(Aether Bios Clinic) Bridgeford’s Best Bites:
There is a very good point to goal setting at any time of year, not just at New Year. When you set a goal for something you really want/desire to do and aim for it with a specific focus, you are more likely to reach it, especially when eliciting help and support of someone who can guide and encourage you. You can set individual or group goals, with your family or team.
Setting Goals: Make it something you really want/desire to do, rather than something you ‘think’ you should do. A simple formula for goal setting is to make the goal S.M.A.R.T:
Specific: What exactly do you want to achieve?
Measurable: How will you know when you have achieved it, what specifically will you notice?
Attainable: Is your goal possible/attainable for you within your time, money, limits, talents and abilities?
Relevant: Is this something you really want to achieve and why?
Timely: Timelineshelp us focus and take action. Is the time limit realistic for you to achieve your goal?
