Об эпизоде
<p>Whether you’re a ‘new year new me’ aficionado, a 5-year planner, or get sweaty at the thought of setting goals, this episode is for you.</p> <p>🎟️ Our live show <em>Together Again</em> is on sale now! Tickets here - <a href="https://bit.ly/4mEK9Ep">https://bit.ly/4mEK9Ep</a></p> <p>Joined by our resident psychologist Dr Emily Musgrove, we’re unpacking goal setting, which at its core, is the intention to change our behaviour.</p> <p>In this episode, Hugh, Ryan and Josh, with the help of Dr Em, talk through why goals may seem intimidating, and how to reconcile the idea that there is no growth when you are not changing.</p> <p>Leading us into a very lovely introduction of a strengths-based approach to change, Dr Em explains SMART goals using Hugh’s bedtime as a real-life example. And for those with a particularly strong inner critic (or rocky relationship with goals), Dr Em gently guides Hugh, Ryan and, especially Josh, through the blessing of allowing ourselves some slack, leading from the feet up and engaging in committed action.</p> <p>AND, we learn about temptation bundling and Hugh’s taste in music (not as dirty as it sounds).</p> <p>Dr Em, you’re in all of our inner cheer squads</p> <p>To watch this full video on YouTube, follow this link: <a href="https://youtu.be/bUOUs0UKg_w">https://youtu.be/bUOUs0UKg_w</a> </p> <p>🫖 Other Imperfects episodes mentioned in this episode</p> <ul> <li>Chrissie Swan - Honesty - <a href="http://bit.ly/3IQd6zq">http://bit.ly/3IQd6zq</a></li> <li>Getting Vulny - Josh’s Big Announcement - <a href="http://bit.ly/4h5RI5V">http://bit.ly/4h5RI5V</a></li> <li>Dr Emily - The Meaning of Mid-Life - <a href="http://bit.ly/3IZGQtE">http://bit.ly/3IZGQtE</a></li> <li>Dr Emily - What Are Your Values? - <a href="http://bit.ly/4mZwvvI">http://bit.ly/4mZwvvI</a></li> <li>Kemi Nekvapil - A Compass for When You’re Lost - <a href="http://bit.ly/4q2UFIw">http://bit.ly/4q2UFIw</a></li> <li>Maria Ruberto - Sleep Your Way To Your Top - <a href="http://bit.ly/470shxZ">http://bit.ly/470shxZ</a></li> <li>Josh van Cuylenburg - Midlife Crisis Averted - <a href="http://bit.ly/4mRxLkt">http://bit.ly/4mRxLkt</a></li> </ul> <p>📖 Things to read</p> <ul> <li>Unstuck by Dr Emily Musgrove - <a href="http://bit.ly/4o8JFay">http://bit.ly/4o8JFay</a></li> <li>Rick Hanson, The Inner Caring Committee - <a href="http://bit.ly/4h7USGq">http://bit.ly/4h7USGq</a></li> <li>Katy Milkman, Fresh Start Effect - <a href="http://bit.ly/3J2sKrq">http://bit.ly/3J2sKrq</a></li> </ul> <p>🎧Things to listen to</p> <ul> <li>River Deep Mountain High by Celine Dion - <a href="http://bit.ly/48Wuk8J">http://bit.ly/48Wuk8J</a></li> </ul> <p>💻Things to do</p> <ul> <li>VIA Character Strength Ranker - <a href="http://bit.ly/4h2KYFJ">http://bit.ly/4h2KYFJ</a></li> </ul> <p>🩷To host your own Vulnerabilitea House, (with the new cards!) purchase here - <a href="http://bit.ly/4lyuuWz">http://bit.ly/4lyuuWz</a></p> <p>🩵To purchase our journal (or your novel) <em>My Imperfect Life,</em> click here - <a href="http://bit.ly/4lyuuWz">http://bit.ly/4lyuuWz</a></p> <p>💌To subscribe to our newsletter, <em>my imperfect email</em>, click here - <a href="http://bit.ly/45NyQDy">http://bit.ly/45NyQDy</a></p> <p>🩵To join our patreon community, <em>A Little More Imperfects,</em> follow this link - <a href="http://bit.ly/4mqunxu">http://bit.ly/4mqunxu</a></p> <p>🩷 AND you can subscribe to <em>A Little More Imperfects</em> through Apple Podcasts too, here - <a href="http://bit.ly/4mq5BO5">http://bit.ly/4mq5BO5</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Chapters<br>0:00 – A strange start to the episode<br>3:42 – Chrissie Swan tells us to move forward<br>13:58 – Strength-based approach to change<br>22:18 – SMART domains for change<br>34:57 – Strategies to achieve your goals<br>44:56 – Lapse vs relapse<br>51:09 – The fresh start effect, motivation slump and metaphors galore!<br>59:09 – Celebrate!<br>1:08:31 – Now is the time to get on the wrong train</p> <p> </p> <p>The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.
