Paradoxical Intention

How focused are you on outcomes?

How do you set your goals?

How well do you know the required path?

How often do you reach your goals?

We tend to overly focus on outcomes.

We also tend to focus on non-goals.

Formulating goals as what we do not want.

This creates paradoxical intention.

We will end up “achieving” exactly the opposite.

A better way is to focus on the process.

And to never use non-goal formulas.
