I have been a writer all my life... A writer who no longer writes. I barely got started. Perfectionism paralyzed me. Stress sapped my strength. Misfortunes crushed my hope. I have always been an artist, a creator... Who no longer creates. My dream in 2023 is to begin creating again. Imperfectly. My goal is to start writing regularly. 2 - 5 x a week. Comparing myself to no one except the person I was yesterday. The writer who did not write. If I write today, whatever it is, I know it will be better than yesterday.
Hey, a writer here and trust me I can deeply relate to every word you said. The perfectionist syndrome it truly handicaps our true/authentic powers. The raw and imperfect ones.
Your reply sounds like my story too! Let's high-5 each other now, and go for a renewal of mind and soul! Let's get your tools out and "do" a something on paper!
My biggest goal is to make sure my mother gets everything she wants out of life for everything she sacrificed in life to give all of us a better life. And to make sure she's proud of me and really just continue to give her everything l couldn't before because that honestly make life worth it even more. No matter how old l get or gf or wife l do ever get she will always come first. She's my heartbeat and the reason l keep going. Thank you mom l know you'll never see this but in her heart l hope she feels this.
My goals are to eat right, have an organized and clean home, read my bible everyday, save money, avoid being lazy, reduce time spent on my phone, exercise
I listened to this whilst walking my dog. Goals 1. Walk dogs without getting out breath by June. ie walk more often, a bit further. 2. Create 2-3 pieces of art every week. 3. By April my plans to move to a rural area will be taking shape. Thanks Mel you’ve shaken me out of a lethargic stupor ❤
I need to crank out art as well. I hope i can get my marketing agency going so i can move somewhere with more nature. I love outdoor sports but wasted the last 5 years here. More people, less nature. What was i thinking?!??!?!
I love you. My support system is wonderful. It sounds boastful that everyone I know thinks I am perfect and that I have “paid my dues” and can just take it easy in my 80 plus years. How utterly unrewarding is that scenario. You, Mel, remind me that having goals and purpose is what gives life that intangible quality that makes each day an adventure. Thank you for caring for all of us. ❤
2 goals that I want to work on this year: 1) complete my coding bootcamp by mid-August 2) Strength train 4x/week (preferable in the morning) Thanks, Mel! Love your content!
Love this! First 3 goals for the year: 1. Connect with 5-10 new and old friends in 30 days. 2. Walk 20 times in 50 days. 3. Set up a morning routine and do the full steps 50 days out of 90. Thank you for the steps and breaking it down so I can feel successful!
Hey Mel, I'm sure you don't have the time to read all these comments! I just want to let you know that when you said the following: when you achieve your goal then the victory is short-lived. That is so true! I started going through in my head every time I climb to a top of a big hike, renovated my kitchen, finished a course, and the list goes on. I thought I would feel great and I did but only for a day or two. The chasing of the goal is the key. I never thought about it that way but now that I know that; things are going to change for me! Thank you for the excellent content and all your words of wisdom.💜
Mel, I need this video so bad ! I’m struggling with procrastinating every day. Since I discover your videos , you’ve gave me hope. I’m starting to read the high five habit. I need to tell you huge thanks for motivating me. Just by listening you on RUclips make me feel that I’m not alone. I need to Lear how to make goals, thanks MEL. LOVE REY.
7:20 I am working on my healing my brain, finally leaving my narcissistic psychotic husband, didn’t leave until I couldn’t walk or stand anymore (advanced MS). I made a vow and didn’t want to break it, had my daddy come get me. Never looked back, stayed too long because I couldn’t leave my dog (accidentally therapy dog). Now I’m walking, working on learning to drive again (it’s been 5 years). Working on my book, “How My (M) Sclerosis (S) Saved my life” I looked at what really makes me happy- nature photography, and writing. It’s easy for me if it’s just doing what I love!
5,4,3,2,1.......we gotta keep doing that! I am an expert procrastinator. Ruined my life but i can rebuild!!! I will rebuild!!!! Need to declutter my brain and focus!!! No more floating around the internet!!!
YESSSS...Thank you Mel! After these last 2 years putting us all in confusion and feeling lost...We Need to REFOCUS! Never thought I would be excited about homework🤣. But I'm ready for these upcoming podcasts and writing it down..and seeing my goals on paper...locking in the goals! My saying for 2023: The change I want to see In 2023 Is up to me!
Mel, my side hustle is I work as a master gardener. Happy to talk with you but let me encourage you to look at other gardens. No one does gardens better than the English. The Chelsea garden show is the end of May this year. Book a trip. Until then watch gardening shows on Prime or RUclips. BTW, I woke up this morning and meditated on my 3 goals before I even saw this podcast
I quit drinking 30 years ago. One day at a time adds up. Start by putting a number on your high-five in the mirror. Day 1, high five, next day Day 2, high five. You go girl. You will feel so much better. God promises. Ok, my goal nutrition….
Hi Mel. This was so uplifting. Came right on time when I've planed a meeting with my 21yr daughter- who I've watched her zest for living slowly vanishing for the past 3yrs. I've made notes for our meeting on Jan 7th @ 2pm. Thanks for giving more zest in being the best mom I can be. Good luck on you gardening - they will be beautiful.
Do you realize that you manifested everything coming to fruition in your life now after your most recent move to your new house? Even down to the gardening in that ladies grove of flowers that spoke to you encouraging you to reach out to her and then went there to get what you wanted but also showed up in a time if need for another (the owner of the grove of flowers)... Mel your amazing and all of these things are working similarly in my life. I didn't know it until now because listening to you is finally putting words to an experience I, for the longest time, couldn't explain. I get it now. Thanks for being on this journey with me! Sincerely, your friend 😊 Laura H.
Omg, I am so excited about this series. I have been retired for a few years now, and have felt like I've just been sleepwalking aimlessly through my days. Now I know exactly what I need. Goals! Mel, I hope you'll keep us updated on your progress, too!
Hello there! Happy new year to you () I just recently subscribed to this channel and found many capturing comments and videos. I just wanted to say Hello when I came across your account! Hope you're well! Scott
Hi Mel, my name is Mardell. I’ve been watching your determining your dream videos along with your goal setting. You can’t even imagine how much you have helped me. Not only have I defined my dreams defined and then redefined and then redefined my goals, found the will found the why, or the way, I believe I know how to achieve them now. So after your video, I am doing that one tiny thing right now.. my goal is to start a business on RUclips. I’ve been researching and researching and researching but through your tutelage. I have learned to break these steps into smaller goals to achieve what I want. I want to thank you and I want you to know that this is my tiny thing now, and I will be watching you probably for the rest of my life.. I don’t need luck, because I am blessed, but I also have a great teacher now in you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and bless you.
Absolutely loved this podcast. You’re so amazing! Thank you so much for all the interesting information. My goals are to finish my life coaching online classes, paint more, eat healthier and get physically fit! I will revisit this podcast episode again. Lots of great golden nuggets here! I admire you so much for all you do to help others on their path to better themselves! ❤🥰
Many moons ago, I thought once I reached my goal, my life would be perfect and everything would just fall into place-NOT! Also, reaching one’s goal is not going to give one eternal happiness-one is going to reach the goal and feel proud- that is the accomplishment. Expecting more than this, is not reality. I think most people have an inflated view of goals. Once they reach their goal and it is not everything that they expected, they go back to their old ways and habits. I think most people are looking for a constant drip of happiness and daily life is not like that. Daily life ebbs and flows, has its peaks and lows. I believe we all can change our own life, but not life itself. We all must accept life as it is and realize we don’t have the power to change anyone around us either. Mel, good luck with your seed garden. Big tip- buy quality seeds and excellent soil. You must treat it like a baby and then don’t be surprised if the caterpillars and plant pests start to attack. Of course, watering is key and ALOT of PATIENCE!! I had to switch to tried and true flowering plants. I don’t seem to get the finished product that the package displays. Usually much smaller and not as plentiful. I realized that the plant nursery business is a billion dollar industry with chemist so I should bring my expectations down. As far as trees, that is better but it is easy to buy the tree, but hard to get a male in the family to dig the hole needed. Say goodbye to pretty nails and wear knee high boots as it seems that soil always finds its way into the inside of shoes!!! If you do get some jewels blooming, please share as there is nothing prettier than a gorgeous fresh flower from one’s garden!😊🌹🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼💐 P.S. I hope you don’t lush out on the 76th day!!!
I think we need to enjoy the journey (ups and downs) of our goals and not just look forward to the accomplishment ! I feel that’s what brings the let down at least in my case❤️
I always get something out of your videos and this one blew the doors off goal setting. I shared this with my niece and we are now sharing our goals, cheering each other on and being accountability partners. You are so relatable and brilliant with your research. I'm so grateful to have found you when you had your television show and stood out because you are so authentic and truly care about people. Love the podcast and I tell everyone to check it out.
I have some very big goals I want to achieve by this time next year. One is getting out of debt so I can get a better apartment that allows pets (I'm the crazy cat lady with no cats). There is a life coach that I absolutely LOVE named Macie Renae. She talks about how our circumstances are a product of our thinking. I love that. In order to change our future, we must change our present. And I love this video you made! Sometimes my brain gets overwhelmed at all the changes I want to make. My mind gets foggy. I know what I want. I just need the steps to get there and YOU nailed it perfectly for me. Setting goals will certainty help me to achieve my dreams ❤ thank you for making this, Mel!
Thank you so much for being honest about ADHD. I’m often feeling like a “full time looser”. Thank you for your shorts they remind me to do it! Over and over and over and over again. Today I start the 100001. time from begin 😂🎉❤
Mel this is a great discussion and insightful giving regarding how you are setting your personal goals. When you go to events, seek out others that don't drink but are holding cocktails glasses, engaging will give you all such joy at the functions. 1.learn to be an amazing cook, for myself - identify mental/physical road blocks and remove them. 2. tend to property by or before 7am each day , a little here a little there each day toward improvement = sleep earlier. 3. Stay out of isolation that can go with rural lifestyle, perpetual nesting is just that perpetual. List of actions 1/2 hr perday.
Goal One-Go to college to strengthen skills and experience I am obtaining at work because I love what I’ve started doing so why not get a degree that compliments what I’m doing! Goal two- help to create a new environment at my job because in order to grow as a company we have to support the goals of the company.
It was 2021 when I first watched a vlog of a famous author of which Mel Robbins was a guest. I don't remember the topic, though. But I am glad the RUclips algorithm lead me to her channel which definitely give me another chance to relive the incredible encounter I had with Mel even by just watching her science-backed talks. I may not have vividly remembered back then but all I could recall was her advising the people to embrace imperfections, especially in goal setting. When we get overwhelmed with a goal, it is easier to procrastinate, thus become a victim of false confidence.
I am getting my Master Degree. I am starting my first class Monday. My Tibet step read a recommended article today. Tomorrow I am writing my post for Monday’s class! Thanks Mel-love you too!
My goal is to live a healthy,wealthy, happy life, doing what I love to do , go where I want to go, get what I want, and give that much that I love to give ❤
OMGosh this is good. The reward is not in the arrival at the goal but in the pursuit of the goal. Yes! It makes me think about how flowers grow toward sunlight. The joy is in the growth. Growth is the essence of LIFE itself! A stone can be strong and stable (and stubborn), but a flower is beautiful and alive! The human spirit was created to be ALIVE!
I’m hearing this at the perfect time. I’m home sick from work with RSV. Then my back went out and I’m literally physically paralyzed and in pain. I’m in a corporate job earning less than I should, 2% annual increases , working at a junior job with senior level responsibilities and they will not promote me. I face each day filled with regret shame and angst that my future is in “their” hands. I took the job 9 years ago when my kids were little and needed the income. I still need the income and know my worth. I have a gift. I’ve been playing small and have silenced myself to survive. I’m on my living room floor with my back frozen and my throat silenced. This might be the greatest realization day of my life. This is no accident. Ps- I’m 58😅
OMG! Thank you so much Mel! I have been lost with setting goals for ages and ages. This has finally given me the focus and clarity I have so desperately needed. By the time I have finished watching this video (it's taken me about 3hrs with lots of pausing and thinking) I now have three clearly defined goals and lots of actions I can take to achieve them. Just about to watch your video on Habits now! XX
Here I am once Again, listening to Rod Stewart & Maggie May. This song brings an inner piece in me & makes my day go so much smoother & better. His music is part of my daily routine. My son chose “Have I told you lately that I love you” as his Mother-Son dance song at his wedding. His first concert was when he was a little boy was Rod Stewart. I have to admit I enjoyed the concert just as much as he did!! What a great show he puts on!!💖💖💖
They're not specific yet, but my 2023 Goals (perfectionist ver.): 1. A new career overseas 2. Become a successful online entrepreneur on the side 3. Become healthier, physically and mentally I'm going to break it down into smaller goals soon. Thanks Mel!
Hi Mel! I’m working as an activities assistant director at an assisted living place I’m planning on sharing this goal setting with the residents. I’m so excited about helping them with goal setting
OMG Mel! I've been setting my goals watching your videos and following your steps starting since 2018 and this video it's a total game changer! It's like everything starts falling into place and I finally know how to set my goals and dream. Every year you tach me how to do it, thank you so much ❤❤❤❤
Wow. Ok I’ve listened a couple of times and I have a goal. I’m going to start 1000 to 1200 seedlings of assorted vegetables. Some will be for my garden and some for resale. My dream is to start a nursery ❤. It’s a big dream
Thank you Mel! Now I start moving toward my professional singing career by resuming my music training and daily vocal exercises. I will keep you posted!
Thank you for thoroughly explaining this subject. I feel like you were speaking my thoughts and voicing my fears. You have inspired me to dig in and walk it out. Thank you so much.
I love this video. And while I'm not a huge goal setter person, I realize that I have this thing where I do mini goals and it kind of motivates me on days when I feel like I'm going in circles. I have that list in my head of things I wish I'd take time to do. Not chores..I have that list too. But "fun/self care" things. Mine are take a walk on the beach which is just steps away but I'm always too busy, read a bit more of a book, and if I'm feeling ambitious- not a self-help book lol, write in my journal, go for a walk... They're all things that are right at my fingertips-no prep, no driving anywhere, no makeup required, etc. So they're just kind of my little nagging things in the back of my head, below my to do list nagging things. I set a timer for 5 minutes and just pick one. So even if I end up just walking down to the water and looking at it for 2 minutes and walking back, I've achieved it, and it gives me a boost. And sometimes it'll turn into an hour walk on the beach. Either way, I achieved a goal and it feels good. Just thought I'd share 🙂
Mel, I took notes and learned so much more about the goal setting. The amount of goals works for me so that we aren’t so overwhelmed and end up not achieving them. Thank you so much for sharing and helping us to actually write them out. I just finished the podcast and I’ve written them out. Not procrastinating anymore. Thanks for inspiring.💕
Take an extended break from wine - FOR HEALTH, complete 2 of my chldren’s books in this year (I’ve been working on them for years😂) and add much more variety to each day❤
Love this episode. I have 3 goal, now i had 2 goals. 1. Mindfulness teacher study, be finish august 2024. 2. Workout 5 min pilates or yoga every evning with youtube.
This is a fantastic episode Mel. I will definitely be coming back to this since I’ve been feeling pretty lost in my life at the moment. Thanks so much!
I just commented on on your video from yesterday thanking you and saying how you inspire me but I’m stuck with applying all these great tools I know. I hit send and then this video popped up. Coincidence, not!! Thanks Mel
Thank you so much, friend Mel! This helped tremendously. I'm going to reduce ideas for goals for 2023, right now. Choose which ones really matters and find a way to start small! 🧡
Mel, am thrilled to hear that will be investing in things that will bring you some happiness. You are a wonderfully generous teacher, but I fear you run without rest. Time to grab some joy for yourself. I love how you've turned your radical honestly on yourself. This show is like watching a beautiful flower bloom. You are growing fields of flowers out here too.
I’ve been following since the very first episode, and have loved the journey!! But this episode really got me pumped! Thanks so much Mel. You’re a very very special person. I love how real you are. We can all relate.
I am making ALL of the mistakes you mentioned. Are you an angel? Are you the ghost of Christmas past?? Are you my fairy godmother???? I knew I was doing SOMETHING wrong, but I didn’t know what I didn’t know. Thank you, I needed this badly ❤
My first, immediate, very easily accomplished "goal", which I performed and achieved instantly, was creating a RUclips Playlist called GOALS, to which this podcast is the first addition. My second, very easily accomplished "Goal" will be to find more videos and information about how best to set a more targeted goal (weight loss, for example). Great information here. Thanks
My original goal was 30 days not drinking, it’s now been two full years and I haven’t had a drink since. I kept expanding my goal but now it’s just how I roll because I feel so much better and get more done.
Thank you Mel for this amazing podcast the more I hear you talk about all these life hacks. I start believing that life is possible. That dreams are attainable. That there is more to life that I once used to believe. I really want to thank you from the bottom of my heart all the amazing work that you do. I'm tearing up as I'm writing this to you. Thank you for giving me hope.
Thanks Mel, thanks for clarifying the purpose, of goal setting is less the achievement, but more the purpose in life those goals give you. Giving yourself direction and purpose is totally what I was ignoring with my goals. I was that person only focussing on the how than the why.
Mel i just love you do you know whats different for me this year is listening to you all my life I've done everything for every one in my lift im not wasting this year trying to change people it does not work my goals are drinking my water walking more eat healthy for me not for anyone else Love you lots Mel ❤ ♥ 💖

Thank you as always x I love the fact that you ve changed your intro to include your accomplishments and authority on the matters you talk about. It is refreshing to hear the change and wish you all the best this weekend x
Mel I listened to your audible podcast back in Nov and now I’m a loyal fan. Thank you for all of your amazing, inspirational, life changing messages. Especially excited for this new goal setting series. Thank you 🙏🏻🤍
Thank you Mel ... I am nearly as excited as you about goal setting. Already did one little step you suggested: share your podcast with a friend! I think 2023 will be a good (wanted to write excellent, but thought of the sweet spot) year for me.
Hi Mel, love your podcasts ever Monday & Thursday - I will be joining you with a morning daily journalling practice as well as meditation & yoga. On another point, is the painting on the wall the painting that you said you would own one day and you ended up meeting the artist? Thank you Roisin xx
You’re an amazing woman, Mel. You are blessing millions just by you being you and you sharing yourself and knowledge and experience with others - to help others live happier lives. You are appreciated ♥️ thank you 🙏🏼
My number goal is to descover myself more ..give myself love ..more self esteem ..and compassion. Second goal is gardening just like you ..i wanna have a beautiful garden ..green space Third goal is excersing
Goals (I had four, picked only two... ahhh, felt so good to LET GO of the extra two goals...) 1) Lose 15 - 25 pounds and at least one dress size during 2023, and keep it off. 2) Build the foundation of a beautiful, sustainable garden at the new house, and enjoy a bountiful harvest. Love, hugs, and high fives!
I JUST LOVE YOU MEL, I FOUND YOU TWO DAYS AGO AT JUST THE RIGHT MOMENT IN MY LIFE, YOU ARE MY SOUL SISTER. POWER TO THE TOO SENSITIVE, TOO ANXIOUS, TOO LOUD, TOO HONEST, TOO GIVING AND TOO IN LOVE WITH THE WORLD, AND TOO SMART TO BELIEVE THAT. ANY OF THAT WILL EVER BE TOO MUCH FOR THIS WEARY PLANET.
Have listened to lot of different motivational videos about planning, goal setting. But Mel gave the most clear, to the point and logical advices. I have been stuck making goals, but I feel much more clear have finally have some confidence to set up my own goals. Thank you Mel 👍

Enjoy the out pouring when you write, you deserve it! Voracious readers do not demand perfectionism of any sort.

I really like how REAL Mel is 👏👍🙏💖
The greatest takeaway for me is, 'Nothing is more motivating than progress.' Brilliant idea!
My goals are to eat right, have an organized and clean home, read my bible everyday, save money, avoid being lazy, reduce time spent on my phone, exercise
Mel, you're different from other motivational speakers; you're down to earth and real. I love how honest you are. Thank you for everything you do.
I listened to this whilst walking my dog.
Goals
1. Walk dogs without getting out breath by June. ie walk more often, a bit further.
2. Create 2-3 pieces of art every week.
3. By April my plans to move to a rural area will be taking shape.
Thanks Mel you’ve shaken me out of a lethargic stupor ❤

Yes yes yes. Totally agree❤️❤️
❤🥰
Just cancelled my Netflix subscription!!
Thank you Mel - you are a shining light 💕
Exercise consistency, run and get caught up with all medical issues. Stop smoking, drink more water and in ease my income.
According to Mel, too many. But I wish you luck.

2 goals that I want to work on this year:

Aren't 10 new friends too many? I mean if you have other goals, that would take a lot of time 😅
@@thatElene for sure lol emphasis on the old
Hey Mel, I'm sure you don't have the time to read all these comments! I just want to let you know that when you said the following: when you achieve your goal then the victory is short-lived.

I am working on my healing my brain, finally leaving my narcissistic psychotic husband, didn’t leave until I couldn’t walk or stand anymore (advanced MS). I made a vow and didn’t want to break it, had my daddy come get me. Never looked back, stayed too long because I couldn’t leave my dog (accidentally therapy dog).
Now I’m walking, working on learning to drive again (it’s been 5 years). Working on my book, “How My (M) Sclerosis (S) Saved my life” I looked at what really makes me happy- nature photography, and writing. It’s easy for me if it’s just doing what I love!
5,4,3,2,1.......we gotta keep doing that! I am an expert procrastinator. Ruined my life but i can rebuild!!! I will rebuild!!!! Need to declutter my brain and focus!!! No more floating around the internet!!!
3 goals: health and weight management, the additional job that I got - prepare, good connection with the kids.
This changed my perspective completely. Thank you God , and thank you Mel
YESSSS...Thank you Mel! After these last 2 years putting us all in confusion and feeling lost...We Need to REFOCUS! Never thought I would be excited about homework🤣. But I'm ready for these upcoming podcasts and writing it down..and seeing my goals on paper...locking in the goals! My saying for 2023: The change I want to see
In 2023
Is up to me!
Mel, my side hustle is I work as a master gardener. Happy to talk with you but let me encourage you to look at other gardens. No one does gardens better than the English.

Just retired too ❤❤❤❤❤
so true! retirement should come with instructions!
About to step into retirement... I am hyperventilating at all the stuff I want to do! Finally!
I’m 52. Where have you been all my life? Love how logical this approach is, I think this will work! Thank you!
Hello there! Happy new year to you () I just recently subscribed to this channel and found many capturing comments and videos. I just wanted to say Hello when I came across your account! Hope you're well! Scott
Hi Mel, my name is Mardell. I’ve been watching your determining your dream videos along with your goal setting. You can’t even imagine how much you have helped me. Not only have I defined my dreams defined and then redefined and then redefined my goals, found the will found the why, or the way, I believe I know how to achieve them now. So after your video, I am doing that one tiny thing right now.. my goal is to start a business on RUclips. I’ve been researching and researching and researching but through your tutelage. I have learned to break these steps into smaller goals to achieve what I want. I want to thank you and I want you to know that this is my tiny thing now, and I will be watching you probably for the rest of my life.. I don’t need luck, because I am blessed, but I also have a great teacher now in you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and bless you.
This episode reminds me of the quote "if there's a will, there's a way. You are a rockstar Mel. Sending love from the Philippines ❤❤❤
Absolutely loved this podcast. You’re so amazing! Thank you so much for all the interesting information. My goals are to finish my life coaching online classes, paint more, eat healthier and get physically fit! I will revisit this podcast episode again. Lots of great golden nuggets here! I admire you so much for all you do to help others on their path to better themselves! ❤🥰
Many moons ago, I thought once I reached my goal, my life would be perfect and everything would just fall into place-NOT!
Also, reaching one’s goal is not going to give one eternal happiness-one is going to reach the goal and feel proud- that is the accomplishment. Expecting more than this, is not reality.
I think most people have an inflated view of goals. Once they reach their goal and it is not everything that they expected, they go back to their old ways and habits. I think most people are looking for a constant drip of happiness and daily life is not like that. Daily life ebbs and flows, has its peaks and lows.
I believe we all can change our own life, but not life itself. We all must accept life as it is and realize we don’t have the power to change anyone around us either.
Mel, good luck with your seed garden. Big tip- buy quality seeds and excellent soil. You must treat it like a baby and then don’t be surprised if the caterpillars and plant pests start to attack. Of course, watering is key and ALOT of PATIENCE!!
I had to switch to tried and true flowering plants. I don’t seem to get the finished product that the package displays. Usually much smaller and not as plentiful. I realized that the plant nursery business is a billion dollar industry with chemist so I should bring my expectations down.
As far as trees, that is better but it is easy to buy the tree, but hard to get a male in the family to dig the hole needed.
Say goodbye to pretty nails and wear knee high boots as it seems that soil always finds its way into the inside of shoes!!! If you do get some jewels blooming, please share as there is nothing prettier than a gorgeous fresh flower from one’s garden!😊🌹🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼💐
P.S. I hope you don’t lush out on the 76th day!!!
I think we need to enjoy the journey (ups and downs) of our goals and not just look forward to the accomplishment ! I feel that’s what brings the let down at least in my case❤️
I always get something out of your videos and this one blew the doors off goal setting. I shared this with my niece and we are now sharing our goals, cheering each other on and being accountability partners. You are so relatable and brilliant with your research. I'm so grateful to have found you when you had your television show and stood out because you are so authentic and truly care about people. Love the podcast and I tell everyone to check it out.
I have some very big goals I want to achieve by this time next year. One is getting out of debt so I can get a better apartment that allows pets (I'm the crazy cat lady with no cats). There is a life coach that I absolutely LOVE named Macie Renae. She talks about how our circumstances are a product of our thinking. I love that. In order to change our future, we must change our present. And I love this video you made! Sometimes my brain gets overwhelmed at all the changes I want to make. My mind gets foggy. I know what I want. I just need the steps to get there and YOU nailed it perfectly for me. Setting goals will certainty help me to achieve my dreams ❤ thank you for making this, Mel!
Mel the future you says you can keep these goals because this is her lifestyle. I am here for you Mel. Thankyou for always being there for me!
A new year planner gets me so excited.
Thank you so much for being honest about ADHD. I’m often feeling like a “full time looser”.
Thank you for your shorts they remind me to do it! Over and over and over and over again. Today I start the 100001. time from begin 😂🎉❤
Thanks…. You”re been saving my life every SINGLE day! Paulo from Brasil
Mel this is a great discussion and insightful giving regarding how you are setting your personal goals.
When you go to events, seek out others that don't drink but are holding cocktails glasses, engaging will give you all such joy at the functions.
1.learn to be an amazing cook, for myself - identify mental/physical road blocks and remove them.
2. tend to property by or before 7am each day , a little here a little there each day toward improvement = sleep earlier.
3. Stay out of isolation that can go with rural lifestyle, perpetual nesting is just that perpetual. List of actions 1/2 hr perday.
Goal One-Go to college to strengthen skills and experience I am obtaining at work because I love what I’ve started doing so why not get a degree that compliments what I’m doing!
Goal two- help to create a new environment at my job because in order to grow as a company we have to support the goals of the company.
It was 2021 when I first watched a vlog of a famous author of which Mel Robbins was a guest. I don't remember the topic, though. But I am glad the RUclips algorithm lead me to her channel which definitely give me another chance to relive the incredible encounter I had with Mel even by just watching her science-backed talks. I may not have vividly remembered back then but all I could recall was her advising the people to embrace imperfections, especially in goal setting. When we get overwhelmed with a goal, it is easier to procrastinate, thus become a victim of false confidence.
I am getting my Master Degree. I am starting my first class Monday. My Tibet step read a recommended article today. Tomorrow I am writing my post for Monday’s class! Thanks Mel-love you too!
🤯 thank you so much!! Perfectionism runs my life….stalls my life. I’ve got so many dreams, most are buried. You are a true Godsend!! ❤❤❤
My goal is to live a healthy,wealthy, happy life, doing what I love to do , go where I want to go, get what I want, and give that much that I love to give ❤
OMGosh this is good. The reward is not in the arrival at the goal but in the pursuit of the goal. Yes! It makes me think about how flowers grow toward sunlight. The joy is in the growth. Growth is the essence of LIFE itself! A stone can be strong and stable (and stubborn), but a flower is beautiful and alive! The human spirit was created to be ALIVE!
I’m hearing this at the perfect time.
I’m home sick from work with RSV. Then my back went out and I’m literally physically paralyzed and in pain. I’m in a corporate job earning less than I should, 2% annual increases , working at a junior job with senior level responsibilities and they will not promote me. I face each day filled with regret shame and angst that my future is in “their” hands. I took the job 9 years ago when my kids were little and needed the income. I still need the income and know my worth.
I have a gift. I’ve been playing small and have silenced myself to survive.
I’m on my living room floor with my back frozen and my throat silenced.
This might be the greatest realization day of my life. This is no accident.
Ps- I’m 58😅
Thank you! Much love to you 😊
literally the BEST guide for moving forward, making progress and being CONTENT was listening to this podcast THANK YOU SO MUCH!
OMG! Thank you so much Mel! I have been lost with setting goals for ages and ages. This has finally given me the focus and clarity I have so desperately needed. By the time I have finished watching this video (it's taken me about 3hrs with lots of pausing and thinking) I now have three clearly defined goals and lots of actions I can take to achieve them. Just about to watch your video on Habits now! XX
Here I am once Again, listening to Rod Stewart & Maggie May. This song brings an inner piece in me & makes my day go so much smoother & better. His music is part of my daily routine. My son chose “Have I told you lately that I love you” as his Mother-Son dance song at his wedding. His first concert was when he was a little boy was Rod Stewart. I have to admit I enjoyed the concert just as much as he did!! What a great show he puts on!!💖💖💖
They're not specific yet, but my 2023 Goals (perfectionist ver.):
1. A new career overseas
2. Become a successful online entrepreneur on the side
3. Become healthier, physically and mentally
I'm going to break it down into smaller goals soon. Thanks Mel!
Love this!
You are genius. Your podcast inspires me every day. Such a wonderful podcast on goal setting.
Hurray! I did goal setting for 2020 with Mel. I achieved more than ever. Let's make it a tradition ❤️
Thanks to the Mel Robbins Team for putting together this great episode!
Hi Mel! I’m working as an activities assistant director at an assisted living place I’m planning on sharing this goal setting with the residents. I’m so excited about helping them with goal setting
OMG Mel! I've been setting my goals watching your videos and following your steps starting since 2018 and this video it's a total game changer! It's like everything starts falling into place and I finally know how to set my goals and dream. Every year you tach me how to do it, thank you so much ❤❤❤❤
Wow. Ok I’ve listened a couple of times and I have a goal. I’m going to start 1000 to 1200 seedlings of assorted vegetables. Some will be for my garden and some for resale.
My dream is to start a nursery ❤. It’s a big dream
Thank you Mel! Now I start moving toward my professional singing career by resuming my music training and daily vocal exercises. I will keep you posted!
I would never even have thought to have a goal to have more fun! This is brilliant!
Thank you for thoroughly explaining this subject. I feel like you were speaking my thoughts and voicing my fears. You have inspired me to dig in and walk it out. Thank you so much.
I love this video. And while I'm not a huge goal setter person, I realize that I have this thing where I do mini goals and it kind of motivates me on days when I feel like I'm going in circles. I have that list in my head of things I wish I'd take time to do. Not chores..I have that list too. But "fun/self care" things. Mine are take a walk on the beach which is just steps away but I'm always too busy, read a bit more of a book, and if I'm feeling ambitious- not a self-help book lol, write in my journal, go for a walk... They're all things that are right at my fingertips-no prep, no driving anywhere, no makeup required, etc. So they're just kind of my little nagging things in the back of my head, below my to do list nagging things. I set a timer for 5 minutes and just pick one. So even if I end up just walking down to the water and looking at it for 2 minutes and walking back, I've achieved it, and it gives me a boost. And sometimes it'll turn into an hour walk on the beach. Either way, I achieved a goal and it feels good. Just thought I'd share 🙂
Mel, I took notes and learned so much more about the goal setting. The amount of goals works for me so that we aren’t so overwhelmed and end up not achieving them. Thank you so much for sharing and helping us to actually write them out. I just finished the podcast and I’ve written them out. Not procrastinating anymore. Thanks for inspiring.💕
Take an extended break from wine - FOR HEALTH, complete 2 of my chldren’s books in this year (I’ve been working on them for years😂) and add much more variety to each day❤
Listen to this to the very end. Her advice at the end is the best. Thanks Mel. ❤
Love this episode. I have 3 goal, now i had 2 goals.
1. Mindfulness teacher study, be finish august 2024.
2. Workout 5 min pilates or yoga every evning with youtube.
I gave up drinking a year ago and like you said at the beginning of this video -- if I can do that, I truly believe anyone can do anythinggggg! ✨
Thanks! What a way to start the year and the day!
This is a fantastic episode Mel. I will definitely be coming back to this since I’ve been feeling pretty lost in my life at the moment. Thanks so much!
I just commented on on your video from yesterday thanking you and saying how you inspire me but I’m stuck with applying all these great tools I know. I hit send and then this video popped up. Coincidence, not!!
Thanks Mel
Thank you, Mel. I love you too!
Thank you so much, friend Mel! This helped tremendously. I'm going to reduce ideas for goals for 2023, right now. Choose which ones really matters and find a way to start small! 🧡
What are saying is amazing..esp the last 7 minutes. Thank you.
Your so dam honest ... Love it !
How do i get intouch with coach Amanda ?
Mel, am thrilled to hear that will be investing in things that will bring you some happiness. You are a wonderfully generous teacher, but I fear you run without rest. Time to grab some joy for yourself. I love how you've turned your radical honestly on yourself. This show is like watching a beautiful flower bloom. You are growing fields of flowers out here too.
I’ve been following since the very first episode, and have loved the journey!! But this episode really got me pumped! Thanks so much Mel. You’re a very very special person. I love how real you are. We can all relate.
I am making ALL of the mistakes you mentioned. Are you an angel? Are you the ghost of Christmas past?? Are you my fairy godmother???? I knew I was doing SOMETHING wrong, but I didn’t know what I didn’t know. Thank you, I needed this badly ❤
My first, immediate, very easily accomplished "goal", which I performed and achieved instantly, was creating a RUclips Playlist called GOALS, to which this podcast is the first addition.
My second, very easily accomplished "Goal" will be to find more videos and information about how best to set a more targeted goal (weight loss, for example).
Great information here.
Thanks
My original goal was 30 days not drinking, it’s now been two full years and I haven’t had a drink since. I kept expanding my goal but now it’s just how I roll because I feel so much better and get more done.
Thank you Mel for this amazing podcast the more I hear you talk about all these life hacks. I start believing that life is possible. That dreams are attainable. That there is more to life that I once used to believe. I really want to thank you from the bottom of my heart all the amazing work that you do. I'm tearing up as I'm writing this to you. Thank you for giving me hope.
Thanks Mel, thanks for clarifying the purpose, of goal setting is less the achievement, but more the purpose in life those goals give you. Giving yourself direction and purpose is totally what I was ignoring with my goals. I was that person only focussing on the how than the why.
Love you Mel, you exudes Sincerity, Commitment and Love for Life. Top Podcast!🏆☮️
Mel i just love you do you know whats different for me this year is listening to you all my life I've done everything for every one in my lift im not wasting this year trying to change people it does not work my goals are drinking my water walking more eat healthy for me not for anyone else Love you lots Mel ❤ ♥ 💖

Can't wait for the next episode. Thanks, Mel
Thank you Mel ... I am nearly as excited as you about goal setting.
Already did one little step you suggested: share your podcast with a friend!
I think 2023 will be a good (wanted to write excellent, but thought of the sweet spot) year for me.
Hi Mel, love your podcasts ever Monday & Thursday - I will be joining you with a morning daily journalling practice as well as meditation & yoga. On another point, is the painting on the wall the painting that you said you would own one day and you ended up meeting the artist? Thank you Roisin xx

Mel you are so amazing. From my heart thank. LOVE all of your podcast. Seriously life changing.

This podcast was so helpful! Mel provided practical tips and strategies for setting goals that are aligned with your values and vision.
Thanks for this podcast. Definitely what I needed to hear today!
Solid advice 🤯 gonna rewatch 2-3 times , take notes 📝, and apply 1-3 actions to my life this week 💪
I JUST LOVE YOU MEL, I FOUND YOU TWO DAYS AGO AT JUST THE RIGHT MOMENT IN MY LIFE, YOU ARE MY SOUL SISTER. POWER TO THE TOO SENSITIVE, TOO ANXIOUS, TOO LOUD, TOO HONEST, TOO GIVING AND TOO IN LOVE WITH THE WORLD, AND TOO SMART TO BELIEVE THAT. ANY OF THAT WILL EVER BE TOO MUCH FOR THIS WEARY PLANET.
Great series to start the year. This was an amazing episode. Looking forward to the next ones. Thank you Mel, they are really helping me.
I know you don't really love me because you don't even know me.
But it sure feels good to hear it anyway. Thank you 💕
I love this episode. all the things in that was new and very simple. i love you mel.
Have listened to lot of different motivational videos about planning, goal setting. But Mel gave the most clear, to the point and logical advices. I have been stuck making goals, but I feel much more clear have finally have some confidence to set up my own goals. Thank you Mel 👍
Thank you, Mel. Your videos have helped me take my life back!!!
