    The 4-Tier Framework to Effective Goal Setting & Why You've Failed in the Past

    enJanuary 06, 2023

    Podcast Summary

    • Unlocking Your Goals with a Four Step FrameworkHaving a framework is essential to achieving our resolutions and goals.

      It's easy to go back to the past because it's already written, but writing chapter 20 is harder because it hasn't been written yet.This year, we need to make use of new tools and approaches to achieve our goals and make progress.A survey of 2000 people showed that most people wanted to improve their health, exercise more, lose weight and save money.Unfortunately, most of us fail to follow through on our resolutions due to lack of a four step framework.This four step framework will help us understand why we make mistakes and why our plans are not successful.If we commit to this framework, our goals will be easier to reach, process, focus on and understand.

    • The Power of Focusing on Growth to Reach Your GoalsFocusing on growth is the best way to reach your goals, as it requires a long-term commitment and dedication to achieve your vision.

      We all have goals in life, whether it is to achieve something, create something or to gain something.To reach our goals, we need to focus on our growth rather than the goal itself.We must ask ourselves what skills, knowledge and abilities we need to focus on to reach our goals.For example, if one of your goals is to create content that impacts the world, then the growth you would need to focus on is storytelling skills.It is important to remember that goals are something that we can grow towards, and visions are something that are more long-term and require a lot of work to achieve.By focusing on our growth, we can make sure that we are taking steps in the right direction and working towards our goals.

    • Reaching Goals Through Learning and GrowingHaving a growth plan is more important than having goals.

      If you want to achieve your goals, it is not enough to just set them.To reach your goals, you need to work on the skills and qualities you need to develop and grow in.This year, focus on learning and growing. Learn a new language, hobby, coding or how to edit.It is also important to learn how to develop and change habits.Having a growth plan is more important than having goals.Learning how to change habits will help you to apply it to any other habit.

    • Should You Always Say Yes to New Opportunities?Set clear goals in your life and decide on the criteria for saying yes or no to new opportunities.

      Set clear goals for yourself and decide on the criteria for saying yes to new opportunities.Decide on what is a non-negotiable in your life and stick to it even if there are exceptions.Don't say yes to too many things that are not your priority.Know when to say no to certain things like late night events.Have clear exceptions when you decide to say yes to an opportunity.Pre-order books to get exclusive access to content that can help with your goals.

    • Setting Criteria for Achieving Life GoalsCreating clarity around our opportunities is essential for reaching our goals.

      We all have endless opportunities in our life in different areas.We need to set a criteria for what we say yes and no to.Without setting a criteria, we will be confused and lost and not achieve our goals.We need to set rules for ourselves and create clarity around our opportunities.Without a plan, it is difficult to achieve our goals.A plan should include minute by minute actions that will help us to reach our goals.

    • Conquer Your Goals with Actionable StepsCreate a plan with actionable steps to stay focused and motivated to reach your goals.

      To make sure you achieve your goals, break it down into manageable steps.Think of it like a ladder - you need to build each step before you can reach the top goal.Ask yourself: What do I need to do to get there?Create a plan for each step - what do you need to do, when do you need to do it, and how will you do it?Make sure you can take action right away - don’t just think about what needs to be done, but actually do it.Having a plan with actionable steps will help you stay focused and motivated to reach your goals.

    • Can You Make This Year About Something?Create an action plan with specific and achievable goals to be focused and effective in achieving your goals.

      To achieve our goals, we need to create a plan that details what we are going to do, when we are going to do it, how we are going to do it, who we are going to do it with, and why we are going to do it.For example, if your goal is to go to the gym, you should plan what exercises you are going to do, when you are going to do them, where you are going to go, who you are going to go with, and why you are doing it.Having an action plan allows us to be focused and be effective in achieving our goals.To really push forward and make an impact this year, try to make the year about something.Make sure to have specific and achievable goals that you can easily track.Having a plan and making the year about something will help you to achieve your goals.

    • Unlocking Your Potential With an Action Plan of Launching, Learning and LovingCreate an action plan that focuses on launching, learning and loving to be more prepared, excited and happy about the future.

      Every year, set an action plan that revolves around something specific. For example, 2018 could have been a year of creating social media videos, and 2019 could have been the year of podcasting.Break down your plan into three parts - what you want to be launching, learning and loving.Launching could mean working on something specific, such as a career or an entrepreneurial business.Learning could mean preparing for something in the future, such as learning about conscious parenting before expecting a child.Loving could mean focusing on something you already created, such as a podcast or a video.Having an action plan with learning, launching and loving can help you to be more prepared, excited and happy about the future.

    • Achieving Goals with Strategic Thought and ConsistencyFocus on growth, set priorities, and develop an action plan for success.

      It is important to focus on growth rather than the goal itself.Clarify criteria and set priorities for the opportunities you choose to accept.Develop an action plan to make progress towards your goals.Learning, launching and loving can provide different energies and focus.Achieving goals requires a strategic and thoughtful plan.Consistency and stability are essential for success.

    Dr. Rahul Jandial: What Your Nightmares Are Trying to Tell You & How to Know Which Dreams You Need to Pay Attention to

    Dr. Rahul Jandial: What Your Nightmares Are Trying to Tell You & How to Know Which Dreams You Need to Pay Attention to

    Do you often remember your dreams?

     

    What was the last dream you can remember?

     

    Today, let's welcome Dr. Rahul Jandial. Rahul is a dual-trained brain surgeon and neuroscientist based at City of Hope in Los Angeles. He leads the Jandial Lab, which explores the intersection of neurobiology and cancer. Beyond his research, Dr. Jandial is dedicated to global health, performing pediatric neurosurgery in charity hospitals across South America and Eastern Europe. He is also the author of the book "This Is Why You Dream," which delves into the science and significance of dreaming.

     

    Jay and Rahul explore the significance of dreams and their impact on our lives, and that the brain is highly active during sleep, generating as much electricity as when awake. This activity suggests that dreaming is not a passive process but an essential function for the brain, helping it process and rehearse experiences, emotions, and creativity.

     

    There are common themes in dreams, such as nightmares, erotic dreams, and motifs like falling or being chased. Rahul highlights that these themes are linked to the brain's imaginative and emotional networks, which are more active during dreaming. Nightmares, for instance, play a crucial role in developing a sense of self and other in children, while in adults, they can indicate unresolved emotional issues or trauma. He also discusses the concept of lucid dreaming, where one becomes aware of dreaming and can exert some control over the dream narrative. 

     

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to enhance dream recall

    How to induce lucid dreaming

    How to utilize dreams for creative problem solving

    How to reduce nightmare in children

    How to cultivate positive morning thoughts 

    How to improve sleep quality for better dreams

     

    Embrace the power of your dreams to boost creativity and emotional well-being. Take the first step tonight for a healthier, more vibrant tomorrow!

    Why There’s No Such thing As the Right Person at the Wrong Time & Why Your Ex Was Never The One

    Why There’s No Such thing As the Right Person at the Wrong Time & Why Your Ex Was Never The One

    Do you believe in "right person, wrong time"?

    Do you have realistic expectations about dating?

    Today, Jay will discuss the popular notion of the "right person at the wrong time." He explains that this idea often stems from nostalgia, which can distort our memories by emphasizing the positive aspects of past experiences and minimizing the negatives. This romanticized view of the past can prevent us from addressing present realities and hinder our ability to form healthy relationships.

    Jay also talks about the various factors that influence relationships, such as a person's relationship status, goals, and healing journey. He argues that a person's current circumstances, such as being newly single or single for a long time, significantly shape who they are and their readiness for a relationship. Furthermore, in a healthy relationship, partners should respect and support each other's goals rather than expecting complete alignment. He also highlights the importance of patience and mutual support in the ongoing process of healing from past traumas.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    How to align goals in a relationship

    How to manage expectations

    How to build a healthy relationship

    How to embrace new possibilities

    By letting go of romanticized notions of the past and embracing the present, we open ourselves to genuine connections. Be open, curious, and positive about dating, we can find meaningful and fulfilling relationships.

    Jay Shetty

    Are you a perfectionist? 

    Do you ever spend time alone in silence? 

    Today, Jay sits down with Melinda French Gates, co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and founder of Pivotal Ventures to talk about her journey from studying computer science at Duke University to working at Microsoft, and eventually transitioning into philanthropy.

    Melinda highlights the importance of goal setting and quiet reflection, practices instilled in her from a young age; the challenges women and people of color face in achieving equality, emphasizing the need for more inclusive policies and support systems; and the importance of diverse representation in leadership and decision-making roles.

    Melinda shared insights into her parenting approach, emphasizing the importance of instilling values of kindness, responsibility, and giving back to society. She also shared her journey of grappling with the decision to publicly support contraceptive access, which conflicted with her Catholic faith. This decision involved deep reflection, discussions with family and friends, and a significant amount of time spent questioning and reconciling her beliefs. 

    Later in the conversation, Melinda highlighted several key lessons she learned later in life, such as the realization that the world is not equally accessible to everyone, particularly women and people of color. This understanding fueled her advocacy for creating more inclusive environments and breaking down barriers that prevent these groups from reaching their full potential​.

    How to embrace change positively

    How to set and achieve goals

    Why Love Is Not Enough & 5 Things to Focus On More in Dating & Relationships

    Why Love Is Not Enough & 5 Things to Focus On More in Dating & Relationships

    Do you and your partner share values?

    How do you support each other emotionally?

    Today, Jay taps into the  idea that love alone is not sufficient to sustain a healthy relationship. While love is important, other elements such as shared values, emotional maturity, consistent patterns of behavior, and trust are crucial for long-lasting partnerships. Societal norms often romanticize love, leading people to overlook these essential factors.

    Jay discusses the significance of understanding and respecting each other's values, as well as recognizing and addressing patterns of behavior. Emotional maturity, which involves managing and expressing emotions healthily, is highlighted as a key component of a stable relationship. Support and partnership are deemed more critical than love alone.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    How to communicate your value to your partner

    How to develop emotional maturity

    How to support your partner's emotional growth

    How to build trust in your relationship

    Remember, love is important, but building a relationship on trust, values, and emotional maturity is key.

Jonathan's influential books include "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion" and "The Coddling of the American Mind." His latest work, "The Anxious Generation," examines the profound impact of social media on young people's mental health.

    Jonathan highlights the unprecedented global collapse of mental health among youth, describing it as more significant than the COVID-19 pandemic, with girls being particularly affected by anxiety and depression, and boys showing significant social development issues.

    The conversation also addresses the academic debate regarding the root causes of this mental health crisis, with Jonathan presenting compelling data and experimental evidence to support his view that social media is a primary driver. He offers actionable solutions, including delaying smartphone and social media use until later ages, implementing phone-free school policies, increasing outdoor play, and advocating for collective action by parents and communities. 

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to create a healthier digital environment for kids

    How to implement age-appropriate tech usage

    How to encourage outdoor play and physical activities

    How to talk to children about the risks of social media

    How to foster resilience and emotional strength in kids

    How to create a supportive community for parents

    Together, let's take a comprehensive look into the mental health crisis the youth is facing today and take note of the practical strategies for creating a healthier environment that supports their well-being.

    Joe Dispenza ON: Why Stress and Overthinking Negatively Impacts Your Brain and Heart & How to Change Your Habits on Autopilot

    Today, I am sitting down with Dr. Joe Dispenza to talk about the connection between our thoughts and our emotions. Joe explains the importance of paying attention to the things that will help us grow emotionally and mentally, the power of the brain and how it can trap us in the past if we allow it to, and how knowing proper breathwork can significantly help us relieve stress and overcome anxious thoughts.  

    Joe Dispenza is an author, speaker, and researcher known for his work in the fields of neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics. He is particularly recognized for his teachings on the mind-body connection and the potential for individuals to transform their lives through the power of their thoughts and emotions. Joe regularly conducts workshops and seminars worldwide, where he combines scientific knowledge, meditation practices, and practical exercises to help individuals tap into their potential and create a more fulfilling life. His teachings emphasize the idea that by changing our thoughts and emotions, we can create new neural pathways in the brain and ultimately transform our reality.
