April Workshop · Working Powerfully with Goals

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

I’ve been finding that most people work with goals in one of three ways:

  1. They avoid setting goals because of fear of failing, feeling inadequate, or feeling forced to stick to them out of obligation;
  2. They make goals but force themselves to stick to them, but doing it out of obligation or “have to” instead of feeling inspired; or
  3. They set some goals that they’re not really committed to, staying safe and letting themselves off the hook.

These are all disempowered ways to work with goals. They leave us feeling a bit powerless to create the life and the world we want.

In our April Fearless Living Academy workshop, called “Working Powerfully with Goals,” we’ll be looking at a more powerful model.

Topics we’ll cover include:

  • Understanding how we keep ourselves safe (and disempowered)
  • Learning to bring awareness and love to these patterns
  • Noticing what impact this has on us
  • A more powerful way to work with goals
  • How to practice with this empowered way

This 90-minute workshop will include my teaching, as well as time for coaching and questions.

Join Fearless Living Academy to participate in this live session and explore a more empowered way to work with your goals.

with gratitude,
Leo

Many times, as we start out on our journey of self-growth, we think of the things we want to add: exercise, meditation, eating healthy, a morning routine, a productivity method. But as we deepen, we discover that what’s often required is letting go. It’s a powerful part of what we’re doing here in Fearless Living Academy. And it’s not easy. If we can practice letting go though … new possibilities open up. I find that incredibly powerful. That’s why our October Fearless Living Academy workshop...

One of the biggest successes of my life transformation has been continually improving my health and fitness, to the point where I feel genuinely healthy and good in my body. That’s something I believe many of us are striving for, at any age. That’s such a challenge in the modern environment we live in — with digital devices calling for our attention every waking hour, with work that often means being sedentary for hours a day, and with ultra-processed foods so hard to avoid. Pretty much...

Fundamental to everything we do in Fearless Living Academy is being fully present with whatever we do — whether that’s a new habit we’re forming, or meaningful work we’ve chosen, or just being with people who are important to us. That’s become more and more of a challenge in today’s digital landscape, with short-form video content, social media, online shopping, TV shows and YouTube videos, AI chat bots and so much more. Add to that the huge pile of tasks and emails we have to attend to, and...
