Today’s plunge was a full immersion. Like, head under the surface of the ice water, full immersion. I’ve done that the last two days, and it hits differently, yet is still very refreshing and rejuvenating. Like many of you, my mind is churning about what goals I want to accomplish in 2023. Here is something I have begun switching my mindset on when it comes to goals. Many times I have set goals that were results-oriented. Like I wanted to reach a certain weight or lift a certain weight or make a certain income. Lately though, I have been shifting to action-oriented goals. Like I want to send so many emails each week or post on social media so many times or invest so much money each month or get in the ice bath each day. Can you see the difference? Both can be tracked, but the action-tracking gives you a more immediate readout of your progress. For me, I think I like the action-orientation better. For years, I was heavy on the dreaming of big goals and low on the action to make them reality. So that’s part of it. With the results-orientation, you still need to reverse engineer the steps you need to take to reach that goal anyway. So it’s not that one way is better when they’re completed. Because you still had to take the action steps to reach both. But my mindset is more on the side of falling in love with the process of doing the work, of taking the action, of showing up and creating the habits that will make those big dreams and goals come to reality. So…that being said, what are three goals you have for next year? Let’s share our goals to inspire action and growth in each other.
