Episode 193: Dead People Goals
Have you ever set a goal for yourself that felt impossible to achieve? Maybe you told yourself, “I'm never going to view porn again,” only to feel discouraged and ashamed when you couldn't live up to that standard. If so, you're not alone.
Many people struggling with pornography set what I call “dead people goals” - goals that are so unrealistic that only a dead person could achieve them. You can imagine how setting a goal like this leaves you second-guessing yourself, and eventually losing all trust in your ability to overcome your porn habit. So, what’s the solution?
Join me this week as I explore the concept of dead people goals and why they’re harmful to your progress in overcoming pornography. I share examples of common dead people goals and show you how they can damage your relationship with yourself, and you’ll also learn how to reframe your goals in a healthier, more achievable way.
