This is really well put. My favorite piece of advice for people is to determine if you're moving towards or away from something because the research tells us that approach goals can actually contribute to our overall happiness.
Thank you! And I couldn’t agree more — that “toward vs. away” distinction is such a crucial lens. Approach goals bring clarity and direction, while avoidance can sometimes just keep us busy without growth. I love how research is finally catching up to what many wise professionals have sensed for years: intention matters just as much as action. Appreciate you sharing that insight.
