Tiff Hall's tips for setting New Year's goals

Fitness and health coach Tiff Hall has given her tips for getting 2021 off to a healthier, happier start by setting achievable goals. 

"With 2021 on the horizon, it's the perfect time to set yourself some new goals – or dust off old ones," she notes on Instagram. 

"Maybe you want to learn how to do a chin up, or fit into a pair of jeans? Or is it mindfulness related – meditating a few times a week perhaps? It could even be as simple as smiling at more strangers, saving for a big holiday, or learning to cook!

"No matter what, writing down your goals is the first step toward reaching them. It not only makes them official, but keeps us accountable."

Here are six goal setting tips that work for Tiff:

1. Be realistic – challenge yourself, but don't think too big or you'll set yourself up to fail.

2. Reflect on old goals – what helped or hindered your progress?

3. Plan ahead – map out exactly how you're going to get there.

4. Break your big goals up into mini goals – small successes will keep you motivated.

5. Find an accountability buddy.

6. Decide how you're going to track your progress – journaling maybe?
