The first part of goal setting it to define what it is you want to fix. Take time out to write what aspects of living with cancer are causing you emotional or psychological problems.
| 1) What emotional problem(s) are you facing? |
|
| 2) What impact is this having on you? |
|
| 3) What would you like to fix? |
|
| Having written down what it is you want to fix, you can write a SMART objective for each problem. |
 |
My objective(s) |
SPECIFIC
Try not to pick something too general. |
|
MEASURABLE
Think about how you will know you have achieved your goal. |
|
ATTAINABLE
This may be something that seems very small but could give you a sense of achievement. |
|
RELEVANT
Is it important to you? This can help you prioritise goals that you, not others, want to achieve. |
|
TIME–BOUND
Set a deadline for your goal. This helps you to be specific. |
