Goal Setting

Whether you are trying to start activity for the first time, begin a different exercise routine, or practice healthy eating habits, think of the person you’d like to be 3 months from now. What is your GOAL?
When thinking of a goal for your health and well being, keep in mind that your goals must be…
· Consistent with your values
· Specific & concrete
· Ambitious yet achievable
· Scheduled with completion dates
· Regularly revisited to assess progress
· Celebrated when achieved
· Important to you
· Within your power to make happen
· Clearly defined with a specific action plan
· Made up of smaller steps
On your wellness journey, you may find yourself experiencing road blocks. Have you hit any of these road blocks yet?
· Pushback: The natural human resistance to change
· Rationalization: Blaming failure on circumstances
· Projections: Blaming failure on other people
· Procrastination: Putting off until tomorrow what you can accomplish today
· Creative Avoidance: Dodging responsibility by not facing it

Being aware of our challenges or “road blocks” will help us overcome our obstacles and reach our goals.
Push on! Don’t give up! Stay strong!
