Setting activity goals is a great way to improve your health and well-being. But not all goals are created equal! Specific and achievable goals are far more likely to lead to success. A specific goal clearly defines what you want to accomplish, while an achievable goal is one that you can realistically attain with your current resources and motivation. Without these elements, goals can feel overwhelming and lead to discouragement.
Match the term with the correct definition:
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1. Specific | A. Possible to accomplish successfully. |
| 2. Achievable | B. A desired result or purpose toward which effort is directed. |
| 3. Goal | C. Clearly defined or identified. |
| 4. Motivation | D. To establish or formulate a plan. |
| 5. Set | E. The reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way. |
(Match the numbers with the letters)
