New Year's Resolution, Achieving your Goals
For many people January is a time to reflect on ones health. Each year many people try to get in shape, loose weight and spend more time taking care of them selves, very few people actually succeed in achieving their wellness goals. Many of us set goals, few of us know how to achieve those goals. Smart Goal Setting S - Specific M – Measurable A – Attainable R – Realistic T – Timely Specific - by being specific we can focus our efforts and know exactly how we plan on achieving our goal. Questions you should be asking are What/Why/How. Try not to say “I want to loose weight” or “I want to be healthier”, instead be specific “I want to loose 1″ off my waist line” or ” I want to walk a mile a day”. Measurable - When setting your goal, set a goal that can be measured. By tracking your progress you can stay on track and motivate yourself to achieve your specific goal. If you cant measure it, you can’t achieve it. Attainable - Don’t make a goal that you cannot achieve.
