class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great example of a mental health goal would be practicing mindfulness meditation for 10 minutes daily for the next month to reduce stress and improve focus.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_6_months_a_short-term_goal\"><\/span><strong>Is 6 months a short-term goal?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In many cases, a short-term goal lasts up to 6 months, while long-term goals typically start at about 6 months. Therefore, a 6-month goal can be either long-term or short-term.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_write_my_short-term_goals\"><\/span><strong>How do I write my short-term goals?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the SMART framework is a great way to create short-term goals for physical wellness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Specific\"><\/span><b>Specific<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with a particular goal, like gaining strength or losing weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Measurable\"><\/span><b>Measurable<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your goal needs to be quantifiable. For instance, instead of \u201cI want to lose weight,\u201d choose \u201cI want to lose 10 pounds.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Achievable\"><\/span><b>Achievable<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all want to make significant changes quickly, but it\u2019s essential to set goals that you can achieve within the allotted time frame.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, set a realistic goal to lose 1 \u2013 2 pounds per week instead of something impossible, like trying to lose 10 pounds in a single week.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Relevant\"><\/span><b>Relevant<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your goal-setting should align with your overall health goals.
