Working towards a goal which is meaningful to one has proven to help in combating the negative impact of stress. This is because the individual finds a sense of who they are by achieving the goal.~
If you were to delve deep and understand how this mechanism works, it comes down to the story you tell yourself. About who you are…., what you are getting at… and how much this means to you. Thus, reflecting and reframing everyday stressors that come your way in the process of achieving your goal.~
This in turn forms a positive feedback loop by helping you cope effectively with stressors and keeps your motivation up to achieve your goal.~
But for those who still have not figured out their purpose in life, it’s never too late. Begin by asking yourself, “What do I want for myself?”~
