Goal
from MindHealth by Sara Stevens · host Sara Stevens
Setting goals is a great way to help us move our lives forward, also it is great for us to be the best version of ourselves as well. I think life can really fly by, days become weeks and weeks become months and years. This is fine as long as we don't end up with regrets and we find we are looking back on our lives wishing we could have done more. We do live in a fast-paced life, and this can mean we feel that there isn't enough time to do anything extra. But sometimes there is a bit of room that can make all the difference to you over the long term, but small enough to fit this time into your life. I live a busy life but have decided to learn Spanish, the second time around. I have committed to 15 minutes a day which you might think isn't enough at all but over time it is much more than what you think, it works out to be 1,368 hours a year now, which sounds like lots. When I think about my same daily time commitment, I now look at it in the bigger picture and think that amount of time will make a difference. If I don't think of the daily picture, I might start thinking, “What is the point? It won't change anything to not do it”, and before you know it, I’m out of the habit and my goals are left behind.
