Do you want to lower your stress level quicker? 

In last week’s podcast, I shared a goal development format that will help you reduce stress in a short amount of time. When working with clients, I always encourage the use of the SMART goal format. SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-Bound. SMART goals may be used in life, education, and business.

I like SMART goals because they prevent vague goal setting. Here are examples of vague goals. “I want to lower my stress levels.”

TAKE THE QUIZ – Are you Blessed, Stressed or Burned Out?

New Year resolutions are interesting because we state what we want to achieve. Some focus on physical health. Others revolve around financial health, with actions like saving more or spending less money. I have known women who create spiritual health resolutions. They attempt to attend church more often or set aside dedicated prayer or meditation time.

For those of you who want and need stress relief, I am encouraging you to make it a priority.

To be successful, you need a plan that is easy and that works.

Our shared experiences include memories of unresolved hurts and issues from the past as well as past and present disagreements. These often overshadow the memories of pleasant and joyful experiences we shared together.
