Year's resolutions, all right.

And how often do we actually achieve those? But what I wanna challenge you, your listeners to think about is, all right, I've got a one year goal, but in order to achieve that one year goal, have I set one month goals? And to achieve those one month goals, have I set one week goals or even goals for today? And if they have thought of goals, I want them to send it through on the text line, share, okay, this is what I want to do today, this week, this month, maybe this year to achieve.

So let's break down a good way of structuring your goals so that you're more likely to achieve them.

And the acronym that's commonly used is the SMART acronym.

S-M-A-R-T.

So the S in SMART stands for specific.

Why is this so?

When it comes to motivation, if we're moving forward and we're trying to work out those things, getting out of bed, juggling life and the issues, what's the next step that we need to think about why we may lose motivation

or what may... that really mean? Okay.

Yep.

So, so really what we want to do when we're talking about motivation is that we are trying to not let the world and our circumstance dictate our motivation, but to actually put ourselves into positions where we motivate ourselves.

All right.

So it's very often people have, um, what's the word? Uh, Their issue with motivation is that it's just all about feelings and feelings aren't reliable.

Well, that's where self-management and self-regulation come into place.

Can you paint us a picture of how that ties into that concept of motivation and maybe take us on that journey as we close this out?
