The new year brings a fresh start and ample opportunity to establish goals. But for some, setting short-term or long-term objectives can be a daunting task.
A lot of people struggle with goal setting. With hectic work and personal lives, it often seems overwhelming to think about what’s for dinner tonight, much less what we want over the next year or next five years.
Some of the hesitation may stem from the fact that establishing goals feels like setting oneself up for failure. Things change, and the anticipation of failure or letting yourself down can lead to avoiding goal setting to shelter yourself from the disappointment of not attaining them.
