About this episode
Do you feel a twinge of anxiety or regret settle in after you’ve set a goal? It’s similar to how people often feel after making a big purchase. You get really excited about your goal, only to feel this wave of doubt sink in. I call this goal phenomenon “goal remorse.” In this episode of The Savvy Painter podcast, we’ll dive deeper into what goal remorse is and why it pops up. I’ll also give you some tips to calm the overthinking of your goal, help you feel good about your decision, and stay on track with your vision. 1:36 - What goal remorse is, why you feel it, and questions to ask yourself when the goal you’ve set is too vague 7:57 - A close cousin of “shiny-object syndrome” that leads to goal remorse and the bigger win you gain by committing to your goals 14:20 - How recognizing that you’re in a negative thought pattern, challenging it, and reframing it will help defuse it 17:00 - One of my favorite and constantly used tools for calming down the nervous system 19:19 - The power of self-hypnosis or mental rehearsal to train your brain to trust yourself and your instincts when it comes to your goal 21:44 - An important thing to remember after you’ve committed to a goal and the importance of scheduling time for reassessing 24:25 - How to give yourself accountability to help eliminate any sort of goal remorse or doubts around your goal Mentioned in Doubts Don’t Mean You Chose the Wrong Goal Join Growth Studio Support the show And hey - if this episode hit home, do me a favor, leave a review on Apple Podcast or come say hi on Instagram: @savvypainterpodcast I’d love to hear this episode resonated you. ❤️
