Do you know where you want to be with your health goals this new year? Without goals, we lack a sense of direction and focus. Here are some quick and easy steps on how you can use goal setting as a tool to be more successful in building new health habits!
Step 1: Find your purpose or why you are making a change.
Step 2: Start by coming up with small, easily achievable goals for building healthy habits. Examples: drink more water instead of sugary drinks, include vegetables in every meal, avoid screen time one day a week, get up and move every half hour, etc.
Step 3: Once you have established a habit of setting and achieving those smaller goals, you will be in a better mindset to aim for bigger goals.
Step 4: Set a deadline for when you would like to achieve your long-term goals. Deadlines give us incentive to make it a priority every day.
Step 5: Create SMART goals, by being specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely.
