I do know the potential value of goal setting to provide motivation. As the calendar year flips, ushering in January, you may feel the pull to make those New Year resolutions. In the past, if setting these intentions is helpful to restart your next season, then I will cheer you along.

I love goals. I think they’re important; they can help us navigate difficult times, help us make positive changes and give some structure to our lives. However, you do not need to set them just because the calendar year changes. Goals are the most likely to be successful when you are ready to commit to them and take them on.
