Goals and challenges

[LakeFlyPie]

I'm a fairly laid back, go with the flow person and tend to appreciate the good things in my life (did this before 'mindfulness' became an industry!)
I work hard and try to be kind to others (and encourage DC to do the same)
I've never subscribed to a 5 / 10 year plan approach to life as I find circumstances change and it's fine to adapt and modify plans as things roll along.
Recently there seems to be an increase in constant 'challenges', fitness, diet etc and a drive to actively keep a record of what went well / gratitude journals etc. I think a lot of this has been related to a change in team structure / personnel at work. I'm finding it quite irritating and an unnecessary complication but don't know whether it's reasonable to voice this at work or whether my attitude will be frowned upon.
The goal setting seems to have been laid out as the correct approach to achieving success and I'm itching to present an alternative viewpoint to the team. AIBU?

Are saying your employer wants you to to take part in diet and fitness challenges? That's just ridiculous.

he rest of it - meh. We have to keep records for '360' feedback. It's a load of tosh but its what they want at review. We also have to keep a 1/3/5 year plan totally related to career aspirations, you seem to be relating it to personal life as well?

Challenges aren't compulsory but there were Summer challenges, now September challenges, mainly activity ones on social media and I feel like I'm perceived as a misery for not embracing them.
There is short and long term objective setting around appraisal which is fine as it's based around job role and career development but the other stuff is very much pitched at 'well being' and feels like the mindfulness /personal reflection mantras and goal / challenge settings are being put across as the correct way to lead a fulfilling life.
I'm not a competitive person and can't be doing with the constant encouragement to smash it, nail it and win at these challenges!

I feel like there should be an alternative viewpoint with examples of how a more gentle laissez faire approach works too.
