SMART Goals – Setting Goals Effectively
Plenty of people talk about goals (and many more don’t), but few understand how the mind actually interprets the goals we give it.
In a nutshell, the mind doesn’t handle vagueness well. Tell it that your goal is to “lose weight” or “get more organised” and your mind will struggle to help you at all. On the other hand, if you build a clear, defined vision of what you want to achieve, your mind will work out ways to help you achieve your goals more easily.

If you have trouble saying no to unhealthy food, it will continue to play a significant part in your diet.
