Mommy Tip: A goal a day keeps depression away

Having a goal for each day can really

add some umph to your day.  Setting a
goal for the day will not only make

your day more productive, it will
enhance your day by giving it some meaning.



There are all types of goals one can have.

Goals can be something active,
like things you’d like to get done that 

day or something more mental like
working on yourself.

For example, goals could include putting 

in a load of laundry, baking a
dessert for shabbat, not screaming at

the kids, only check email once today,
etc.



Here’s a story from my own life:

I woke up one morning after having gotten 

VERY little sleep the night
before.  All I could think about was how

I couldn’t wait for the day to be
over so I could crawl back into bed and 

go back to sleep.  What a waste of a
day!   I decided to make a goal for myself. 

Often, when I’ve gotten very
little sleep, I have much less patience for

my kids, find myself getting
frustrated, yelling, etc.  My goal for the 

day was that despite the lack of
sleep, I was going to control myself. 

I would remain patient and calm
throughout the day (I was a stay at home 

mom for 2 little kids at the time.)
By setting this goal for myself, it brought 

meaning into my day.  My day
suddenly became an exciting challenge 

to live up to.  I was energized.  It
was no more a potential “wasted” day.



I challenge you to make small goals for

yourself each morning when you wake
up, and see how it changes *your *day.
