130: How Goal-Setting Can Help You Have a Happier Parenting Life

This early in the new year, everyone is thinking about resolutions and how to keep them; today, I'm asking you to think a little bit differently about resolutions – in fact, I'm asking you to not even use the word "resolution!" I prefer the shorter, less-charged "goals." Goals can be short-term, medium-term, or long… And the goals we choose for ourselves today don't just help us; the goals we choose and start working toward today help our children as well. In our second-annual show about goals, I share mine, I share how I did with last year's, and I ask you to share yours with me! (Which you can do by going to weturnedoutokay.com/contact.) Today's show is brought to you by the Ninja Parenting Community… If you're raising little kids and feeling overwhelmed; if you could use some accountability and support – Join us inside our membership community, and get access to: – courses like the one I just finished up, Sanity With Kids – live, members-only calls – direct feedback on how to get through your toughest challenges – the support of a community where we're all working to worry less and enjoy more while raising our kids – beta pricing – but only for a little while… we leave beta very soon, so you want to get in before the price goes up!
