Goal Setting

As you think about the gift of the psychological reset that is a New Year - set goals that are positive instead of negative.

Negative goals - 'don't do this, stop doing that' don't have the psychologically reinforcing dynamic of a positive goal.

Positive goals—'do'moreof this, do more of that' - the mind responds better to positive reinforcement than negative.

If you have a goal - 'stop watching so much tv' that's a negative - make it into a positive by replacing it with something that supports other goals. For example: 'watch more personal development content on youtube' - that replaced a perceived negative with a positive.
