The A of SMART goals stands for ATTAINABLE.⠀ .⠀ Set a goal that's within reach.⠀ .⠀ The "smartest" goal isn't necessarily the most challenging one. In fact, it takes intelligence to craft a goal that's not too easy, but not too hard.⠀ .⠀ Nothing kills motivation faster than feeling like there's no way you can succeed. Why even try?⠀ .⠀ When you set a goal that's reasonable, and within reach, you're more likely to feel motivated and empowered.⠀ .⠀ So, to keep with our movement example: if you haven't run in years, and you're coming back from an injury, why don't you set a goal to walk around the block, rather than to run a marathon this year?⠀ .⠀ You can always increase the difficulty of your goal as you achieve steps along the way.⠀ .⠀ posted on Instagram - http://bit.ly/2CbEotu

Well, it's the last day of the month (and year) – thanks for spending with us. 🙌⠀ .⠀ We dove into anger, sadness, and fear. We explored boundaries, why they're important, and how to set them.⠀ .⠀ And we learned that all emotions – even the so called "negative" ones – are intelligent.⠀ .⠀ They keep us safe, show us what matters, and clue us in when it's time to take action.⠀ .⠀ We'll be getting a fresh start in January, with It's not about making a quick change, or a resolution. We'll talk about crafting goals that are meaningful to you, and setting you up to achieve them.⠀ .⠀ posted on Instagram - http://bit.ly/2CGEF9h
