How to set goals
Set S.M.A.R.T. goals
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Time-based
This is important framework for creating any goal, short-term or long-term. I keep this structure in mind when helping people set goals and intentions.
We work smart
▪︎ We are specific
▪︎ We look at the details of the desired outcome
▪︎ We talk about what already works for the person and if we can use it to reach the current goal
▪︎ We discuss how to go about the smaller steps towards completing the bigger picture
▪︎ We figure out a time frame and consider how much time a person has to devote towards the goal
▪︎ We explore appropriate alternative strategies and methods to reach the goal. There’s probably more than one way to go about it
▪︎ I teach people new strategies and we determine how they can be applied to reflect what we’re aiming for
Reach out to me if you think I can help with a goal.
