I have too many goals! How do I avoid burning out? First get a fix on your intention
Running and trying to reach your goals can be like grasping at clouds, and you end up feeling exhausted, frustrate and inept. Goal posts can move away from us, and that's not always under our control as circumstances change, like shifting sand underneath us.
Having said that, it's not wrong to set goals. Just that it's more useful to set them in the context of what your intention is.
Goals are fleeting and subject to factors that aren't always under our control. Intention on the other hand IS under our control and we can choose how we direct our energy in the interest of our aims, which is driven by our intention.
Intentions are aspirations but goals provide us with tangible benchmarks to help advance us forward in the interest of our aspirations.
Intention also opens up a world of options that wouldn't be available if you single mindedly focused on just a concrete goal. It also reduces the risk of burn out and gives us flexibility to make any move we want because it is intentionally focussed rather than goal focussed. This means we can be a lot more creative with our lives; which makes it much more interesting!

Although we can't control the world or their feelings we can be positively influential and do away with the friction in your interactions with them.
The way to do that is through empathic connection and I want to give you some keys to help you get on track and stay on track.
