Setting Goals: Your Soul vs Your Ego
We’re almost a month into 2022 now babies – time flies when you’re blissed out, living your juiciest life and being a badass every single day. But it’s not too late (it’s never too late) to set any goals you want to set for the year ahead.
The new moon is coming next week: the perfect time to start a new project, set some intentions, harness the lunar energy to help you gain an important sense of direction as you work towards achieving your goals. Use this upcoming waxing moon phase to collect everything you need to bring your dreams to fruition – everything will become illuminated during this time.
But before we get there, it’s important to work out where your goals are coming from.
Are your goals coming from your ego, or are they coming from your soul? This is a vital question to ask yourself before you start using your precious, delicious time and energy on achieving these desires.
Your ego’s goals will be wild. They will be big, and they will likely be peppered with trauma responses left, right and goddamn centre. But your soul’s goals just aren’t like that. They’ll be completely aligned.
Make two lists: the goals your soul wants to achieve, and the goals your ego wants to achieve. See how they differ, and in which ways they might be the same. Are there any overlaps? Where are your most favoured goals coming from? What do you want the most – and is it trauma, or is it a genuine goal?
It’s all about finding the sweet spot. It’s not about just choosing your soul’s goals and ignoring your ego – and it’s definitely not about only following what your ego wants. It’s about finding a happy medium, a place where your soul and your ego can work together to produce goals, dreams and desires that really serve you.
Focus on the goals that will help you get to where you want to be. The goals that will help you grow as a person, and stop your from burning the fuck out. Set yourself up for success, baby, not failure.
