Feeling restricted or anxious about achieving goals can limit growth. While certain professions require structured processes, it's important to leave room for mistakes. Instead of focusing on material things or achievements, envision how you want to feel in the future. Consider what happiness looks like for you - peace and quiet or excitement and socializing. This mindset allows for more meaningful and fulfilling goals.
In our 20s we can often feel like we have to have a plan for our lives or a 5 year vision for where we want to be. This can cause us to be boxed in and blind to the surprises opportunities that life throws our way. The idea of a 5 year plan is a myth and in today's episode, we are going to break down why. From societal conventions of a 'good' life, the butterfly effect, the psychology behind impulsive decisions and goal setting and the need for a sense of control over the chaos of our 20s, we explore all that and more to uncover why your school counsellor was wrong and you DON'T need a five year plan for your life. Listen now.
