Put God in charge of your work, then what you've planned will take place. Proverbs 16:3 MSG
Setting goals is a spiritual discipline. Goals stretch you and help you become all God wants you to be. Setting goals will give a destination for your vision. Move forward toward health in all areas of life by creating SMART goals (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound) in response to your results from the 5 Essentials survey.
Specific goals are clear. Tell your brain exactly what is expected and why it's important. A specific goal usually answers who, what, when, where, why.
Measurable emphasizes tangible benchmarks. If a goal is not measurable, it is not possible to know whether you are making progress. A measurable goal usually answers how much and by when.
Attainable means the goals need to be realistic, even though dreams can be big. Extreme goals usually invite failure and frustration.
Relevant means you choose goals that matter and answer yes to these questions: Does this seem worthwhile? Is this the right time? Does this match your other efforts/needs? Being relevant also means your goals are relevant to God and bring him glory. Any goal that brings you closer to him and makes you want to serve him and others is a goal that matters.
Time-bound emphasizes attaining the goal within a certain time frame. A deadline helps you focus on completion of the goal on or before the due date.
Once you've determined your SMART goals, share them with a friend. People getting healthy together lose twice as much weight as those who do it alone. That success dramatically increases when you are connected with others, receiving constant encouragement.
