And I don’t mean SMRT ala The Simpsons. Many people who set out to reach a goal are unsuccessful simply because they failed to run their goal through the following steps. An example of a vague goal that is difficul tto reach is…I want to lose weight. Let’s look at how to optimize your goal by making it specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timed.
S - Specific “I will not bite or pick my nails for fingers for 21 days”
M - Measurable “I will eat at least 3 servings of fruit and veggies every day”
A - Attainable “I will move my body for 15 minutes or more every day”
R- Realistic “I will lose 1 inch from my waist”
T - Timed “For the next 21 days I will not gossip”
If you want some ideas about how you could make your goal smarter, send me an email and I’d be happy to help you. Tune in tomorrow when we talk about how to make your goal more meaningful.

Scientists agree that real behaviour change takes about 21 days. Do you have a goal that you want to reach, or take a big bite from? I know that many of you want coaching but worry that you can’t afford it right now. Why don’t you play along with me as I set out to break an old habit or form a new one in 21 days? I’ll provide tips, strategies and motivation and you can let me and the others know how you are making out, where you are stumbling and how you stay on track. You can remain anonymous or you can post to the message board and use your journey to inspire others.
I haven’t decided yet when we will get started, so get in touch if you want me to let you know when the 21 day revolution will begin! Send your email to robin@lifeinspired.ca (don’t use the contact page from the website until we get it up and running again).
No goal too big or too small…Come and play.
