// How to Set Clear Goals //

1. Be clear and specific with what you want to achieve.

Don’t just say you want to get fit or healthy,
Say you want to run a mile in 6 minutes,
Say you want to lose 10 pounds.

Make it a clear goal that you can measure.

2. Break the goal down into steps.

Have smaller goals to reach throughout the year.

Reward yourself with something when you reach them.

3. Track your progress.

We feel good about ourselves when can see our improvements.

There’s plenty of great apps out there in which you can do this.

4. Acknowledge your weaknesses, and take note of any setbacks.

If you know when you’re likely to trip up then you can prepare yourself in advance, or avoid it altogether.

5. Be accountable.

When you don’t go for your weekly run, or you indulge in that chocolate cake, set consequences.

Make it hurt.

6. Make sure you have fun.

If you’re enjoying the ride, that long road to a new you will fly past, and you’re far less likely to give up.
