HUFFPOST: THE GOOD LIFE - Wellness Wisdom
 
 
 
 
I’m writing this newsletter as I listen to Taylor Swift’s “Midnights” for the 1 millionth time. People relate to Swift’s lyrics in different ways, but there’s one common throughline with this album that feels different than others: how poignantly she captures what it’s like to struggle with your mental health. One bonus song, in particular, is resonating with people who have experienced miscarriages and the grief that often ensues.

Got a spare minute? Use it to change your life. Our “A Minute And Change” series will help you become happier, healthier and more productive by doing one thing a little differently. This week’s tip comes from therapist Chanel Johnson on the motivational trick that helps you reach specific goals.

Have visual reminders of the overall goal. For example, if you have issues getting started on work projects, but you’re looking forward to moving up in the company, have a sheet of paper you can look at with your name and the title that you want behind it.
