How to stay on top of your wellness goals 

Now is the perfect time to shake up your health and fitness goals for a brighter outlook.

In winter, it’s easy to feel unmotivated, default to hibernating indoors and lose sight of your wellness goals.

If this sounds like you, you’re definitely not alone.

But now is a great time to shake off the chill and reconnect with your goals for a brighter, spring-ready state of mind.

4 common wellness goals to get back on track with

Wellness goals are as individual as the person who makes them.

But here are four popular goals that may strike a chord.

#1: Healthy eating

This means eating a wide variety of nutritious foods from the five food groups every day and drinking plenty of water.

#2: Regular exercise

Aim to get in at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week.

#3: Manage stress

Learn how to boost your ability to cope by practising relaxation techniques such as mindfulness, yoga, meditation, slow breathing and progressive muscle relaxation.

#4: Quality sleep

Sleep needs vary, depending on factors such as age and genetics, but as a guide, it is recommended that adults get seven to nine hours of sleep a night.

How to achieve your wellness goals

Having a clear plan can make a difference to achieving your wellness goals.

Set yourself up for success with SMART goals.

These are goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound.

Here are some tips:

Be specific

Vague goals are hard to achieve. Instead of saying, for example, “I want to eat healthier”, say, “I will eat a salad for lunch three times a week”.

Measure your progress

Keep track of your results to stay motivated. Use a journal or an app to log your meals, workouts and mindfulness practices.

Make them achievable

Set realistic goals that fit your lifestyle. If you’re new to exercise, start with short, manageable workouts.

Make them relevant

This can make you feel more connected to them and therefore more motivated to achieve them.

Set a time frame

Give yourself a deadline to work towards, to create a sense of urgency and commitment.
