As we enter into the end of January, our goals can become stale. It happens, we get too excited about trying to accomplish so much so quickly that when we fall short we stop all together. So what’s a better way to stay on track for the rest of the year? It could be better planning to accomplish your New Years goal or planning your SMART goal.
How to create a reliable SMART goal. You may have heard “SMART” goals in school or in the board room, but that acronym can come in handy when you want to accomplish your new years resolutions.
- Specific, make your goal specific as possible, such as to lose 5 pounds by this month or be active 5 days out of the week through the gym or playing a sport.
- Measurable, make your goal measurable, for instance tracking all of my food for the whole day 2 times a week.
- Attainable, smaller goals can lead up to your overall target (2 days of waking up early to exercise can turn into 3 days).
- Realistic, be true to yourself, and stick to what you are capable of doing.
- Timely, always put a due date so your goals don’t fade away.
Using this SMART system can be for helping you eat healthier, stop smoking, start exercising, practicing mindfulness, sleeping better, and drinking more water, etc. What is even better….. is creating your SMART goal with the mindset of what stops you from accomplishing your goal. When thinking about what specifically stops you from accomplishing your goals, this can help you find ways to work around those excuses.
Creating SMART goal will help you achieve realistic goals that fit you. Some ways to start with healthier “resolutioners” with their goals is to create a shopping list to help stick to better food choices when preparing meals throughout the week, plan a routine of how you will gain enough sleep and physical activity into your routine, and never quit!
