Making and meeting your own health care goals can help you to stay strong and healthy, both as a person and as a family caregiver. Putting off making your own health goals can keep you in an Caregiver-in-Clark-County-VAunhealthy situation that will only get worse over time.

Start with a Goal

If you haven’t given your own health goals much thought, it’s a good idea to sit down and think through some that you want to achieve. One of your goals might be to get more sleep, to eat healthier, or to lose a few pounds. Try making a list of goals and then you can go through them later and determine which ones you want to focus on first.

Make Sure it’s an Attainable Goal

It’s a good idea to start with your doctor to make sure that you’re in good enough health to make the changes that you want to make. Your doctor can also give you tips and action steps that you might need to focus on in order to start the path toward reaching your goal. Once you have the “all clear,” you can start looking at how to get where you want to go.

Brainstorm Some Action Steps

Sit down and write out a list of different action steps you can take in order to reach your goal. Don’t worry about whether you want to take these steps just yet. It’s important to first get a list of steps on paper so that you can see which ones are reasonable and which ones are not going to work for you.

Break the Steps Down if You Have To

After you have a list of action steps, you can see where you can break them down further into smaller steps that are easier for you to conquer. With every little step forward, you’re that much closer to meeting your goals. Before you know it, you’re all the way to your goal and it didn’t take as much work as you thought that it did because you made a plan.

This process can work for all of your goals, of course, but your own health needs to be a priority.
