SMART Goals
SMART Goals
Over the years, we tend to get into unhelpful thinking habits, and
think negatively about ourselves and situations. Using positive
statements can help us develop a new attitude to ourselves and
our situations.
Choose a statement from those below, or make one that means more to you, and
repeat, repeat, repeat throughout the day, every day, of every week, of every
month. You might want to make or print out a card with your affirmation, and
carry it with you. For the positive affirmations to work, you must use it whenever
you notice you have that negative thought – immediately turn it around by using
your affirmation.
Use a statement that starts with “I” and use the present tense. See the examples
below – choose one, adapt one, or make up your own. Make it something
broadly realistic, even if you don’t believe it right now.
I am strong
I have strength
I am determined and successful
I am a good and worthwhile person
I am a unique and special person
I have inner strength and resources
I am confident and competent
I hold my head up high
I look good because I am good
People like me – I am a likeable person and I like myself
I care about others, I am needed and worthwhile
I am a loving person
I have a lot to be proud of
I have all that I need
I am in control of my life
I can achieve anything I want to achieve
I make wise decisions based on what I know
I’m moving towards my goals
I accept myself as a unique and worthwhile person
My life has meaning and purpose
I am in control of my choices
I am strong and healthy
I am calm and confident
I have many options and can make wise decisions
Everything is getting better every day
I am calm and relaxed
I am healthy and have all that I need
Today is the first day of the rest of my life and I will take notice of the
many positive things this day has to offer
I live a healthy and positive lifestyle
I know I can master anything if I practice it continually
I have my wise mind – I can seek inner guidance whenever I need to
My life purpose can be whatever I choose it to be
All is well, right here, right now

do better in some areas?”
What I have achieved (or done well) Some areas for improvement

Set some goals for yourself for the next 3 to 6 months. Be specific. What would
you like to achieve? What would you like to see happening in your life? How would
you like to change? (Remember to make your goals realistic — that means that they
should be achievable within the time frame you have set).
