As a New Year begins, many of us set goals and make resolutions to improve our lives. We think this process will make this year better, or happier, than our last. New Year's resolutions often do not work because we try to make very big changes overnight. When we set goals or make resolutions and fail, we add to our anxiety. As a veterinarians and perfectionists, we tend to be over achievers and we may even use goal setting (and taking on too many tasks) to avoid feeling our negative emotions such as anxiety. On this podcast we talk about using resolutions and goals to increase our skills and experiences, but decrease anxiety.
