"When making changes, try not to make several at once. Choose small, reachable goals at first to establish the pattern or habit. Set a goal that's specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-limited. Setting a time limit is important as it gives you an endpoint at which you can evaluate the results."— Peggy J. Moreland, M.S., R.N. |
