Alignment is everything. Misaligned goals are so counterproductive and just lead to self condemnation. When your goals align with your hierarchy of values it’s almost impossible to not meet them!

Yes! This is the way goal setting was meant to be. Really looking at what feels right, fuels you and makes you excited to get up every day! My word this year is Steady and it feels so darn in alignment!

“Do these goals match my season of life”…I feel this is an area that needs more focus for many. And we need to be able to add or remove goals that aren’t in season.

So glad you mention the nervous system! So overlooked by most thought leaders and yet a calm nervous system allows for intuition, creativity, and connection to self and others.

Totally, the nervous system is very important when setting goals 🙌

Vision boards are underrated! I have personally used a vision board and I achieved everything I had on it. It's wild!

Yes this is it! Feeling the call from within instead of making decisions based on your external reality. Also, love your word for the year.

Definitely! I also think it’s a great to create goals from a place of alignment

This really resonates. I love how you’re framing goals as something to align with rather than force. So many of us jump straight into execution without pausing to ask, “Does this actually fit the season I’m in?” That alignment piece is everything!! It’s what makes goals sustainable instead of draining.This feels like an invitation to move with intention, not pressure. Beautifully said!
