I want you to take a little trip down memory lane. Go back . . . way back; back to when you had a sparkle in your eye, a smile on your face and a pipe dream in your head.
How’d that work out for you?
If you’re like me, it didn’t work . . . at least not the way you expected it to. And that’s okay.
Now, you’re a midlife woman. Your life has changed. You still have dreams, but now you know the key to achieving the things you want.
You have goals. And not just any goals — S.M.A.R.T goals:
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Timely/time-bound
You also know that a goal without a plan is just a wish.
You stopped wishing and started making goals. I am so damn impressed with you.
Trying hard to reach a balance. I want to set realistic goals without losing my hopeful wishes.
It can be difficult sometimes, Karen. But when we follow the S.M.A.R.T. model, we reign ourselves in and make better choices as to what goals we want to achieve.
