Deep dives

The Limitations of Goal Setting

Goal setting often emphasizes specific outcomes, which can limit personal growth. Focusing solely on results like losing a certain amount of weight or finishing a project can create feelings of failure if those goals aren't met. This outcome-oriented mindset can erode confidence and discourage further goal-setting attempts. Goals, while helpful for direction, may inadvertently detract from the satisfaction gained from the journey and progress made along the way.
