But should we really be focusing on goals at all? In this episode of Focused Healthy Family, Gina and Don take a thoughtful look at the New Year mindset and ask an important question: Are goals setting us up for success\u2014or disappointment? Referencing research shared by Psychology Today, they discuss why nearly 92% of goals are never achieved, and what actually gets in the way for most people. The conversation explores the differences between goals, intentions, and decisions, and why the language we use matters\u2014especially for caregivers, families, and anyone already carrying a full emotional load. Gina and Don break down how intentions can create flexibility, how decisions can create clarity, and how shifting your approach can lead to more peace and follow-through throughout the year. Whether you\u2019re caring for aging loved ones, managing family responsibilities, or simply wanting a healthier mindset moving into the new year, this episode offers encouragement, perspective, and a more compassionate way to move forward\u2014without the guilt of \u201cfailed\u201d resolutions.  https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/optimizing-success\/202412\/92-percent-of-people-never-achieve-their-goals  #FocusedHealthyFamily&amp;nbsp;#NewYearMindset&amp;nbsp;#IntentionalLiving&amp;nbsp;#GoalsVsIntentions&amp;nbsp;#HealthyFamilies&amp;nbsp;#CaregiverSupport&amp;nbsp;#FamilyWellness&amp;nbsp;#MentalHealthAwareness&amp;nbsp;#NewYearReflection&amp;nbsp;#LifeTransitions&amp;nbsp;#PsychologyToday&amp;nbsp;#StressLessLiveMore ","author_name":"Focused Healthy Family Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/focusedhealthyfamily.libsyn.com\/website","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/39564750\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/196989080"}
