Goals must be SMART



S-- specific. For example, "I want to lose weight." This is wishful thinking. It becomes a goal when I pin myself down to "I will lose 1 kg in 90 days."

M--must be measurable. If we cannot measure it, we cannot accomplish it. Measurement is a way of monitoring our progress.

A--must be achievable. Achievable means that it should be out of reach enough to be challenging but it should not be out of sight, otherwise it becomes disheartening.

R-- Realistic. A person who wants to lose 50 kg’s in~30 days is being unrealistic.

T-- Time -bound. There should be a starting date and a finishing date.
