I don’t feel the need to tell you all about the important of clear, SMART goal setting. The purpose, point, and benefit have all been stated about a billion times throughout different media, so if you’re unclear, I know plenty of people will clear it up for you. I don’t even feel the need [...]
Fun fact: I deal with depression. It started when I was 13, became worse over time, and for the last few years, it’s been damn near omnipresent. It culminated not too long ago with some relationship issues. Things became miserable and I turned inward to fix them. It didn’t work. Here’s why: [...]
