I shifted from an end goal focus to a process focus.
The problem with most goals is even when you achieve them...
They get replaced with OTHER goals.
That need for more is part of our survival instinct.
Their's a rationale behind 'the grass is always greener'.
But it can make every day unforgiving.
So while I DO have goals...
They're no longer my starting point.
Rather than look at the life I want to get,
I focus on shaping the life that I have now.
Take twenty minutes of your day to daydream what your perfect work day looks like.
I know for many that may seem like a contradiction,
But give it a go.
There are essential things that will always need to get done.
But there may be lots of things you can add or adjust.
For example:
𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳.
But I also want to inject more creativity into my day.
So I ended up building a marketing plan around my creativity.
𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴.
It heightens my appreciation of another craft.
So I bought a drawing book with daily 5 minute tasks.
𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀.
So I reallocated some email time to LinkedIn time.
It's a simple change of emphasis to journey from destination.
But it's the biggest one in improving my mental health.
So I'd recommend giving it a try!
