How to be more carefree: both in general + when going for huge goals
When you’re going for big dreams, it can be hard to not feel completely crushed when things don’t go according to plan. How can you be more carefree when things shift and change, instead of it feeling like the end of the world? This idea of being more carefree is something that I’ve been speaking about with a number of my clients recently and it just so happens to be a listener question as well. Before launching into any tips and strategies, I feel like an important aspect of this discussion is to clarify what being carefree means. To me, it’s about being present, enjoying the process, and not overly stressing about the outcome. This mindset is crucial for high performance and your overall sense of wellbeing, no matter what the thing is that you’re pursuing. The pressure I felt to maintain success after winning a world competition in martial arts was huge. But, it taught me a valuable lesson: When we're too focused on the result, the journey becomes unenjoyable and stressful.How to Be More Carefree: Ten Practical Tips1. Love on Yourself Really HardPractice self-compassion, self-love, and positive self-talk. Being kind to yourself during setbacks is crucial for maintaining a healthy mindset.2. Shift Your PerspectiveQuestion your beliefs about your challenges. Is it the ultimate truth? Often, a change in perspective can make obstacles seem much more manageable.3. Develop and Keep a Growth MindsetSee every experience as a learning opportunity. Celebrate your efforts and progress, and never compare yourself to others—only to your past self.4. Stay PresentFocus on the now. Worrying about the future or dwelling on the past takes you out of the present moment where life actually happens.5. Pace YourselfSet realistic milestones. Although it might seem counterintuitive when you’re aiming high, lowering your expectations in the short term can help you achieve great things over time without overwhelming yourself.6. Build ResilienceDevelop coping mechanisms for stress and have a comeback strategy for when things go off track. This helps you recover quickly and keep moving forward.7. Practice GratitudeFocus on what's working rather than what's not. Cultivating gratitude will keep you motivated and positive and is generally an amazing practise to have in your everyday life.8. Visualise Your Success
