This post “Better self-esteem: How to make goals specific” continues with how you can increase your self-esteem by achieving your resolutions and goals.

 

Better self-esteem: How to make goals specific:

Last post introduced the SMART model to get in a desired direction.

The model stands for 5 important characteristics that can help you detail and hence make it easier to identify and achieve motivating goals:

Specific

Measurable

Achievable

Relevant

Time Limited

This post is about how important it is to make you goals specific:

Goals should be concrete and reflect how life will be when you have reached your goal.

Remember to use active words that express your desired state.

The goal ‘better sleep’ is a start, but ‘feeling rested’ is even more concrete because it describes an experience and is easier to evaluate.
