2025 Goal Setting
Set Your 2025 Goals with Heart-Centered Coaching
One of the things I love most about life coaching is helping clients set meaningful goals right from the start. But these aren’t just any goals—they’re heart-centered goals that resonate deeply with who you are and where you want to go.
Why Heart-Centered Goals?
There’s a profound difference between goals set by the mind and those set by the heart:
Mind-Driven Goals:
Carry a sense of expectation, as if you “should” be somewhere.
Often tied to striving, control, a feeling of force/pressure, and anxiety.
Heart-Centered Goals:
Feel expansive and aligned. Carry a sense of spaciousness, joy, and inspiration.
Often after you read these goals, there’s a settled feeling of dropping into your heart and body because it feels “just right”
Setting goals gives you direction and purpose. It helps you focus your energy on what matters most to you. Reaching those goals could be a combination of inner work, mindset work, and action that moves you toward opening up your energy to align with what you’re ready to invite into your life.
Setting mind-driven goals and going through the motions to achieve them can often leave you feeling unfulfilled. Because those goals might not truly align with your heart and soul. You might feel a temporary sense of accomplishment, but it fades quickly. I’ve been there—pursuing goals simply because they seemed like the “next step” or chasing what I thought I wanted, only to find they lacked deeper meaning.
Heart-centered goals, on the other hand, are about much more than checking a box or reaching a specific outcome. They’re rooted in alignment with your values and desires, focusing on the growth and transformation you experience along the way. These goals don’t rely on external circumstances or forces beyond your control. They focus on putting energy into actions or changes that are within your control to get you to achieve what truly matters to you.
Some clients I’ve worked with often find that the process they go through to move toward a goal is even more rewarding than the goal itself. They grow as a person through the lessons they learn, their pride in their progress, and the sense of fulfillment that comes from honoring where they are in their journey. It’s not just about where you end up—it’s about how you grow along the way.
I have started 2025 by setting my own goals. My mind definitely wanted them to read differently at first. I had to go through a few iterations before what felt most true surfaced. When I read my final goals out loud to myself, they felt so good that I teared up. By the way, tears are so welcome when you’re working with me!
