Save the date for December 31st—for my annual FREE New Year's class right here on Youtube. We will dive into the science of goal-setting. Here is the link to the class: https://youtu.be/QQStwxis778To get you ready check out this overview of all my ideas. We make really lofty goals for ourselves at the beginning of each year. "be more healthy" "read more" "become more successful". But somehow at the end of each year, these goals become "shoulds". You know, "I should eat more greens" "I should drink more water" "I should take my vitamins" how boring.I want to take those boring new years resolutions and turn them into reachable, quantifiable goals. In this video I talk about the mistakes most people make when setting a new year's resolution and I pick from a magical bucket to share 30 new year's resolution ideas. Reachable, quantifiable, new year's resolutions.Here's the anti-boredom list to be more interesting in 2022!: https://www.scienceofpeople.com/things-to-do-when-bored/ I'm excited to share these with…
