How To Set and Achieve The Right Goals for Next Year

It's mid-December, which means if you haven't started to think about your goals for next year, it's time to get on it.
 
But, in order to be successful with our goals, we have to clarify and trust in the goals that are right for us - NOT the goals we "think" we "should" have. In today's episode, I share how we often fail in our goals because we don't clarify the right aims, we don't trust in them, and we don't account for the inner blocks that will arise along the way.
 
If you've ever felt like you've struggled to reach your goals, or if you've felt there's something missing in your standard goal-setting process, this episode is for you.

The 5 Negative Thoughts We Hide From Ourselves

I think one of the biggest problems we all face is something I call Unconscious Unhappiness.
