Goal setting

Set SMART Goals

Want to make a healthy change? Start with a SMART goal. SMART goals turn a general idea like “I want to exercise more” into a clear plan you can actually follow.

​

S – Specific: What exactly do you want to accomplish?
M – Measurable: How will you track your progress?
A – Achievable: Is your goal realistic for you?
R – Relevant: Why is this goal important to you?
T – Time-bound: When do you want to accomplish it?

​

Instead of saying, “I want to exercise more,” try:
“I will walk for 30 minutes, three days a week, for the next four weeks.”

​

It's all about consistency
