7. Setting goals is a proven way to improve emotional resilience
Not having goals reduces resilience and having goals increases resilience.[8] Without goals you are a like a rudderless ship that will easily sink in stormy seas. Having goals will give you a sense of purpose and help to keep you focused and in control.
