laws?
 Parental Approval –
Would my parents
approve of this

Spilled Water
Example


H- Am I putting anyone
at a health risk by
leaving this water here?
E- Would I want
someone to leave
spilled water out?
L- Am I breaking any
laws? Am I breaking any
house/school rules?
P- Will my parents be
upset if they see this
spilled water sitting
here?
 Values
beliefs, attitudes, and ideas.
Responsible decisions will reflect values.
 Decisions
that don’t reflect values can result
in feelings of anxiety or stress.
 When
the appropriate steps have been taken
to make a responsible decision, you can have
confidence and feel good about the decision.
 Make
the decision and move forward
 Reflect
on what happened after the decision
was made
 What did you learn?
 Would you make the same decision?
 If not, what would you change?
 Goal-Something
you aim for that takes
planning and work.
 Two types of goals


Short Term Goals
-Goal that can be reached in a short amount of
time. (1 day to a couple weeks)
Long Term Goals
-Goal that can be reached in an extended period
of time. (A couple months to a year or longer)
 Action
Plan-Multistep strategy to identify
and achieve your goals.
SMART GOALS
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Timely
Pick 1 goal that you have a desire to fulfill. Pick
a goal in an area in your life where you
struggle. Think back to your Health Triangle!
As we go through the next few slides, keep your
goal in mind.
 Clearly
defines what you are going to do
 Identifies the What, Why and How



What you are going to do? Use action words such
as direct, coordinate, organize, lead, develop,
etc.
Why you are going to accomplish this goal?
How are you going to do it? (By……)
Example:
I want to be more fit so I am able to ride my
mountain bike up Puke Hill and will do this by
doing cardiovascular exercise (bike or run) at
least 4 times a week for at least 30 minutes.
 If
you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.
 Example: “I want to read 3 books of 100+
pages before my birthday” shows a specific
target to be measured. A goal of “I want to
be a good reader” is not measureable.
 Establish concrete criteria for measuring a
goal. Achievement energizes effort.
Example:
I will be able to ride my mountain bike up Puke
Hill without getting off my bike or stopping
to rest.
 Goals
that are out of reach will be difficult
to commit to.
 A goal needs to stretch you slightly while
maintaining achievability.
 The feeling of success helps to maintain
motivation.
Example:
I can ride up the trail in the lowest gear
because the trail is smooth.
 Realistic
means that it is “DO-ABLE”.
 A goal to swim the English Channel may not
be realistic if you have no way or plans to
travel to England.
 All the tools needed to achieve the goal must
be available.
Example:
I have ridden by bike half way up Puke Hill
without stopping already.
 Set
a time frame for the goal.
 Putting an end point gives you a clear target
for achievement.
 If you don’t set time, the commitment is to
vague.
 Time also creates urgency.
 Time must also be measureable, attainable
and realistic.
Example:
I will do this before October 31st, 2013.
