Setting goals can impact all areas of health in a positive way because setting goals can help you improve your self-worth and self-esteem. When you have achieved your goal you set for yourself, you feel a sense of accomplishment and gratitude, which are positive emotions. When you are at peace with yourself in the mind, your body responds. A healthy mind leads to a healthy body.
