Many people use the new year as a new beginning: A time to set \u201cNew Years Resolutions\u201d, goals, intentions or aspirations\u2026 whatever terminology you want to use\u2026 as long as it motivates you\u2026 call it what you like!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You see change happens in a moment, a moment you decide and commit to doing everything in your power to change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, most people fail to achieve the change they desire for one or more reasons, which include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lack of clarity about the change they desire<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not thinking through WHY they want to change (aka purpose)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poor strategic planning<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not reviewing their goals often enough<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lack of accountability (especially if you\u2019re someone who needs a high level of external accountability, like me!)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low motivation (dopamine is the neurochemical of motivation\u2026 low dopamine is caused by things like chronic stress, addictions, unhealthy diet, too much screen time)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not being resilient (mentally fit), committed, and determined when the going gets tough or life gets busy<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So for the rest of this newsletter, let\u2019s focus on the change you desire.

SMART is an acronym to help set clearer goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>S<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stands for <\/span><b>S<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pecific &#8211; what exactly do you want to change e.g. I want to travel to Iceland, I want to be happier, I want to learn to speak Spanish, I want to walk 500 miles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>M<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stands for <\/span><b>M<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">easurable &#8211; adding a numerical target is helpful as you will know when you get there and you\u2019ll be able to measure your progress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stands for <\/span><b>A<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chievable &#8211; it\u2019s good to set a goal that is a bit of a stretch, but it also needs to be achievable with your current resources. For example, for most of us, traveling into space is not achievable in 2022, but for a handful of billionaires, it is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>R<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stands for <\/span><b>R<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">elevant &#8211; it\u2019s good to set goals that are relevant to where you are heading in life in general. E.g. if you want to retire in 2023, you might want to set a goal to have your finances in good order by the end of 2022. However, sometimes it\u2019s ok to set a goal just for the sake of it, just because you want to. E.g. learning to Tango might not fit in with your major life goals, but it would be a fun thing to do, so why not!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>T<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stands for <\/span><b>T<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">imebound, meaning that you pick a date by which you will achieve your goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People who set goals, write them down, tell others and find some way to be kept accountable are much more likely to achieve their goals, and if they don\u2019t quite achieve their exact goals, they will be more successful in general than those who don\u2019t bother setting goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>2022 Words of Intention<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly a fun little challenge for 2022.
