Personal growth starts with setting clear, actionable goals. But vague aspirations like “I want to be healthier” or “I want to succeed” often lead to frustration. Enter the SMART framework: goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
This post walks you through creating goals that work. For example, instead of saying, “I want to get fit,” set a goal like, “I will run three times a week for 20 minutes over the next month.” Break larger goals into smaller, manageable steps, and track your progress regularly.
Remember to celebrate milestones, no matter how small—they’re evidence of your hard work and dedication. With this approach, you’ll not only achieve your goals but also build confidence and resilience along the way.
