As springtime approaches, many people have good intentions of improving their health & fitness. Goal setting can be a useful tool to help keep you accountable and increase the likelihood of meeting your goals. However, it’s important to set goals that focus on behaviours (such as walking for 20 minutes each day or including a serving of vegetables with each meal) rather than outcomes (such as losing 10 pounds or attaining a certain clothing size). This way you won’t be wasting your energy on factors outside of your control and actually be focusing on the things you can. Happy goal setting!
