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”
