November 2007: You Go Girl! Set SMART Goals
Welcome to the November, 2007 Newsletter.
Our focus this month is on setting effective goals and in accomplishing those goals. The first step, of course, is to set SMART goals. To assist you in this task, check out the following 8 tips:
- State each goal as a positive statement: For example, stating your goal as “I will exercise 2 times this week” is more effective than “I will not be a lazy couch potato this week”.
- Be precise: Set a precise goal, putting in dates, times and amounts so that you can measure achievement. If you do this, you will know exactly when you have achieved the goal, and can take complete satisfaction from having achieved it. For example, pick a specific date and time when you are going to exercise and stipulate “I will exercise, at home, in my basement, Monday and Wednesday after dinner”.
- Set priorities to your goals: When you have several goals, give each a priority. This helps you to avoid feeling overwhelmed by too many goals, and helps to direct your attention to the most important ones.
- Write goals down: Studies show that persons who write down their goals are more likely to achieve them. So, get out your notepad and pen and record your goals!
- Keep operational goals small: Keep the low-level goals you are working towards small and achievable. If a goal is too large, then it can seem that you are not making progress towards it. Keeping goals small and incremental gives more opportunities for reward.
- Be realistic but also ambitious.
- Be aware of the effect of External Forces. Remember that you can only control your own self. You cannot control external forces. However, you can control your reaction and response to unforeseen external forces.
- Finally, create SMART goals: Make your goals specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound.
