10 Apr How to set achievable goals!
The whole team at VIDA believe that we can help people to achieve their goals and this first edition we hope to provide a few helpful tips.
Always be realistic about the goals that you want to set
◦ An unrealistic goal, may leave you feeling disappointed if you don’t reach it
◦ Consider breaking a long-term goal down into small bite size chunks, so that can hit milestones as you go along.
Set a goal that pushes your comfort zone
• Don’t think that your goal is too small or too big
◦ It might be fitting into a pair of jeans
◦ Running a marathon
◦ Feeling great about yourself
Any goal is positive, so that you have something to aim for.
Make your goals S.M.A.R.T.
◦ Specific,
◦ Measurable
◦ Attainable
◦ Realistic and
◦ Time-sensitive.
Have accountability
◦ Tell someone what your goals are and ask them to hold you accountable for updating them on your progress
Track Progress
◦ Whether you do this yourself or with the help of a trainer, make a note of your progressions, so that you can see the results (it’s a great feeling)
Don’t give up
◦ You may have a down day or a period of time where commitments hinder your progress, but stick with it and you will see the results you want.
