Wellbeing in the New Year

Each year we make resolutions to improve our health, quit bad habits and make better use of our time. No matter what your resolutions are, make sure you are setting yourself up for success. Look at it as a goal, rather than a resolution. Use the SMART goal setting technique to help you continue healthy habits or quit the things that don't positively contribute to your life.

  • Specific - A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal.
  • Measurable - How much? How Many? Set concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment for each goal.
  • Attainable - When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true.
  • Realistic - To be realistic, a goal must represent an objective toward which you are both willing and able to work. A high goal is sometimes easier to reach than a low one because a low goal employs low motivation.
  • Timely - A goal should be grounded within a time frame. With no time frame tied to it there's no sense of urgency.

It's helpful to write out your goals and each of the SMART steps. If you feel like you are challenging yourself and you are afraid of failing, re-examine your goal and write a plan for when you "fall off the wagon".
