Have you ever chased a goal, felt really good about attaining it, and then felt a bit deflated… then a bit restless… and then a bit eager to start towards the next one?
It's pretty common. It's like getting little dopamine hits of achievement, one after the other. A bit like a hamster on a wheel, running and running and running… but for what?
The good news is, there's another way. Nothing that involves striving harder, or finding a strategy to win… instead quitting the game entirely!
Seeing deeply how our experience of life—and of goals—is created, puts an entirely different spin on them.
As I discuss in this short video clip:
Once we see how goal attainment really works, and what it is that gives us that good feeling we seek, it shifts the goalposts entirely!
