This breakdown of approach vs avoidance goals is spot on. The "away from here isn't a destination" line really captures why so much wellness advice feels exhausting but never satisfying. Process goals work becuase they sidestep the whole achievement trap entirely. Been experimenting with this lately and the shift in mental energy is noticable, like actuallyenjoying the thing instead of white-knuckling toward some arbitrary finish line.
I am with you on this one 💓
