SMART Goals Framework
The SMART Goals Framework can greatly improve confidence by creating a clear path towards any goal. For instance, if a person's goal is to lose weight, a SMART goal could be 'I will lose 10 pounds in the next 3 months by exercising for at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week, and maintaining a healthy diet.' Each element of the goal is specific and measurable, making it easier to track progress and celebrate accomplishments. Achieving goals incrementally reinforces belief in one's capabilities, improving confidence over time.
