Aligning Actions and Goals

Do you ever notice that when you’re executing day in and day out on your standards and commitments for yourself or your to-do items or the plan in place that you feel better about yourself?

I have seen a pattern where clients will feel amazing about themselves on days they “nail” it and then less amazing on days they perceive a “failure”.

This is something I’ve experienced too, the more I do what I say I will, the higher my efficacy, esteem, and view of myself.

I think most people would agree on days they act in alignment with their goals and their next level self, the better they feel.

It’s a way of embodying the version of ourselves we seek to become and believe is better off or more confident and capable than the version of our current self.

So it feels good when we execute.

When you set unrealistic expectations and standards for yourself or try to follow a plan you don’t have any deeper connection or meaning to, you are probably not going to be as likely to meet those expectations and therefore you’ll probably feel less positively about yourself.

When you feel discouraged, quitting will only reinforce negative behaviors and affect but if you can instead step back choose a new next step that is more likely to help you become the version of you who is capable of succeeding on the step you just tried to take them that will support your growth!

Rather than existing in critical judgment you’re now existing with a strategic judgment of your behaviors, beliefs, needs, and opportunities.

Next time you have a moment of feeling bad about yourself, try to identify if there is or was something that happened that relates to not fulfilling an expectation, falling short, or feeling lesser than you’d like to be…then on a day or moment where you feel super good about yourself, take inventory on the % of your behaviors that were aligned with the version of you you’re working toward.

So, do you ever notice this? That the more pride you have in yourself and your behaviors then the better you tend to feel about / perceive yourself.

Would love to hear your experiences.
