This week I’m pondering the question – am I addicted to self-improvement? It might sound like an odd question for someone who has worked full time in the personal development industry for the last twenty years, but too much of anything is not so good, and there is a dark side to self-help, one that presupposes that who you are isn’t enough. I’ll take you through some of the warning signs that suggest your self-improvement may have become self-defeating. I’ll share with you the antidote for over reliance on self-improvement too. This week’s episode is a reminder that we should never trade happiness for the pursuit of happiness.
September is the new January for goal-setting
I’ve always loved the idea of starting afresh at this time of year. It must be the residue of that back to school mindset. However, rather than the term ‘goal-setting,’ I tend to use ‘intention setting’, ‘commitments’, and ‘promises’, richer, more meaningful words.
