Let’s be real- everyone wants something. Any age, every gender, all backgrounds- there’s a desire or at least a dream within us all.

Clear and concise targets are critical for goal setting, so instead of a blanket statement of “healthy,” state something like “I want to lose 10 pounds,” or “I want to get off my blood pressure medication.”

2. Write down your goals & REVIEW THEM OFTEN

A recent study done by Professor Gail Matthews, PhD, of Dominican University, California concluded that writing down your goals increases the likelihood of achieving them by 42%.
