Use Vision Instead Of Goal Setting For True Fulfillment

Episode Notes

[00:00] **Why I’m Sharing This Episode**

– I recorded this episode on January 1st for my private, client-only podcast.

– I’m sharing it here so you can get a feel for my day-to-day support and also to highlight the core message on shifting from goal-setting to vision creation.

– I’m hosting a **90-minute Emotional Mastery Workshop** on January 8th, 2025, where I’ll guide attendees to:

 – Reclaim control of their emotions and thoughts.

 – Align with their deepest desires.

 – Wake up daily with confidence, clarity, and joy.

– This workshop is open to only 10 people, so anyone interested can sign up at joinamanda.ca

[03:30] **My Reflection on 2025**

– I’m amazed that we’re already in 2025 and how time seems to fly.

– I want to shift the focus from typical goal-setting to **vision creation** because I find it more effective, fulfilling, and less anxiety-inducing.

[04:15] **Why I Favor Vision Creation Over Goal Setting**

– **Traditional Goal Setting** often makes us tie our self-worth to the outcome. If I meet the goal, I’m “good enough,” and if I don’t, I’m not.

– In my own life, I’ve gone to extremes when I was strictly “goal-oriented”—like unhealthy weight-loss methods—just to hit a target.

– **Vision Creation**, on the other hand, centers on the experience I want to cultivate and the values I want to honor.

[08:45] **How I Approach Vision Creation**

1. **Start with Emotions**:  

  – I ask myself which emotions I want to prioritize this year (e.g., peace, joy, satisfaction, love).  

  – These emotions become the foundation for my choices and actions.

2. **Align Goals with Values**:  

  – If satisfaction and joy are my priorities, I’ll check whether my goals—say, earning a certain amount of money—fit with these emotions.  

  – My actions will then be powered by feelings that are sustainable, rather than driven by anxiety or external pressure.

[12:00] **Decoupling Self-Worth from Achievements**

– I remind myself that my value as a person isn’t dependent on hitting a specific milestone.

– When I create a vision, I keep my self-worth separate from the final outcome. This frees me from burnout and fosters genuine growth.

[14:15] **Practical Steps for Vision Creation**

– I reflect on questions like:

 – *What are the emotions I want to feel every day in 2025?*

 – *What values guide the life I’m building?*

 – *How can I take actions that align with these emotions and values?*

– This process gives me a sense of control, clarity, and consistent momentum.
