info_outlineSetting big goals can be overwhelming, which is why many people fall short and eventually give up on them. But by breaking your bigger goals into smaller goals, you create momentum, which leads to daily dopamine releases (the “feel good” chemical) that generate perpetual feelings of motivation.
