Be Specific

Make your New Year's goals specific by using the SMART method. Ask yourself:

  • What do I want to achieve?
  • How will I track my progress?
  • How can I make this goal realistic?
  • Why does this goal matter to me?
  • When do I want to achieve it?

If a goal seems too big, break it into smaller steps. For example, if you want to run a marathon, start with short runs and slowly build up. Small steps will help turn your goals into reality.
