New Year’s Goals for 2017

goalssignNew Year’s is right around the corner!

There are often people on both sides of making resolutions. People who are against choosing this time of  year to make any resolutions and those that really embrace making resolutions or goals for the New Year. Studies show about 50% of Americans make resolutions, but only about 8% achieve them. Check out this great short article for improving your success, “A Psychologist’s Secrets to Making New Year’s Resolutions Stick”.

smart-goalsWhen creating goals, think of the SMART acronym which stands for:
S = Specific (make your goal simple and clear)
M = Measurable (tracking in a way to show you have completed your goal)
A = Achievable (be realistic, your goal can be challenging, but don’t set yourself up for failure)
R = Results-Focused (measure outcome)
T = Time-bound (by when will you aim to achieve your goal, be realistic; you may break up a large goal into smaller goals to achieve along the way)

For more on using the SMART method, check this resource from the University of Virginia.
