Are your goals SMART?

Are your goals SMART?

The beginning of the year has arrived and you’re READY to make some changes. You’re ambitious and excited to improve those areas that you feel are lacking and energized by the possibilities. We are cheering you on all the way!

Before you get started, let’s talk about SMART goal setting. Why? Because if we aren’t SMART about our goals then we’ll end up defeated and we quit and then it’s a little tougher to get started again. It’s a vicious cycle and awareness is key.

So what exactly is a SMART goal?

 Now let’s use an example for clarity. Let’s say that exercise consistency is my goal. I need to fit fitness into my life more frequently. Quite often our goal will be “I’m going to workout more often”. Is that a SMART goal? Nope!

Why?

It’s not Specific or Measurable.

Let’s try another one. I’m going to get up and go to the gym 7 days per week. SMART?

Nope.

Why?

It’s not attainable or realistic.

Do you see where we’re going here?

Let’s practice together.

Use this fun brainstorming sheet to wrestle with your goals and get started on the path of success.

We’re cheering for you!!
