Recommended: Smart goals for yourself

Three of my personal SMART goals would be Specific, Measurable, and Realistic. Being Specific is a must because I have learned that whatever you put your mind to do, you can do it. If I want to make an “A” in University Success, then I know I must do my work and push to make that “A” rather than saying I want a good grade. Specific goes along with my reason for attending college. I have specific goals in life that I would love to complete and therefore I have to do the work that comes along with it. Being Measurable allows me to stay on track with everything. With my life goals I know by the age of 23 no later than the age of 24 I would like to have my degree to work on bigger things , I set my target and this pushes me to have this completed.

I have experienced tumultuous and dysfunctional intimate relationships in my search for love, connectivity and identity. Now, as a mother, I am learning to give the love I never got.

    The final aspect of setting SMART goals is that they must be time bound. Simply, it is necessary to have a deadline for which the goal must be completed. If the deadline is a long way off, set hallmarks along the way. This will contribute to measuring your success and help you to keep moving toward the ultimate goal (KPW, 2010). For example, I only have financial aid for a specific amount of time which means that I must take the time that is needed to pursue my degree because my course has a specific target date as to when everything should be complete.

    Within my fifteen and a half years of living, I have experienced many heart wrenching moments that have changed who I am, so many that I stopped trying to keep count long ago. Like most teenagers, the past couple of years have been some of the most confusing, hectic years of my life. I'm at that age I'm trying to figure out who I am, as well as who I want to become.

Many of my friends have started smoking cigarettes while drinking at a very young age, and continue to use this drug currently and don’t realize the affect it has on their future. While I have been smart enough to avoid smoking, I haven’t been as wise at making decisions when it comes to drinking.

    An easy template to set these goals is to use the S.M.A.R.T goals outlined for us in our textbook. Goals need to be Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Realistic, and time based (9). One of my smart goals is to save at least $10.00 of every paycheck I get from my new job, so that at the end of the semester, I have $130 more dollars in my savings account. Another one of my smart goals is after graduation, to obtain a job outside of campus, so that I can save at least $50.00 a month for six months to go towards paying off my student loans after the grace period, so I would have at least $1,000 dollars towards paying off my loans. Finally, my longest-term goal is to keep track of my budget for the rest of my life, spend smart and do not get into any more debt than I have to, so that I can live a happy debt free life.

  • Wellness Reflection Essay

    ...e very important. When these goals are specific, measureable, attainable, realistic and timely they are the most effective. When I set my SMART goal in order to increase my physical activity, the goal was to feel better about myself and to have a clearer mind so that I could do well with my studies this resulted in increasing my physical health and wellness. There were a few challenges of having to force myself to get out of bed even though I was feeling really anxious. I think when making a SMART goal and changing that particular behaviour there will be changes that need to be faced and overcome. These might include psychological, family and work commitments, health challenges and many other duties. Motivation and time management therefore need to be considered when making a SMART goal to make this possible and therefore can succeed in their new behaviour change.

The issue can be how to achieve goals in a successful manner. The issue is "Although people may desire or intend to attain some outcome, they are not committed to that as a goal until they are willing to invest affect, cognition, and behavior in attaining it" (Traci Mann, 2013). This is why it is important to have a set path on how to accomplish important goals. I have chosen three goals that I want to accomplish to demonstrate a Process known as SMART, to help accomplish them. There goals are that I want to finally earn a college degree(personal), I want to make it into the honor society while earning my degree(academic), and I want to earn my degree in order to contribute to Autism research(professional).
