setting personal goals

o Short-term, long-term, general, SMART, behaviour, outcome • Outcome goals are long-term and depend on things other than lifestyle behaviour • Beginners should: o Begin with long-term goals in mind o Focus on SMART short-term behavioural objectives o Avoid frequent self-assessments, focus on self-monitoring behaviour o Make short-term goals than move toward long-term goals • Experienced people should: o Start with SMART long-term goals o Use short-term SMART goals to accomplish long-term goals o Use self-assessments and self-monitoring to assess progress • Have maintenance goals once achieving things • Write down goals to formalize them • Establishing specific things that one wants to accomplish can provided a basis for feedback that the program is working • Self-management skill: Goal setting
