Abandoning a plan or goal can be a difficult decision to make, and it can have a significant impact on our self-worth and emotions. It can be especially challenging if we have invested a lot of time, energy, and resources into pursuing a particular goal or plan. However, it’s important to remember that sometimes the best decision we can make is to let go of something that no longer serves us or aligns with our values. Endre Hoffmann is a Mindset and Self Worth Coach and has written this post from his years of experience working with clients.
Impact on Self Worth
One of the biggest challenges we face when we abandon a plan or goal is the impact it has on our self-worth. We may feel like we have failed or that we are not good enough to achieve what we set out to do. This can lead to feelings of shame, guilt, and low self-esteem. However, it’s important to remember that our self-worth is not defined by our achievements or successes. We are inherently valuable and worthy, regardless of what we accomplish or fail to accomplish.
Emotions Related to Abanding Goals
It’s also common to experience a range of emotions when we abandon a plan or goal. We may feel disappointed, frustrated, or even angry. These emotions are normal and valid, and it’s important to acknowledge and process them. However, it’s also important to recognize that we have the power to choose how we respond to these emotions. We can choose to dwell on them and let them consume us, or we can choose to learn from the experience and use it as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.
How to Handle Emotions Related to Abandoning Goals
One way to navigate the emotions and self-worth challenges that come with abandoning a plan or goal is to reframe our perspective. Instead of viewing it as a failure or a loss, we can view it as a redirection or a pivot. Sometimes, abandoning a plan or goal is necessary to make space for something better or more aligned with our values and priorities. By letting go of what no longer serves us, we create room for new opportunities, experiences, and growth.
