For each life domain, start by imagining how you want that area of your life to look in five years. Then work backward: what would you need to accomplish in one year to be on track? What could you start this month? Follow these three principles when writing your goals.

1. 1
   Make goals measurable. Replace vague intentions like 'get healthy' with specific targets like 'exercise four times per week and prepare home-cooked meals five nights a week.'
2. 2
   Focus on what is within your control. 'Get promoted' depends on others, but 'complete a professional certification course' depends on you.
3. 3
   Let your one-month and one-year goals serve as stepping stones toward the five-year vision. Each shorter goal should clearly support the longer-term direction.

This domain includes friendships, social activities, community involvement, and building a support network. Consider: How connected and supported do you want to feel? What kinds of relationships matter most to you?
