“What’s one thing you’d like to accomplish this year?”
Common Pitfalls with Resolutions
Use the SMART framework (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant,
Time-bound).
Staying Engaged with Goals
Track Progress:
○ Use apps, journals, or habit trackers to monitor your journey.
○ Celebrate small wins to maintain momentum.
Adjust as Needed:
○ Goals aren’t set in stone; life changes, so should your plans.
○ Regularly review and tweak your goals.
Build a Support Network:
○ Surround yourself with people who encourage and inspire you.
○ Share your progress with them to stay accountable.
Reward Yourself:
○ Set milestones and treat yourself when you achieve them.
○ Keep rewards aligned with your goals (e.g., a new workout outfit for fitness milestones).
