Welcome to episode 81 of The Mindful Kind podcast, and the first episode of the Goal-Setting mini-series! This episode is all about meaningful goals, mindfulness and being SMART.  While goal setting isn't necessarily a mindful activity, we can bring elements of mindfulness into our goal setting practices (and I'll be sharing more about that over the next few episodes!).  Discover what happened with my goals of saving for a trip, creating a podcast and improving my health.  SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-based.  For example, "my goal is to drink 1 litre of water each day using a drink bottle I'll keep at my desk and replace one glass of orange juice with a glass of water. I will start this goal tomorrow and continue for one month."  Take the time to check in with how you feel about your goals for a mindful way to ensure your goals are aligned with you!
