EP 28: The Midweek Reset: Why Setting Goals Isn't Enough

Have you ever started a goal feeling motivated, only to lose momentum a few days later? In this Midweek Reset, Lori explores why vision is often more powerful than goals. Goals tell us what we want, but vision helps us connect emotionally to why it matters. Learn how creating a compelling picture of the life you want can increase motivation, simplify decision-making, and help you stay committed to the habits that support the future you're trying to build. In This Episode, You'll Learn: * Why goals alone often aren't enough to sustain motivation * How vision creates emotional connection and momentum * Why vision boards and inspiration can be powerful tools * How to identify what you're naturally drawn toward * The difference between chasing a goal and creating a future * How vision can help you make better daily decisions QUESTIONS 1. What am I consistently drawn toward? 2. What do I admire about it? 3. What need, value, or desire might that reveal? 4. What is one vision I want to create for this season of life?
