How to use this worksheet

A goal that is SMART has a greater chance of motivating you so it pays to take the time to think it through. 

Making your goal specific and measurable may take a bit of creativity but once you've got it, you've got it for life. If you're struggling to do this, you may need to revisit your goal and choose something that it makes sense to measure. 

Attainable is highly dependant on you, your ability, experience, resources, time and more. What you want is to find that sweet spot of challenging but definitely possible. Remember, a small victory creates self-efficacy which opens up greater potential. Don't set yourself up for failure. 

If your goal is measurable and attainable, the timed part becomes easy. Working towards a end point should be energising and draw our more of your capacities. When you have an date in mind, even if just a month like by September... the sense of accomplishment is more powerful, more insightful, and makes you want to go again.
