Gentle goals can lead to big, meaningful success 🤍
When we miss goals, shame often follows, but that’s not a personal failure, it’s neuroscience. When the amygdala senses threat (even emotional stress), the brain shifts into survival mode and executive functioning drops off. In that state, big goals can feel impossible.
Gentle, micro-goals help your brain feel safe enough to re-engage, making growth more compassionate and sustainable especially as you consider what goals to set for the year ahead.
