Set yourself realistic and achievable targets. Be wary of being too ‘driven’ or ‘ambition-orientated’ when setting your targets. For example, if you have not worked for several years, it would be better to set yourself a target of taking up voluntary or part-time work, rather than a full-time job. Or, if you have not walked much for a long time, it is important to set moderate targets such as walking for fifteen minutes a day. Remember that you will be able to add new targets once your initial ones have been achieved; you shouldn’t bite off more than you can chew at the first attempt.
