Goal setter, goal getter
If you follow us on social media you know that I’ve been working on establishing a regular yoga routine. Let’s use my goal to discuss some of the elements that are critical to goal setting and goal getting.
Goal: Do five minutes (or more!) of yoga five days per week throughout September.
Is it S.M.A.R.T.? Your goal should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time bound. My goal is indeed S.M.A.R.T!
Connect your goal with an existing habit/routine. What’s something I do every day? When I come downstairs from putting my daughter to bed, I’ll do my yoga session.
Identify your why and your motivators. Why am I doing this? I want to age well and have good balance and flexibility. My “why” is an internal motivator, but having an external motivator beyond myself is so helpful. I shared my progress on social media with an external audience.
Revisit and revise goal as needed. Now that we’re nearing the end of September, I intend to do yoga throughout the week and would like one session to be a 20 or 30 minute session.
We are here to help you SET and GET your health goals. Are you ready?
