Deep dives

The Power of Short-Term Focus

Focusing on the short-term, rather than overwhelming long-term goals, can significantly reduce anxiety around personal change. Instead of trying to envision the person one hopes to be in five or ten years, prioritizing who one wants to be today creates a more manageable approach to change. This mindset shift allows individuals to concentrate on small, actionable steps rather than the daunting overall picture, which can often lead to procrastination or inaction. By viewing change as a series of smaller choices, one can cultivate a sense of agency and momentum in their daily life.
