In this episode, we\u2019re exploring an aspect of change that can be really tricky: figuring out why making this change is important to you.\xa0

It doesn\u2019t sound like it would be that hard.\xa0 But often it takes a little digging to get at the true heart of our WHY, our compelling reason.\xa0

Whether your goals have to do with your health, finances, career, relationships, or anything else, uncovering your compelling reason is crucial. Because it not only increases your chances of success; it also bolsters your overall mental and emotional health.\xa0

Key Takeaways

• Knowing what you want to change (or how you\u2019re going to go about it) often isn\u2019t enough to overcome the counter-pressure of the status quo.
• A lack of alignment between our goals and our values causes internal conflict that reduces our resilience to everyday stresses.
• When we pursue changes or goals that are about other people\u2019s expectations or approval, succeeding may not be as satisfying or rewarding as we think
• Wanting to avoid something bad is just as valid a reason as wanting to obtain something good. But it is a different sort of why.

Action Steps

1. Make a list of your reasons for wanting to accomplish a certain goal or create a specific change.\xa0
2. For each reason, ask yourself: But why do I want that? What would that bring into my life? Then what?\xa0
3. Keep asking that question until your answers feel connected to what you value most.
