How To Write Smart goal thats achievable

Your goals must fit the following criteria - that is, they must be 'SMART'

Specific: Clearly define your goal and what it will mean to you, achieving it

Measurable: You must be able to measure your progress toward your goal

Ambitious: Set your health goals to stretch you and take you out of your comfort zone

Realistic: Make sure your health goal is what you really believe you can achieve

Timed: A firm date by which you will achieve your goals

Now let's make sense of the 'a goal thats SMART is a goal thats successful' criteria. Imagine you are setting out on a journey to a place called Physical Health and Wellness.

You want to be there by 5 p.m. tomorrow. You are going because being there will make you look, feel, and live your life better. When you feel good on the inside, you also look good on the outside. This can only spell one thing - you are living and enjoying better physical health. This is the Specific part of your goalsetting

How will you know you are on the right road to physical health? Every so often, as with any journey, you check the sign posts to reassure you that you're going in the right direction - that you're on track. You also check your watch to see that the distance covered so far (maybe the half way point) is right on target for getting you there on time. This is the Measured part of your set goal.
Don't be scared - set goals on an ambitious scale. By that I mean - don't simply play it safe by setting a goal that you know you can achieve blind-folded. This won't challenge you. Us women thrive on a healthy challenge. Heard about the X factor? Well this is the X in make it exciting.

If you raise the bar a bit higher, just think what that will do for your esteem self and motivation once you have achieved your personal goal. Go for it!

Making your personal goal ambitious should not cancel out the Realistic factor. For example, there's no point in planning your journey by car, if you don't drive. You will need to consider how you will get there. And relying on someone else's good-will to get you there - is a shakey start. Remember - make your goals Realistic and attainable.

How will you know when you have arrived at the place called Physical Health? You will know because you will have set yourself a date and time by which you would get there. Remember that you checked your progress at the half way point - the reviewing stage, to see that you were on schedule.

But most important of all, you will know that you are really there because you feel, look and are living your life better. This is the stage that represents your achievement of a SMART goal and thats a massive success. More importantly, that success came out of your applying the goal thats smart principle to your physical health and wellness. Now, doesn't that feel great just thinking about it?

All set! Before you proceed I cannot stress enough the importance of using the health womens goal setting activity health wheel.
