I feel like every week I say this is one of my favorites but it truly is. It is incredibly important to live our lives with intention and purpose. Our lives are overflowing with responsibilities and to-do lists but sometimes what truly matters to us never has the chance to get accomplished. This is where SMART Goals really can make a difference.
Think of 3 things you want to accomplish this year. Every year about 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail. It’s not the goal that fails it’s the lack of understanding the process to make them successful. This is where your SMART goal application comes in. Take each of your goals and break them down into:
S – Specific: WHAT do I want to accomplish and WHY…your reason, purpose or benefits of accomplishing this goal
M – Measureable: Your goal should have concrete facts. You should be able to answer very specifically, when and how you will know you attained your goal.
A – Achievable: You want your goal to be “do-able” but it’s good to step outside of your comfort zone.
R – Relevant: You should be intrinsically motivated to reach your goal
T – Timely: Establish a timeframe for when you want your goal completed.
You’ve got this, JUMP IN!!
