How To Set And Achieve Your Goals In 2023

In order to set and achieve your goals in the new year, it’s best to create a plan that is akin to a roadmap. It gives you a chance to consider where you are currently, what you’re wanting to achieve, and how to accomplish that.

The SMART goal formula can help keep you on track so you accomplish your goals:

Specific

When you’re setting a goal it helps to get as specific as possible. For example, you don’t want to just get in shape, you want to be able to run a 10K with your friends this year. Or you don’t want to just get stronger, you want to be able to bench your weight.

Measurable

How do you know you achieved your goal? It should be easily measurable, with milestones along the way. For example, maybe you run a 5K along the way, or track the weights you’re able to bench.

Achievable

This is where you have to strike a balance. You want to be honest with yourself, without being too down on yourself at the same time. Can you achieve this goal? Is it realistic for you? Make sure that it is something that you can and want to do.

Realistic

Make sure that your goal is something that you have the time and energy to be able to do. You want to take a look at the bigger picture of your life, and make sure that it’s something that can fit into the background.

Time-Bound

Give yourself a deadline for motivation and accountability. When you have a specific date or month that you want to accomplish your goal by, you’ll tend to push a little harder.

In order to best set yourself up for success, it may help to keep yourself focused on one goal at a time. If you try to do it all at once, you might find yourself distracted or overwhelmed.
