I feel that this would be an important change in my life because, you're able to get in better shape, feel better about yourself, and do some fun outside activities that you enjoy. Like for me, I do really like to play football and play contact sports because you can run as much as you want and you sometimes get to make people fall over, which is sometimes pretty funny. SMART Goal: Starting June 6th, 2018 I will be more physically active, like for example, work out at least 3 times a week or 30 mins every day. Within that aspect, I will try to drink at least 100 fl oz of water a day The way that I will be able to achieve my SMART goal use goals that I am willing to achieve and are determined to achieve, also for the water I will make sure to substitute water rather than other sugary drinks.

    After a long deliberation I decided to do my behavior modification project on my unhealthy eating habits. There are many meaningful reasons why I choose this as my behavior to modify. I want to kick start a healthy lifestyle change by eating healthier and being more active. Another upside to modifying this behavior is too hopefully *fingers crossed* lose a few unwanted pounds.

I have high hopes that I can achieve all of these goals by cutting out junk food and sweets and replacing those items with nutritious and balanced food.

  • Importance Of SMART Goals On Mental Health

    The SMART goal I set for myself was to eat healthier by the end of the semester. In the early part of this semester, I was successful. I gathered information on foods that would be good for me to eat and snack on throughout the day and I had my grocery list written before I went into the store to not get sidetracked. However, as the semester progressed my eating habits lacked and no longer went to get groceries and often forgot to eat if I did not set a reminder or my grandmother brought food. I was not successful in meeting my SMART goal. One of the barriers I believe that kept me from reading my goal was my constant anxiety over school and life in general. I found myself often worrying over those things and not really feeding myself until

    When I first signed up for my health coach session I immediately thought that I was going to have to set a weight loss goal, a goal to drink more water or exercise more often. When Caroline showed me the goal wheel with not only a physical section but sections such as mental, spiritual, social etc. I had a different goal in mind. I told her I’m always on the go and doing something and therefore stressed because I never take a moment to relax so she had the idea of a goal for me to “be more mindful”. I thought it was pretty easy to complete the peer coaches’’ suggestions. The SMART goal setting worksheet made it easy to follow because they were specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely. I would make a suggestion on how I was going

    Physical activity is my weakest area. I only exercised one day of the week and the plan was for six to seven days a week. The most successful and reasonable way that I can work my way up to my goal is to not jump in with both feet and think that I should be over exerting myself because I will lose interest. I enjoy classes such as yoga, spin class, or kickboxing which would be a great way to build up my energy and also be entertaining. Walking for thirty minutes a day is another way to effectively engage my body to be more

    ...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.

    My personal health has been something I constantly think about. Whether it’s myself, my parents, my doctor, or others that bring it up, I’m reminded that I need to eat healthier or exercise more, etc. I know that I need to get better about what I eat and try to work more exercise into my daily routine, I just find it hard to find the motivation to go and actually accomplish what I know that I need to do. Especially in today’s society where we’re surrounded by a lot of non-healthy food, and getting access to healthy food is more expensive than the latter, it’s hard to make the better choice and choose the healthy option. I’m hoping now that I’m in college that I’m able to get better at taking care of myself than I have in the past.
