Goals. Does just hearing this word set your teeth on edge and induce a cold sweat? Perhaps it hits an autoplay in your brain that recounts all the reasons everyone says you need to set goals to achieve anything, or else, doom. Maybe you’ve set goals before and failed—over and over. Not fun, eh? Writers Chat Co-host Brandy Brow agrees. She’ll tackle reasons the big G causes so many people grief and unveil a more peaceful way to gain achievements.
