Description
Hi, you've probably told someone about a goal, felt that little rush of pride, and then somehow lost momentum on it in the weeks after. This video explains exactly why that happens using real psychology research, and what to do instead so your announcements actually add fuel instead of quietly killing your drive. Hope this one changes how you talk about your goals!!
