Have your goals written down, now what.Every goal has to have a series of steps to get you to that goal. You have to make them S.M.A.R.T. Breaking goals into specific parts that you can actually define and measure is a major step to achieving them.Planning one day (or one week) at a time, setting reminders in your phone, and adding small items to your life that encourage success.Figure out a weekly mileage goal, exercise objective, or healthy eating target and then calculate from there.As you progress with your plan, tracking your progress (no matter how small ) can help you reaffirm that promise you made to yourself.Maybe you add a sticker in your planner every time you meditate before bed, buy a water bottle designed to track your daily consumption or log your workouts to see how many miles you’ve walked since the year started.Try journaling, phone apps, and calendar reminders to help keep you accountable, too.Be realistic about potentialTry to set small goals that are slightly outside your comfort zone but still realistic, suggests Babers. “Don’t set yourself up for failure,” she says.By figuring out if you have the energy, focus, and time to achieve each goal, you can avoid setting the bar too high.For example, if you really can’t work out five days a week, then aim for three.Attainable: “For the first two months, I will run 5 miles a week, then add half a mile more each week. I will lift weights two times a week.”Your goals should be personal and geared toward what works for you.Don’t choose something that you inherently won’t enjoy doing. Hate doing yoga? Then don’t make a daily practice for your goal.Instead, you might try a daily 5-minute morning stretch routine.Set a date that’s not too far offWhen you are SMART goal setting, make sure to define a date for your goals and set milestones along the way.“SMART goals are used in environments that are steady and consistent over time,” says Keelan, so make sure you have enough time to crush your goal.At the same time, it’s also important not to give yourself too much time, so you don’t get bored or lose focus.Timely: “I will run my 10K race in April!”https://www.beachbodyondemand.com/blog/smart-goal-setting Follow me on Facebook or Instagramhttps://www.facebook.com/AmieeKBBC/https://www.instagram.com/amieek_bbc/email me: [email protected]Book RecommendationsGet Out Of Your Own Way - Dave HollisGirl Wash Your Face - Rachel HollisGirl Stop Apologizing - Rachel HollisAtomic Habits - James ClearFierce, Free, and Full of Fire - Jen HatmakerIt is ok, not to be ok - Megan DivineEverything is Figureoutable - Marie ForleoLose Weight Like Crazy - Autumn CalabreseMeditation Apps:CalmAuraHeadspaceStop, Breathe & ThinkPodcasts:Rise Together PodcastThe Marie Forleo Podcasttiny leaps, big changesFor the LoveDaily BoostUnlocking Us with Brene Brown
