Setting goals
• Setting goals is important to identify what you want to achieve.
• Choosing areas that you want to try and change is a key part of successfully moving forward.
• Types of goals:- Long term goal(s)- Medium term goal (over 6 months)- Course goal (over 6 weeks)
![Page 23: Boost Your Mood Week 1 Let’s Talk Course. Welcome Housekeeping -fire exits, toilets, refreshments Introductions, who we are Questionnaires – which questionnaires?](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e165503460f94b00747/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
SMART Goals
What are SMART goals?
• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Rewarding
• Time-limited
![Page 24: Boost Your Mood Week 1 Let’s Talk Course. Welcome Housekeeping -fire exits, toilets, refreshments Introductions, who we are Questionnaires – which questionnaires?](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e165503460f94b00747/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
SMART Goals
• Specific – Make you goal specific enough so you know exactly what you are working towards i.e. two sessions of exercise a week.
• Measurable – Make you goal measurable, that way you know when you have achieved them i.e. exercise sessions last for twenty minutes.
• Achievable – Make your goal realistic!
![Page 25: Boost Your Mood Week 1 Let’s Talk Course. Welcome Housekeeping -fire exits, toilets, refreshments Introductions, who we are Questionnaires – which questionnaires?](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e165503460f94b00747/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
SMART Goals
• Rewarding – Make you goal fun and enjoyable, if you don’t find it rewarding it is much harder to keep it going i.e. going to a dance class may be more rewarding than going for a run.
• Time-limited – Set yourself a time-limit by when you want to achieve your goal. Without a deadline it is easy to lose motivation.
