To help you have the best chance of success for your resolution, make sure to set SMART goals!
SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timely.
-
Specific: Decide exactly what you want to accomplish including a “what”, “where”, “when”, and “how (long)”. Avoid general statements like “I want to exercise more.” Instead, be more specific such as “I will walk around the block for 20 minutes twice this week.”
-
Measurable: How will you measure whether you have accomplished your goal? Measurements for physical activity might be: minutes walked, laps swam, flights of stairs, holes of golf, etc.
-
Achievable: The goals should be challenging, but not impossible. You might ask yourself “Can I accomplish this activity?”
-
Relevant: How is this goal relevant to your life?
-
Timely: Identify a solid start and end date, or a length of time
