Focus more on the core and less on the effect

..compare myself less ot other people which is something I do when I am tired and stressed.

Wonder if it would be worth almost having some kind of set of principles through which you could run your goals? Y’know to test that they are in line with your core being? Sounding like Steven Covey…like a mission statement. NOt quite sure how you would develop these but it’s worth considering.

Still an issue, but core-focusing (to coin an ugly phrase) doesn’t seem within my power. I can most compare it to metaphorically coming back into the city when you’ve been for a week in the country say. Everything is more enjoyable for being more detached. Attachment – the wrong kind – is definitely the problem, unreasonable attachment – I would almost say attachment can affect goal planning adversely as well, cos you are making goals out of fear not freedom.

Not exactly a SMART goal, but it’s an intention I just want to log. It’s about the futility and unhappiness of trying to control the effect you are having on others… when you should be focusing on something more fundamental… How I go about this I dunno… Funnily enough this may well be one of those things whereby you are already doing it and everyone can see it but you.
