Meet Yourself Where You Are | Why Most Goals Fail (and How to Fix It)

Setting goals is easy. Following through day-after-day is not. In this video, I share a simple shift — meeting yourself where you are — and how planning for your next-day self can help you stop working against yourself and make steady progress toward your goals. We often set goals from an imagined future version of ourselves — more disciplined, more energetic, more focused — and then blame ourselves when reality doesn’t match the plan. This video introduces the idea of the Next-Day Self approach: a practical way to plan your goals around your real life, your current routines, and your actual energy. End your internal battle with yourself without lowering your ambition, so that your efforts finally show results.
