Ahhhh.... the start of a new year. We have big ideas. We set big goals. We feel pumped. And then... life. We get distracted, we get discouraged, and our goals seem to get farther and farther away.

To truly live a healthy lifestyle, we need to create habits. To create long lasting habits, we need to set SMART Goals:

- Specific

- Measurable

- Attainable

- Realistic

- Timeline

SPECIFIC

Think about the Who, What, Where, When, and Why. Make sure to prioritize your goals!

MEASURABLE

How will you measure your success? List objective and subjective ways.

ATTAINABLE | REALISTIC (resources)

Visualize your path. Make and list action steps.

Visualize your results. Make sure to have resources available.

TIMELINE

What is your timeframe for taking action on each step?

So, grab a journal and start writing- there is real power in bringing pen to paper. Share your goals with others- say them out loud from the mountain tops! Find ways to hold yourself accountable. Did you know at MANNA, we offer a customized app? We can keep track out WHATEVER you want. We can also set reminders. We can set up alerts to remind and to motivate you. If you are interested, let's set up a time to chat :)

And if you need help setting up your goals, let's schedule a health coaching session. Are you ready to start making real change?
