In the business world, we use the acronym SMART. It
stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant,
Time-based. This can be applied in everyday life as well.
Identify concrete, specific, attainable goals for yourself.
Once you have identified those goals and have a plan
set, track your progress. Find yourself an accountability
partner. Make sure it’s not someone who will sabotage
your goals but will give you a push when necessary.
Celebrate your successes and acknowledge your
failures, but don’t stay there, move on. Every round
will get easier, and before you know it, you will have
reached your goal.
As we step into the new year, make smart attainable
goals. Whether you want to lose weight, save money,
buy a house, start a blog, or write your first novel.
Take it one chapter at a time, one pound at a time,
one dollar at a time, it all adds up. Invite positivity into
your atmosphere. Allow only encouraging vibes to
enter your mind. Remember, what we think we are,
we manifest. Speak INCREASE in every area of your
territory, and you’ll definitely enjoy your New Year and
your New You.
