Part 2. Read the text carefully and answer the questions below (1.2pts)
Goal setting is a crucial process that involves careful consideration of what you want to accomplish
and requires persistent effort to make it a reality. Establishing goals give you a target to strive for
and helps to keep you motivated throughout the process. Goals also provide you with a focus and a
way to measure your progress and accomplishments.
In the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, setting realistic goals is the key to success. However, it is
important to be realistic with yourself when setting these goals. If you want to quit smoking, lose a
significant amount of weight, or run a marathon, it is unlikely to happen overnight, or even in a few
months or a year. Not reaching those goals might be discouraging and lead to giving up altogether.
To avoid feeling overwhelmed, it is advisable to start small and concentrate on one goal at a time. If
you want to lose weight, make small and achievable goals. For example, you can start by working
out at least three times a week or adding more vegetables to your meals when you want seconds.
By keeping a journal or using a tracking app on your phone, you can monitor your progress and
ensure that you stay on track. Once these small goals become part of your routine, you can
gradually add new goals, such as limiting eating out to twice a week or incorporating weightlifting
into your exercise routine. These small goals are easier to achieve and will eventually lead to
meeting your main goal.
