Why use SMARTIE goals and implementation intentions for effective goal-setting?

Actively refining SMARTIE goals and crafting implementation intentions creates a roadmap for success, enhancing your ability to overcome challenges and maintain motivation when building your new eating pattern.

How do I get my SMARTIE goals and my implementation intention on point?

SMARTIE goals refinement:

  1. Clear definition: Articulate motivating, realistic goals with clarity and precision meeting all SMARTIE criteria.
  2. Self-reflection: Assess and communicate goals, ensuring a deep personal understanding.
  3. Self-evaluation: Regularly review and adapt goals based on personal progress and challenges.

Crafting implementation intention:

  1. Anticipate challenges: Reflect on potential hurdles and proactively brainstorm solutions.
  2. Self-Guided approach: Independently devise alternative behaviors for challenging situations.
  3. Visualization techniques: Embrace visualization independently to reinforce successful implementation.
  4. Written commitment: Document intentions for tangible commitment and a personal reference.
