Another (hopefully better) year has begun, and alongside the changing of the calendars comes a motivation to make change in our own lives. But how can we help make sure that we actually reach our goals as opposed to setting ourselves up for something unattainable?

Think up a goal that you have. Anything you have a desire for or want to make happen over the coming months. 

Now imagine that goal as a place. How far away are you?

If it’s a simpler goal, you might imagine that you could see it at the end of the road. A longer term goal may feel like your destination is a month long journey through a wintery mountain pass.

And some goals won’t have any clear paths towards them – in fact you may just feel that they’re somewhere over the horizon, and you’re unsure if it’s even possible to get there.

To have a chance at actually reaching any of them, you need to set your course forward. Some journeys will be longer, and some will be more difficult, but the first step on any of them is to survey the landscape, and figure out what path to take.

Don’t just drift forward aimlessly into the new year – spend some time charting your course and you’ll be much more likely to reach your destination. 

Float Fact: Happy Birthday Dr. Lilly!

He used the tanks in a wide variety of his experiments, and they played a large role in his philosophical writings over the years. Since his early experiments in the 1950s-70s, the float tank has been brought out of the laboratory and inspired a global movement towards embracing the world within. Happy Birthday Dr. Lilly – and tanks for all the floats.
