List potential life obstacles and how you’ll overcome them:

Sometimes life is unpredictable and we run into obstacles that impact reaching our goals: work constraints, family

distractions, lack of motivation, bad weather, etc. Are there any potential life obstacles that may prevent you from

reaching your goal? If so, think about ways you can overcome them. Things like asking for help and setting extra “goal

time” could be options.

List people you can ask for help:

Reaching your goals on time may be easier if you ask for a little bit of help along the way. Who can you count on for

support? Think of those close to you who may be willing to help. Friends, family members, coworkers, teammates, etc.

List their names and write down how you think each can help you succeed. Leave the second column blank and ask

your doctor for suggestions during your next office visit.

List your milestones and rewards:

Setting milestones and rewarding yourself for meeting them is a great way to stay motivated. Go ahead and set a few

milestones, dates, and rewards. If your goal is a month away, consider setting a milestone for when you’re halfway there.

If your goal is a few months away, consider setting a milestone once a month.
