Welcome back to another episode of Chu this
3 65
your daily bite of wisdom and wellness.
I am tan, your guide on this journey.
And today, we're diving into the art of
goal setting and how mastering this skill can
help you achieve personal milestones.
So come on and friends get close and
comfortable in our cozy part of the Internet.
I call our podcast home where the pot
of tea is on and hot, and our
topic of discussions are warm and insightful. As
you begin to pause, and spend a few
moments with me today on this topic. I
sure do hope you have your soothing cup
of herbal tea in your hand. Because now
I'm gonna ask for you to ponder on
our question for today. What is 1 specific
goal you can set today that will bring
you closer to your personal or professional milestones?
Take a moment to reflect on this question,
consider how setting and achieving this goal can
transform your life.
We're gonna be exploring this topic together to
see how we can master goal setting.
While you're chewing on that, I wanna set
the tone for today's exploration of goal setting
with a simple yet powerful 3 word, quote,
dream,
plan,
achieve.
And just asking that you let these 3
words be a gentle reminder to turn your
dreams into actionable plans and achieve your milestones.
With that, my friends. Let's go ahead into
our topic for today, goal setting mastery,
achieving personal milestones.
Setting clear and achievable goals is crucial for
both personal and professional success. So now that
you have found a comfortable spot, let's go
ahead and explore effective goal setting techniques that
can transform your aspirations into reality.
Now the importance of goal setting. When I
speak of goal setting, this is a powerful
tool that provides direction,
motivation, and a clear road map for you
achieving your aspirations. By setting goals, you can
measure progress,
stay focused and maintain accountability.
It's not just about dreaming big,
but also about creating
actionable steps to make those dreams come true.
Now when it comes to our overall health,
I know you're saying, how does that relate
to our overall health, well, as a holistic
or health coach I just understand and know
that effective goal setting is essential for overall
wellness,
including that oral health, those big radiant bright,
healthy smiles.
Setting clear goals for your oral hygiene routine,
for example, such as regular brushing, floss and
dental check ups, can lead to better oral
health outcomes. And additionally, the discipline and focus
developer goal setting can enhance other aspects of
your well being.
By integrating goal setting into your routine of
life, you can support your mental
emotional and physical health
ensuring a holistic approach to wellness,
Emphasizing goal setting leads to a healthier or
happier you inside and out. I am gonna
share this 1 insightful resource on this topic
that I have before me a book that
I'm am presenting to you as an option
to read it is titled your best year
ever, a 5 step plan for achieving your
most important goals. The author of this book
is Michael Hyatt.
Again, the title of this book, your best
year ever, the subtitle, a 5 step plan
for achieving your most important goals
And again, the author is Michael Hyatt. I
chose this book because it provides practical advice
on setting and achieving goals
emphasizing the importance of clarity,
motivation, and action.
By understanding these fundamentals of goal setting, we
can start to make significant strides towards our
personal and professional milestones.
I am going to leave a summary of
this book for those of you who are
interested in the book, but just don't have
the time. I know our lives are so
busy packed with so many activities.
That I am gonna leave a summary for
you just so you can get a better
understanding of the book or grasp the book
for those of you who don't have time
to pick up and read this book or
listen to it on audible.
Now, I wanna go to another section, understanding
smart goals 1 of the most effective goal
setting frameworks is the smart Sm MART
criteria,
which stands for
specific,
measurable
achievable,
relevant and time bound.
Alright. I'm gonna break down each of these
components for you. Let's start with specific the
s
and smart,
specific, your goal should be clear and specific,
answering the questions of what, why and how.
For example,
instead of saying I want to get fit,
specify
and say I want to run A5K
race in 3 months to improve my fitness.
So we're gonna be very, very specific with
our goals. And number 2, measurable
that m is for measurable.
Define how you will measure progress and know
when the goal is achieved. This could be
through specific metrics
such as I will track by running distance
and time each week.
And number 3 achievable.
Ensure your goal is realistic and attainable given
your current resources and constraints.
It should challenge you will still be possible
We are... Sometimes can be over.
And when we set that bar too too
high, we might discourage us, and we wanna
be successful. Okay? So make sure that the
goals are achievable
and realistic
that are in the word smart is for
relevant
your goal should align with your broader objectives
and values.
Ask yourself why this goal matters and how
it fits into your larger plans.
And number 5,
time bound that t
and smart
represents time bound, set a clear deadline for
your goal to create a sense of urgency
and help prioritize your actions. For example,
I will complete the 5 k raised by
and then just give a specific date.
By using the smart criteria, you can create
goals that are well defined and actionable increasing
your chance of success,
and that's what we wanna be successful.
Now, we wanna go beyond those smart goals,
while the Sm
t smart goals are great starting points,
I do have additional strategies to enhance your
goal setting process.
I have 5 of those for you. Number
1, write down your goals.
By documenting your goals, this makes them tangible
and serves as a constant reminder of what
you're working towards.
On the second 1, break goes into smaller
steps. You know how about all that. Smaller
steps, look bite size,
Here we go with you on this 3
65. We want really nice bite size so
we can chew and digest them. A large
goals can be overwhelming. Break them into smaller
manageable task to maintain momentum and avoid burnout.
Number 3, visualize the success
use
visualization techniques to imagine achieving your goals. This
can boost your motivation and create a positive
mindset.
And that fourth 1 for you set milestones,
identify key milestones along the way to track
progress and celebrate small victories and that last
1 for you is accountability.
Share your goals with a friend, a mental
or accountability partner who can provide support and
encouragement. You know I'm all about that who's
holding your ladder. So go ahead and share
those goals and be mindful with who you
share them with.
Incorporating these strategies and I just said before
you, these can help you stay focused motivated
and on track to achieve your goals.
So please be mindful of those and take
those in
and use them accordingly
as you see fit that will resonate with
you for success.

believe in the beauty of their dreams.
