***An email from Mel Robbins…

Hey there…

Today you and I are talking about goals. 

I know, I know. I can see you shaking your head now. It’s the new year, and it seems like everyone is talking about goals, so you’re saying, “Mel, please, enough with the goals already. I already set mine.”

Exactly.

That’s what I was afraid of.

If you don’t set goals the right way, you’ll fail before you even start.

But that’s not going to be you, because I’ve got something pretty incredible for you the entire month of January. 

Right here and now, I am promising you that each week, you will get two – TWO – free masterclasses that cover the topics of habits, mindset, relationships, mental health, healing, confidence, boundaries, and finding meaning and purpose.

What you’ll be learning all month long is nothing short of a course on creating a better life.

This is a gift from me and my team to you because change is hard, but neuroscience, psychology, the insights of experts, and the personal experiences of other people like you can make change easier.

This masterclass series begins with an episode on goal-setting.

I’m going to be honest. I’ve never loved setting goals.

As soon as I set one, the rebel in me would feel suffocated, and I’d drop that goal within 24 hours of making it.

And you know what? I didn’t think setting goals really mattered (maybe that’s because I wasn’t achieving them).

But after digging into the comprehensive brain and behavior research, here’s what I’ve learned:

Goals sure as hell do matter.

According to the research, goals make you happier. They suppress negative emotions and can even suppress feelings of fear and depression. They give you a sense of purpose and meaning and help you feel like you’re up to something.

Goals make life easier.

It turns out that having goals matters just as much as how you go about setting those goals.

So make it a goal today to listen to this incredible episode and learn how to set goals for 2023 the right way.

And even better, I’ve got a free 7-page workbook that is designed to be a companion to this podcast episode.

Just click here, and it will open right up – no need to sign up for anything.

I created this workbook just for you so you can identify at least one goal and refine it using the research you’ll learn while you listen to the episode.

How cool is that?!

Even cooler, as you listen to the episode you’ll hear me define and refine three goals of mine, step by step, alongside you.

If you don’t have time to listen to the whole episode: “Goal Setting Toolkit: Why Behavior Change Often Fails & How to Set the Right Goals for You“

fast forward to 31:25 so you can at least learn about the five common mistakes we all make when it comes to setting goals. 

Let’s start changing your goals so that 2023 is the year you make them happen. And once you fill out the workbook, hit reply and let me know what your goals are.

And just, in case no one else tells you, let me be the one to say that I love you and I believe in you and your ability to set goals for yourself to create a life that feels fulfilling.
