New Year’s Resolutions

It’s that time of the year when many of us make New Year’s resolutions. Unfortunately, after only a few weeks our resolve wanes, the kids’ needs take priority or life gets in the way.

The good news is that you can make and keep your New Year’s resolutions. You just have to be S.M.A.R.T. about it.

S.M.A.R.T., an acronym for (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Sensitive), is a well-established tool that you can use to reach your resolutions/goals.

Here’s how it works. Let’s say your resolution is to work out more.

Specific: Do Pilates work out at Reform & Ride

Measurable: Do Pilates work out 3x a week on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays.

Achievable: Do Pilates work out 3x a week on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays at 10am after I drop the kids off at school.

Relevant: Do Pilates work out 3x a week on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays at 10am after I drop the kids off at school to improve my mental clarity, flexibility & destress.

Time Sensitive: Do Pilates work out 3x a week on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays at 10am after I drop the kids off at school to improve my mental clarity, flexibility & destress beginning January 10th, 2022.

Be mindful of setting resolutions/goals that are within your control. If your goal is to get that job you applied for at ABC company, someone else is in control of the hiring. What you can control is getting additional training, for example, to be considered for “that job”.

Remember when setting resolutions/goals, just be S.M.A.R.T. about it.
