Health and wellness goals are one of the best ideas to get started on your road to a healthier you. Β There is never a better time than summer to really push yourself to feel better, look better and have more energy. Β Instead of setting goals that you may or may not achieve — try to set a health and wellness goal. Β The wellness goal is action oriented and something that allows you to actually change your lifestyle and your life.
How to get started on your Summer Health and Wellness Goals:
Goals
- Decide on a goalΒ (What do you want your health and wellness goal to be)
- Make it a reasonable goalΒ Β (Please…quitting smoking or losing 50 pounds is not easy. Β Don’t set yourself up for failure.)
- Be specific in what your goal is and write it downΒ (Written goals are achieved because you see it, believe it and make it happen. Β Write the goal on your bathroom mirror so that you see it every day)
- Have the goal be action orientedΒ (Make the goal something you have to take action. Β For example, to lose 50 pounds I need to start a low glycemic diet and start walking 4 times a week) Β (Another goal might be, I would like to be healthier, so I will eliminate dairy and sugar from my diet)
Other Good Stuff
- Set a time frame to achieve your goalΒ (You can quit smoking in 1 day, but it takes 12 weeks at least to make it stick. Β As well, you can lose 50 pounds, but it will take 12 weeks. Β Make your time frame realistic.)
- Laugh & Love & ACTION.Β (This world is so defined by stress and fear, that we forget to enjoy the small things. Β Be sure to enjoy your health and wellness journey and don’t fear failure. Β Failure is the key to success, because you learn from it.)

Once you have achieved your first goal, you can advance and add a new goal.Β Each time you set new health and wellness goal for yourself, the next one could be little harder to achieve. Β This will give you the ability to challenge yourself a little more for each new goal. Writing down your wellnessΒ goals is important because it makes it more definite. Β It helps you to really get your wellness goal in motion.
What is your health and wellness goal going to be? Β Reduce stress? Lose weight? Relax? Look to create balance and don’t forget to smell the roses.
