smart goals help ensure success when changing habits. here's how to make sure your goals are smart

Setting SMART Goals for Success

Whether you're in the early stages of changing some habits to improve your health or trying to keep a new year's resolution on track, it's always a good time to ask yourself if you're setting SMART goals.

resilience can be built, and supportive relationships can make a difference

Resilience: What Is It, and How Can I Get More of It?

Resilience is defined as toughness, or "the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties." And in researcher language, it's "positive adaptation despite adversity."

Reflecting on What I Learned in Fall 2018

The practice of reflecting on what I've learned requires an intentional pause and often leads me to gratitude.

take small steps to change your lifestyle and your health

Take Small Steps to Create Habits

Sometimes the doctor delivers a diagnosis and says we must make changes now, or else. And other times, we simply know we need to do some things differently to improve our health. But maybe it's hard to get moving in the right direction. Changing how we eat feels burdensome. And starting an exercise routine seems overwhelming. So we procrastinate. Because it all seems so big.
