Small Steps -- setting goals -- 2010.37

Small Steps

A journey of a thousand miles begins with
a single step.

Lao-tzu

Try This:

I love setting goals. The process motivates me and helps me move forward. I don't always achieve them and I've made peace with that, but I have learned a few things that make the achievement more likely.

Have you heard of making SMART Goals?

Specific
Measurable
Achievble
Realistic
Time bound

How about SMARTER Goals?

Simple
Motivational
Aligned (with who you are and what you value)
Resourced (help to achieve your goal)
Trackable
Enjoyable
Revisit (is it still the right goal for you?)

Can you make a SMARTER goal this week?

My Journey:

I've lost weight twice before but I gained it back eventually. This time I'm determined to keep it off and I realize that it's not a one time fix. It's a journey. And as with all great journeys, you learn as you go.

I take these small steps with you each week because I also need to build and maintain the habits and behaviors that support me in my journey. Thanks for joining me each week. Have fun and enjoy your life!
