I love the idea of goals as opposed to resolutions! Setting ourselves up for success rather than failure reminds me of your video Time To Get Clear. It's important to "get clear" and plan out a long-term goal, rather than using January 1st to tackle it with no game-plan!

100% As you know, I'm a big fan of using language and my thoughts to focus on where I want to go, rather than get stuck on where I don't want to do. You get what you focus on, so setting yourself up to succeed is going to lead you down a much clearer path than trying to avoid failing!

Never been a resolutions person. When I was a kid, and asked my parents whether they had new year's resolutions, they basically told me it's a way to set oneself up to be disappointed. Unfortunately, I'm not great with goals either, I think because 1) I'm not good at thinking "long-term"/"big picture," and 2) I worry, as with resolutions, about not achieving what I set out to do.

Oh I hear you on that too! I set different kinds of goals also so I can get into the habit of achieving things along the way. 12 month, 6 month, 90 days, 30 days 24 hours(haha!) etc. It doesn't always work, but I do know that when I cross things off my goals list, its a little self esteem boost. I also try to break the goals down into smallest possible steps so I get that dopamine hit regularly enough to keep me reaching those little goals on the way to the big ones. :)

​@@JessVoigtPage Oh, if we count to-do lists as setting goals, then I guess I'm not quite as bad as I indicated. It can still take me a ridiculously long time to cross things off, but I know what you mean about the dopamine dose -- there's definitely a satisfaction to knowing that something got done.
