Setting SMART Goals for the New Year: Tips and Techniques

“T” could stand for time-based or time-bound

Setting healthy and achievable goals for the new year is a great way to start off on the right foot and set yourself up for success. Here are some tips for setting realistic expectations and breaking down your goals into smaller, more manageable steps:

1. Start by thinking about what you really want to achieve. What are your values and priorities? What are your long-term goals and how do you want to see yourself grow and improve over the next year?

2. Be specific and set SMART goals. SMART goals stand for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. This means that your goals should be clear, quantifiable, realistic, meaningful to you, and have a timeline for completion.

3. Break down your goals into smaller steps. It can be overwhelming to try and tackle a big goal all at once. Instead, break it down into smaller, more manageable steps that you can work on one at a time. This will help you stay motivated and on track.

4. Find accountability partners. Having someone to hold you accountable can be a huge motivator. Find someone who shares your goals and check in with each other regularly to stay on track and offer support and encouragement.

5. Use positive affirmations. Repeat positive affirmations to yourself regularly to help keep you motivated and focused on your goals. For example, you could say, “I am capable and strong, and I can achieve my goals.”

Remember, the key to setting healthy and achievable goals is to be realistic and take it one step at a time. With a little bit of planning and some motivation and support, you can achieve anything you set your mind to in the new year.
