S.M.A.R.T. Goals
This is the time of year when we are most motivated to make changes and set new goals. Unfortunately, most people have given up on those goals before Valentine’s Day. This happens because most of the goals are unrealistic or we have no plan for how to reach them. Here is a handy acronym I learned at a seminar over the weekend that will help you achieve your goals in 2012:
S is for Specific – be specific about what you want to accomplish. Ask yourself questions such as who, when, where and why.
M is for Measurable – How will you measure your goal? How will you know when you have accomplished it?
A is for Accountable – Share your goal(s) with family and friends. Post it on your Facebook Status. Let others know what you are doing so that they will offer encouragement and support!
R is for Realistic – What tools/gear will you need? Who will support and encourage you? What is the financial commitment?
T is for Timely – When will you accomplish this goal? If you say “Someday” it will surely never come. Pick a date and stay aware of it! Write it on the bathroom mirror, stick a note on the dashboard of your car, frame it on your desk at work. Keep it in your consciousness!
S.A.F.E Seminar 
On Saturday, January 21st we will be holding our FREE S.A.F.E. Seminar. S.A.F.E. Stands for Sexual Assault Fundamental Escapes. This seminar is FREE and open to the community. We encourage you to come, even if you have attended previous seminars. Here are some important facts for you to know:
- In 2000, 246,000 women survived rape and/or sexual assault …28 women every hour
- 1 in 4 college women report surviving rape (15%) or attempted rape (12%) since their fourteenth birthday
- 78% of sexual assaults were committed by non-strangers (friend, acquaintance, intimate partners or relatives); strangers committed only 22%
- 57% of rapes happen on dates
- More than half of all rape and sexual assault incidents occurred within one mile of the survivor’s home or in her home
Please pass this information on to friends and family and let them know that they are welcome to join us for this very important event! Stop by the front desk or call to register today – space is limited!
