With the fear and discord that is present and building in the world, I invite you to help me lift the energy of planet by starting with you and Choosing Happy for a few minutes each day.

Day 9 - Choosing E.A.S.Y Goals - E

Are you setting goals and resolutions this year?

If so these episodes are for you.

I present a strategy to test your commitment and motivation to your goal using E.A.S.Y

Today I begin with E

Are you ready to know if you'll follow through with your promises to yourself?

Community and Connection

My belief is that we win when we are compassionate, connecting and communicating unconditionally. When we are building a community of like-minded souls supporting each other through the dark days.

Be kind to those around you. They are living their own version of reality. If you want to be in conflict ensure it's aimed in the right direction. Be the example, by rejecting separation and embracing all, no matter where they are on their journey. Be the light, the example others want to follow.

I have created a community and resource pages on the Choosing Happy website at www.choosinghappy.co.uk - all will be available on day 6 - This was an intuitive urge to do this, to step up in my own way.

Speaker:

It's that time of year again.

Speaker:

When we set goals and look to the future.

Speaker:

Look to the year ahead.

Speaker:

And plan changes that'll make our lives better.

Speaker:

But how often do we fail?

Speaker:

In this episode and the next three episodes, I'd like to take you

Speaker:

through a goal testing strategy.

Speaker:

Just checking your goals, using the letters, E a.

Speaker:

S Y.

So that you've got easy goals.

Effortless goals that you want to continue with, that you determined to see through.

Speaker:

I'm Heather masters, and this is the choosing happy podcast.

Speaker:

Hello and welcome to the choosing happy podcast.

Speaker:

In this episode, we're looking at setting goals, rather testing the goals you've

Speaker:

set to ensure that you have enough in there that you've defined them well enough

Speaker:

that you're going to follow through and achieve them and see success in 2022.

Speaker:

In this episode, we begin with E of the easy goals.

Speaker:

And E stands for.

Speaker:

A lot of things really.

Speaker:

But one of the most important things is essence.

Speaker:

What is the essence of what you're asking for?

Speaker:

For instance, if you set a goal around losing weight, What is the

Speaker:

essence of losing weight to you?

Speaker:

Is it, so you'd look better in a bikini.

Speaker:

Is it about feeling healthier?

Speaker:

Is it about having more energy?

Speaker:

How will you feel?

Speaker:

When you've lost weight.

Speaker:

Is it about confidence?

Speaker:

What will it give you?

Speaker:

If it's about energy and health.

Speaker:

Are you willing to sustain it?

Speaker:

Beyond the losing weight.

Speaker:

Are you willing to really feel into it and acknowledge how.

Speaker:

Being healthier, being an ideal weight.

Speaker:

being energetic makes you feel.

Speaker:

Another E is it exciting enough for you?

Speaker:

Is it exciting enough to get you out of bed and get you positively

Speaker:

focused on achieving what you want?

Speaker:

Is it exciting?

Speaker:

In as much as that you're looking forward, not moving against something.

Speaker:

So you wanting to get healthy rather than to lose weight.

Speaker:

You're wanting to.

Speaker:

Feel confident.

Speaker:

You're wanting to thrive in your life and your business, rather than

Speaker:

just earning more money you wanting to serve and give value again,

Speaker:

rather than just earning more money.

Speaker:

How do you want to feel what's at the end of the day, is your.

Speaker:

Outcome.

Speaker:

And is it ecological?

Speaker:

Is it right for you?

Speaker:

Is it right for the people around you?

Speaker:

Is it right?

Speaker:

In the environment that you're in right now.

Speaker:

What's the impact of it.

Speaker:

If you achieving this goal means you're not at home for your family.

Speaker:

What's the ecological impact for your family?

Speaker:

Have you taken that into account?

Speaker:

If you're at the gym.

Speaker:

First thing in the morning, what's the impact it has on the

Speaker:

rest of your morning routine.

Speaker:

What's the effort.

Speaker:

Required to complete the goal.

Speaker:

And are you committed to that effort?
