This week Leah and Jennifer continue with their three part series on how to Take Action in your life! The second part of the series deals with creating an action plan! Leah and Jen talk about how you need to start this process by coming up with goals that you want to achieve. And, the most important part of coming up with your goals is to make sure they are SMART goals! A SMART goal is:

Specific – Write down your goal, and get very specific. Don’t just say “I want to loose weight”, instead say “My goal is to drop 10 lbs.”

Measurable – Make sure your goal is set up in a way that  you can measure your success along the way! This will keep you motivated and on track!

Attainable – Make sure you can actually obtain your goal. You want it to be challenging but not overwhelming or non-attainable.

Rewarding – What is your reward for meeting the goal? If the goal is to spend more time with your family, the reward is obvious! But if your goal is to organize all your office files, you may want to consider rewarding yourself with a movie or a dinner out at a nice restaurant once you obtain the goal.

Timely – Do not set open ended goals. Make sure your goal has a start date and an end date. Otherwise it isn’t a goal, it is a wish or a dream.

Leah and Jen encourage you to start by setting mini-goals that you can achieve within 30 days.

On next week’s episode they will conclude the three part series by discussing how you can *work* your plan and stay motivated along the way! Be sure to tune in for this three part series. You won’t want to miss it!
