Self-love is action…it’s change. In this episode, we chat about reevaluating the goals you had for the year and being okay with letting go of things that aren’t serving the direction you want to go anymore.
I chatted with my mentor, James McGowan, who taught me about taking action towards your goals. This skill is now embedded in how I approach my self-love journey with even more intent. We’re here to remind you that goals don’t have to be unattainable and they should bring you joy.
Season One, Episode Five
One of the things I aim to redefine is how self-love appears to us early on. Defining self-love as action was something that made sense early on. You’re the one that ignites the self-love journey, and taking action is how you keep momentum.
Turning goals into habits
I love chatting with James about strategic career moves. We often forget how those same goals can be applied to our self-love journey. Sometimes we choose goals that serve us for a season, part of the self-love journey is deciding what feels right for you. It’s okay to change your goal if it no longer serves your new purpose.
A lovely conversation with James McGowan
We dive into some of our favorite YouTubers and books to help with goals this episode. Atomic Habits by James Clear is a great one! Once you start to take action towards your goals, habits start to form. Taking inventory of different areas of your life is a great way to kickstart your self-love journey.
Our conversation reminded me of a lovely letter that will encourage you to accept the challenge of going all in for self-love. Starting something is hard but once we choose ourselves, that’s when the magic starts to happen. Episode five reminds me to keep going, I hope it will give you the motivation to start something for you.
