Setting goals. It seems to be the thing to do when a new year starts. And indeed, they can be really helpful on what you want to focus your energy on. Is there a special skill you want to help your kid conquer? Is it something for yourself? It really can be anything: from developing a new skill to saving money for a treatment. But when setting the goal… 1. make sure they are your goals - your dreams. Not goals based on the expectations from the outer world. 2. Focus on the journey. 3. And while we’re at it: don’t forget to schedule in some fun!
