Goal Setting - Woot!

Hello there friends!

2012 is around the corner, wahoo!  I'm so excited for a new year full of friends, family, love, and good times in our amazing mountain town. 

One thing that I really believe in for creating a successful, fulfilling life is goal setting.  There is an art to goal setting - I am personally a fan of SMART goals.  These are goals that are
S - Specific
M - Measurable
A - Attainable
R - Realistic
T - Timely
... smart!  This is a system to help you achieve the things you actually want.  This system is real and it works.  You should also write down your goals.  Writing goals down helps you solidify them in your mind and gives you the opportunity to create your timeline, how you will measure the goal, etc.  Writing goals basically helps you create a "game plan" with the SMART system.

Sharing goals with friends is another great way to stay on course.  Sharing goals with friends makes them more "real" - mainly because you are making your goals known, and have an opportunity to be held accountable.

I'm pretty out of commission this week - I'm sick with a head cold that's going around my work.  Boo!  So in 2012, expect some blog posts about my personal goals. 

What are your goals?  What do you want to achieve in 2012 - personally, professionally, fitness goals, etc?  Please feel free to share, and start the accountability now!

Best,
J
