Goal setting one step at a time


12 years ago 0 2606 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0

Members,

When setting goals pertaining to your healthy behaviour change journey, you may feel overwhelmed by the enormity of the task or of the length of time over which you will be maintaining the chosen behaviour change.
This being the case, it is often useful to set specific goals over shorter periods of time. For instance, you may wish to resolve not to drink for the next 100 days, or until your next birthday. Once the milestone in the near future rolls around, you may then set the next milestone, and the next milestone, etc.
By setting goals in this fashion, you will not only keep track of your progress more effectively (relative to all of the milestones you've reached), but you will also make behavior change more manageable and rewarding.
Have you used this method of goal setting? If so, please share your experience with us.
Samantha, Health Educator
