Setting goals is essential, even when fearing responsibility. By setting goals and imagining worst-case scenarios, you create boundaries for your brain to operate better. You need to ask yourself how to configure your life to justify or celebrate challenging circumstances. For example, envisioning a life that justifies caring for a sick loved one without becoming embittered or angry requires imaginative thinking.
