1. Initial Excitement
The thrill of new possibilities is always intoxicating, until you realize how much extra effort is required before change can take place.

2. Conflict
You might wonder, "Can I actually achieve this new goal? What if I try and fail?
This is where it starts to become clear that goal achievement is largely a self-esteem issue.

3. Doubt
You might focus on the difficulties or roadblocks, and wonder whether you can overcome them.
Combat this with daily affirmations.

It changed my whole trajectory.

6. Acceptance
Finally believing deep down that you're capable of reaching your new goals
You’ve bulldozed through the barriers triggered by your emotional responses. Now you’re on your way.

You’ve bulldozed through the barriers triggered by your emotional responses. Now you’re on your way.
When most people run out of steam in the 2-4 range,
To prevent future pain of failure, they eventually quit setting goals altogether.
Comfort and security rule their world.
Fuck that kind of life. You live ONCE.

Everyone experiences these emotional responses when setting high goals.

When you make it through the 6th emotional stage, there’s still work left to do.
Without inner congruence, you won’t last long.
