn from them.
Self-kindness shows us that sometimes we mess up, but we’re human, and it’s okay to mess up. When we learn that it’s alright to “fail,” we aren’t afraid of it because we’ve created a safe space for ourselves.
Self-kindness is learning to readjust your course when you’ve started to veer off the path without any dramatics. Self-kindness will create a boost in your confidence.
