Abstract

Effect of giving up on personal\u27s goal, because of under difficult or impossible conditions on health was investigated by examining the concept of health from two perspectives, the subjective feeling of well-being and physical health that includes the quality of sleep and the physical condition. These conditions were classified into two categories; when it was difficult to achieve a goal and when it was impossible to achieve it. In the case where it was difficult to achieve a goal, to keep pursuing the goal without giving up and adjusting the goal flexibly to the situation was significant for both subjective feelings of happiness and physical health. On the other hand, when it was impossible to achieve a goal, establishing a new goal and trying to achieve it was more effective in increasing the subjective feeling of happiness than giving up the goal. These results suggest that pursuing personal\u27s goal under any circumstance is better for health to than giving up a goal
