178. Abandon Your Goals in 2025

What if I told you that abandoning your goals could lead to a more meaningful and fulfilling running experience? What if we already have all that we want? Or what if there was a way to get to where we want faster that meant we actually had to let go of specific and rigid goals?

Today Lydia challenges the conventional ideas around goal setting and popularised hustle culture. We live in a 'do more' world and this episode is going to cover why chasing the next big thing is actually holding you back.

Episode covers:

- the problem with goals, the pitfalls of "heroic individualism" and comments on our obsession with hard work

- journey over destination mentality, structures and habits rather than obsession over outcome.

- mindfulness, ego and presence; how this affects our sense of self improvement and worth

- defining personal values; what themes emerge in your life, what brings you joy?

Material Mentioned;

- Brad Stulberg - 'The Practice of Groundedness'

- James Clear - 'Atomic Habits'

- Eckhart Tolle - ' A New Earth'

- Hugh Van Cuylenburg - 'The Resilience Project'
