Ever set a health goal like “I want to get healthier”—only to lose steam a week later? You’re not alone. The problem isn’t your motivation, it’s how the goal is framed. In this short and practical episode, I’ll walk you through the SMART method for goal setting—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound—so you can finally set goals that stick.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why vague health goals don’t work (and what to do instead)
  • The 5 parts of the SMART acronym and how to apply each one
  • A real-life example of turning “I want to exercise more” into a SMART health goal
  • How to rewrite your own goals so they’re clear, doable, and motivating

Why This Matters:
SMART goals give you structure, accountability, and motivation—so you can actually follow through and see results in your health.

Next Step for You:
Pick one area of your health you’d like to improve—whether it’s sleep, movement, nutrition, hydration, or stress—and rewrite your goal using the SMART framework. Small, SMART steps can lead to big, lasting change.
