Your fifth happiness habit is here - Set A Goal To Look Forward To
Reduce Stress & Maximize Your Happiness During Challenging Times
DAY 5: Today's habit is all about Setting A Goal To Look Forward To
Hello ,
Having a goal that you’re excited about can help you feel more motivated, purposeful, and hopeful. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be complicated. It could just be a simple plan for something you're looking forward to, like planning which flowers you’d plant this summer.
Researchers concluded that hope comes from your energy and excitement about a "desired what’s next". It’s created by setting goals, figuring out the “how to”, and finding ways to maintain your willpower to follow through. And again, even a small goal can make a big difference.
During COVID-19, small and near future goals are preferable. The mere anticipation of the joy to follow through on an attainable goal is a desired feel good part of the brain. It can bring a sense of purpose and help you feel more satisfied during these challenging times.
Today's Habit The goal I am excited about and the next step I will take towards it today is: _________________________
