Does it seem like you set a New Year’s resolution each year and then fall off by March?
Like most Americans, you might plan to become more active, lose weight, or eat healthier. This year, try a different approach — U.S. Health and Human Services recommends setting SMART goals, instead of general goals. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-specific.
Use the following tips to help you set SMART goals and achieve your resolution:
n Set goals that motivate you.
n Write your goals down.
n Share your goals with others.
n Make an action plan.
n Find ways to keep yourself on track.
n Review and reflect on your progress.
