Having SMART goals will help you to commit to a motivated life.
Remember that you are in the driver’s seat. Through owning your choices and actions and being consistent, your motivation will grow and increase as you progress.
At times it’s difficult to stick with the choices you make. Please be gentle with yourself, acknowledge your efforts, and celebrate your successes no matter how small. It may also be helpful to ask others for support.
In setting your wellness goals, you are choosing to develop new habits and letting go of old ones that no longer work for you. Small consistent steps can have lasting positive change in your life. If you find your short-term goals are too hard, please go back and review them together with your mental health clinician.
If you skip day(s) from your new routine, that’s okay. You can continue today.
Getting Going/Started
Start from 10 and count backwards till you get to 1 and begin your day or activity. e.g. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 … and get out of bed
Change your Posture
Sitting or standing with your spine upright and shoulders back (rather than slouched) allows you to breathe deeper, get your energy moving and helps change your focus.
Use SMART Goals
Will help your motivation to follow through and maintain your energy. If you haven’t yet, start today.
Use Prompts
Use visual, electronic, or verbal prompts to start or be reminded of an activity. e.g. activate your phone app to remind you to drink water or go for a walk.
Move your body
Choose to do some physical activity you like each day. Moving your body helps you feel well.
