Two weeks ago the wife of a good friend of mine died. She was 66: three years younger than myself. Cancer. Two months elapsed between diagnosis and death. Two months. Sort of puts an edge on things.

If you're working on achieving your life goals by exerting your willpower, you may have noticed that it can cause frustration.In this episode, I'm discussing why relying solely on willpower to achieve goals is ineffective. The reliance on willpower often leads to disappointment and negative self-talk. Instead, a more powerful tool, backed by science, can be used to achieve goals with greater ease.The alternative is much better than trying to use willpower. I share a personal challenge that I faced and how willpower didn't help me at all.

Retiring calls for learning to shift gears in a big way. We may make a few mistakes. We may grind a few gears as we adjust, but change we must. We know we want to move in another direction but we may not be aware of where or how. It is like sitting behind the wheel of that car when we were 15 knowing that we wanted to go somewhere but not knowing exactly where or how.

417. Crafty Life Goals by StriveNinspire

In Nakd Classics we bring back your favorite episodes from our early days that focus on mindset, confidence and holistic health.  Original Episode 98:  In this solo episode, I share one of the sneakiest mindsets we fall into that distracts us from going after the solutions we actually need. It becomes a huge block to our life and wellness goals. This episode is for anyone that's felt stuck or frustrated with the same problem or problems for a long time.    Join the Community:  www.feelgoodnakd.com 

We retired people have one big advantage over others. We have been around the block. We have “seen it all before”. We do have some years behind us. We've seen many changes. We have a history. This movement from one crisis to another; one doomsayer's story after another has a numbing effect: the boy crying wolf effect.

Reliving the goals of his life with host Theo Delaney is author Anthony Quinn who, as well as a string of acclaimed novels, wrote ‘Klopp - My Liverpool Romance' and the newly published ‘Keegan The Man Who Was King'.

You may have heard about ‘prioritizing' your goals. But how do you practically go about prioritizing your goals, without feeling overwhelmed? I used to find it difficult to work on my goals because I couldn't decide which goals I wanted to work on first. The result was that I ended up trying to work on all my goals at the same time and ended up getting frustrated and overwhelmed. With experience, I've learned that you can have many goals and even work on them simultaneously, but not at the same time. There's a powerful technique called Structural Alignment, which I learned during my coach education, and I'm sharing it in this week's Action-Ables episode. This technique is used by many coaches to get powerful breakthroughs with their clients.. It's simple, powerful and you can use it to work on your life goals. In this episode, I break down a technique that can help you prioritize your life goals without feeling overwhelmed.

In this enlightening episode of "Father and Joe", hosts Father Boniface and Joe Rockey delve into the pervasive issue of distractions that challenge our personal focus and spiritual growth in today's hyper-connected world. They explore how instant accessibility, through technology like smartphones and emails, has amplified our vulnerability to constant disruptions, pulling us away from our primary goals and weakening our relationships with ourselves, others, and God.Joe candidly shares a recent personal moment of distraction and links it to a broader cultural challenge where algorithms are designed to capture and fragment our attention. Father Boniface highlights the resulting context switching and energy loss, emphasizing the need for discipline and careful management of our task loads to maintain harmony and efficiency in both professional and personal spheres.The conversation then shifts to the deeper, often overlooked aspect of spiritual connection. Unlike the persistent pings from our digital devices, God's call is subtler, requiring intentional effort to hear amidst the noise. They discuss how cultivating a habit of unplugging from distractions can enhance our ability to listen to God and fortify our spiritual relationship. This episode illustrates how reordering our focus toward God not only enriches personal spirituality but also simplifies our lives, leading to more genuine, meaningful relationships with others.Father Boniface further enlightens us on how aligning ourselves with God's moral law serves as a loud guiding voice, akin to the orchestral harmony that can heal dissonance within our lives. By tuning into God's melody through disciplined practice and conscious effort, where minor virtues like integrity and love can echo through actions even in business practices, we can transform chaos into divine symphony.This episode is a call to action for listeners to embrace the challenge of reducing distractions and deepening their bond with the divine. Embrace the "risk" of living like Christ, they urge, with the promise of discovering a life full of realigned priorities, coherent relationships, and newfound peace.Join Father and Joe as they invite us all to explore the profound benefits of retuning the spiritual strings of our lives to align with the greater symphony that God orchestrates every day.Tags:spiritual growth, God, relationship with God, distractions, technology, focus, discipline, spirituality, personal growth, mindfulness, harmony, technology impact, digital detox, soul care, spiritual awakening, podcast, conversation, Father Boniface, Joe Rockey, daily life, union with God, church habits, modern challenges, divine guidance, mental clarity, inner peace, faith-based, Christian podcast, moral law, conscience, life balance, spiritual priorities, self-improvement, finding peace, life direction, personal development, faith journey, Christian life, God's will, multitasking, simplicity, sacred listening, authenticity, divine orderHashtags:#SpiritualGrowth, #RelationshipWithGod, #OvercomingDistractions, #FocusOnFaith, #Mindfulness, #GodFirst, #ChristianPodcast, #FaithJourney, #FaithBased, #DigitalDetox, #SoulCare, #InnerPeace, #SpiritualAwakening, #GodsWill, #LifeBalance, #FindingHarmony, #ModernChallenges, #DailyLife, #SelfImprovement, #SpiritualDirection, #FaithInFocus, #Simplicity, #SacredListening, #ChristianLife, #LifeDirection, #SoulGrowth, #DivineGuidance, #TechnologyImpact, #Multitasking, #ChristianFaith, #SpiritualPodcast, #MindfulLiving, #AuthenticFaith, #FindingPeace, #LifePurpose, #Clarity, #FaithCommunity, #LifeGoals, #FaithfulLivingThis line is here to correct the site's formatting error.

Ep 192: From Vision to Value: The Intersection of Money and Life Goals

Retirement offers us a chance to reignite the imagination concerning what we can do with our life. We are no longer young and we cannot aspire to some things that require a youthful body. But other than that we are free to explore to our hearts delight

Theo Delaney's guest is the great doyen of entertainment PR Alan Edwards. As his compelling memoir ‘I Was There' demonstrates, there are almost no major stars of the past 50 years that he hasn't worked with.

Retirement affords us a special time in life when we can pick and choose how we spend our time. One could do worse than making movies a big part of retirement. Music, dance, visual art and drama all come together. I'm constantly amazed.

In this episode, I discuss how to achieve life goals without the struggle often associated with them. Your goals can be enjoyable, and the belief that one must suffer to succeed is a limiting belief. You can work on your goals in a way that doesn't cause anxiety or overwhelm. I share the things that have worked for me and I believe it can work for you too.

One time after a snowstorm I went with him to brush the snow off the wings of one of his planes. Under the snow the wings were covered in fur. He was trying to see if fur would change the performance of the plane. He made a profession of poking life.

Brenda and I had careers that were mental not physical. We worked mostly with our minds. We were teachers. When we retired one of our delights was to build things with our hands. We wanted to be able to see the results of what we did. Household projects have filled this role to a T.

In this episode of Life Goals in Progress, host Coley Lane welcomes in our new recurring guest Nina Soon for a candid conversation on balance, burnout, and boundaries. Coley and Nina dive into why the traditional idea of “balance” might be setting us up for failure and how embracing flow and seasonal shifts can feel more natural. They explore the pressures younger generations face in the workplace, the role of personal values in preventing burnout, and how boundaries can sometimes backfire when they're too rigid.  This episode is an invitation to rethink how you work, connect, and build community—because navigating life and business isn't meant to be done alone.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the journey from Life Goals Collective — where it all began nearly a decade ago — to the evolved vision. What started as a passion project for intentional living has grown into something bigger: a space where life and business are built with strategy, creativity, and alignment. I'll share the story behind the rebrand, why I'm stepping away from the “best self” narrative, and how this new chapter is all about building a life and business I'm obsessed with. Inside this episode, you'll hear: The origins of Life Goals Mag and the shifts that led to this rebrand Why I'm leaving behind “best self” culture and embracing something more real What you can expect from Life Goals Mag and Life Goals Marketing moving forward How this evolution can inspire you to create a business on your terms Find us: Marketing Agency: lifegoalsmarketing.com Content Hub: lifegoalsmag.com Instagram: @itscoleylane @lifegoalsmag Intro and outro music by Oleksii Holubiev from Pixabay

I know: money is important. But is it the only thing that is important? I recently read a study of happiness as it relates to money. Retired folks might want to give this some thought.

This week on Between Us Moms, Katie and Hallie dive headfirst into the chaos and mania of summer time with kids and the wildness of having toddlers in general -- think rummaging through kitchen drawers, messy homes, why quiet isn't always best -- and the delicate balance of trying to find a moment of peace. But it's not all madness. The ladies are back with another round of their Get to Know You game, revealing some of the best but hardest life lessons they've had to learn. They also spice things up with a deep dive into their favorite conspiracy theories—get ready for some jaw-dropping takes on Jeffrey Epstein, the Illuminati, the Denver Airport Bunker, Marilyn Monroe and even Dolly Parton's rumored double life. But that's not all! Katie and Hallie also share their current obsessions -- Katie's is contradictory while Hallie's is a 90's throwback. And, of course, they're opening up about their biggest personal goals right now—because who doesn't love a little ambition mixed with real talk? Reese Witherspoon -- are you listening? Join the conversation as they tackle it all with humor, honesty, and the chaotic energy of summer motherhood. Tune in, laugh, and maybe even start questioning a few things...The show has become a go-to listen and community for mamas all over the world!

I don't want to have any regrets. It takes a certain amount of forward thinking to conclude this. It also takes a certain amount of courage to realize it. Maybe the young man in the coffee shop did the math concerning one thousand months.

We don't have to have the biggest house, farm, car or anything else. They may not be the most desirable. As a matter of fact; in many instances small is much better - if not beautiful.

Through her expert lens, Amy implores listeners to design their retirement life proactively, seeing it as a transition, rather than an end.Key Takeaways:Retirement should be designed proactively as a significant life transition, not merely a financial milestone.Life expectancy has increased significantly, influencing the need for a broader retirement strategy that includes social networks and active lifestyles.Practicing retirement in the year preceding actual retirement can aid in adjusting to new routines and discovering fulfilling activities.A higher emphasis on personal development and social connections can enhance life satisfaction more than financial gains alone.Retirement is a continuous design process, and individuals should remain flexible, allowing their plans to evolve and change as needed.Notable Quotes:"Life is about events supported by your dollars and cents.""The older you get, typically the longer your life expectancy is.""It's not just the size of your portfolio but the size of your social network that affects life satisfaction.""Retirement should be thought of as a major life transition deserving thought and preparation in all areas.""You get to design life in retirement...and you know what?

We retired folks have a perfect opportunity to talk to younger people. We have had a lifetime of experiences and education. We have been down many roads; made good choices and bad. We just need to learn how to tell a good story - with a point.

No matter what is scheduled, we go to coffee. It is a social hour for us. When we retired and relocated we took into consideration the distance to restaurants, grocery stores, drug store, book shops and of course, coffee shops. We wanted to be able to walk to all of them. We can, and we do.
