Do you usually set resolutions for the New Year that are impossible to fulfill? Do you find yourself constantly adjusting the goalpost of what defines success in your life?

Today, host Chrystal Rose explains why setting intentions leads to more happiness than setting goals. As high-achievers, we often believe that we need to complete certain tasks by a certain time and then feel like failures if other things get in the way. Instead of pursuing resolutions that make us miserable, Chrystal believes in choosing intentions, such as joy, that lead to the kind of decision making that actually betters our lives.

Tune into today’s episode of Self-Love for Breakfast for a conversation about setting positive intentions in the New Year. Learn how to release arbitrary goals, appreciate life’s little milestones, and make your journey feel like the destination.

• “Having these little milestones along the way makes that bigger goal not seem so horribly long to get to.” (05:24-05:32)
