When it Comes to Goals, Start Small

Again, what’s most important is setting realistic goals whose accomplishment will create a feeling of success. You want to reward your brain for meeting your goals, and when you set them too high, you create a feeling of disappointment or failure—and you may even use the inability to meet your goals to berate yourself on a regular basis, which is completely counterproductive.

Remember, what fires together, wires together. If you set realistic goals that you continually reach, you are connecting success, and the feel-good brain chemicals (dopamine, endorphins, serotonin, oxytocin, etc.) that replenish your brain when you feel successful, with writing; if you set unrealistic goals, that you always fall short of reaching, you are connecting disappointment and self-defeat with writing. Start with goals you can easily reach, and when you are consistently meeting those goals, you can set new ones a little higher.
