S.M.A.R.T. Goal is:<\/p>\n

Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Relevant, and Time-bound<\/p>\n

S.M.A.R.T. goals create change by providing clarity, direction, a measurement of success for efforts, and motivation.<\/p>\n

In creating a S.M.A.R.T. GOAL, being specific means that you have decided on what change you want to create.\u00a0 Be as specific as possible and keep it simple so that you can call it to mind quickly. For example: I will drink 2 quarts of water daily.<\/p>\n

Measurable means to set up a way of measuring success.\u00a0 For example, I will drink 8 glasses of water per day.\u00a0 Track progress towards goal success in a journal or app.<\/p>\n

Actionable is vital.\u00a0 We all want success, so setting ourselves up for it does benefit us.\u00a0 Making the goal actionable is akin to making it a no-brainer.\u00a0 It\u2019s something you\u2019re sure you can take action toward.\u00a0 The idea is set a challenge that you feel confident facing.\u00a0 Example: I will drink 8 glasses of water per day by setting my water bottle in front of me every hour.<\/p>\n

Relevant is knowing it matters to you and the reasons.\u00a0 Relevant is knowing that the goal makes sense.\u00a0 Example: I will drink 8 glasses of water per day by setting my filled water bottle in front of me every hour because drinking water helps me feel good, have energy, and be healthy.<\/p>\n

Timely is giving yourself a specific timeline for action and specific time to achieve your desired end-result.\u00a0 Example: I will drink 8 glasses of water per day by setting my water bottle in filled front of me every hour for one month so I develop a new habit.<\/p>\n

There is a definite progression in a S.M.A.R.T. GOAL.\u00a0 Creating one is as simple as writing S.M.A.R.T. and filling in the blanks. This is a \u201cBaby Steps\u201d approach, really.\u00a0 As we succeed at each S.M.A.R.T. goal, we believe in ourselves more.\u00a0 Success begets success.<\/p>\n
