How to Change Your Life in 3 Months: Goal-Setting Science

🌊 If we're on the same wavelength, join my online community! ✍🏻 Every week I send my top tips, favourite things and interesting thoughts directly to your inbox with love. 💜

❤️ Changing your life takes both intentionality and consistent effort. Structured and intelligent goal setting is the foundation for making this kind of progress. It’s never too late to set new goals or update our existing ones, though how we set and pursue goals has a huge impact on whether or not we’ll actually achieve them - and some common goal-setting practices can actually be harmful rather than helpful to success.

Sending you all so much love for the new year xxx

How cool is it that you can now introduce yourself by saying ‘I’m a Cambridge graduate and a doctor’! You did that, Izzy!

[tramyhuynhnu]

I have 3 big goals in this year:
1. Graduated university and become a pharmacist.
2. By myself earn the first salaries and buying something special for my parents.
3. Go to beach and enjoy the life for a few days.

[ashirarobinson]

all of her videos are easy to listen to bc her voice is so calm and nice and all the things you learn is amazing

[sulimanahmed]

A true life example of “Atomic Habits”, bravo 👏.

[Designsss.]

The world needs more people like you. You are highly inspirational and deserves lots of subscribers. One thing I learnt from this video is setting few goals within a year rather than goal overload.

[aisharazi]

I'm a first year med student and also learning mandarin. You inspires me so much and I'm so happy to have found your channel. You look like someone I wanna be when I grow older. Love you and your content, Izzy! <3

[Teja]

holy crap i was in the trap positive visualisation with no success, u r absolutely right about the dopamine hit. Negative visualisation makes so much sense. your channel is a gold mine. This video is a goldmine wow

[bushidopodcastofficial]

I like the point about the amygdala somewhat desensitizing us to failure if we can consider it beforehand.

[Kowki]

You're not just beautiful but smart as well. Thanks a lot Izzy for helping us to bring the best out of ourselves. Stay safe and wish you all the best. Much love from Philippines ❤️🇵🇭

[MelissaaLu]

Idk how else to describe it, your content makes me flourish and want to stay consistent with all my goals. Thank you Izzy! ❤

[andremarco]

I love the way u smile while you're speaking, it sheds the best energy upon us. Amazing and practical content ❤️

[phirapatmangkhalasiri]

Thanks Izzy for your tips.

I am a third year PhD researcher at UCL and now attempting to learn French. You are a source of my inspiration. Thanks a lot!

[michellelok]

❤ I’m a cantonese speaker. Love your channel. I like the calmness when you speak. Can’t wait to talk to you fluently in Cantonese.

[Lanadelreysfan]

My major goals are learning Spanish (from A1 to B1 ), not quitting the gym, being more religious, eating healthier( having a healthier lifestyle) and passing my exams with an A+

[scum]

I have watched many goal setting YouTube videos. This is definitely the best and most practical to implement - to reach your desired goals. Thanks Izzy. You are the best

[mazzdacon]

I have been learning Japanese, initially with books and audio files that are useful for the basics but language is about interaction, so I found a language exchange partner and we meet weekly for 2 hours on Skype. In addition we set each other writing assignments which are corrected live. My proficiency has accelerated dramatically with the live situation, and because it is at a regular time each week there is a huge incentive to study and prepare beforehand. Self study can be quite patchy at times with a busy life.

[Romanophonie]

I love how practical this goal-setting framework is. So practical in fact that I am going to work on setting my goals right now.

[carlosmuro]

Your idealistic yet realistic approach to life inspires me greatly. Thank you Izzy.

[eloo]

Doom and gloom is easy for me as I do it everyday but now I'll try to put a more positive spin on it. Thinking too positively creates dopamine and lessons your motivation and drive, that's interesting. Be kinder to myself is a must. Thanks Izzy!! Always great as usual!!
