Goals are an excellent way to be mentally active, because you'll always have it there and you'll do things on a daily or consistently to achieve it. Goals can also just be because there is something that you want or want to do to better yourself. We leaned about the SMART Goal; S-Specific, the goal should be clear and specific; M-Measurable, important to track your goals and stay motivated; A-Achievable, it's to be attainable and realistic; R-Relevant make sure your goal matters to you; T-Time Bound, every goal needs a target date or finish line, it keeps focus.
