Clearly defined health goals enhance motivation by providing a clear focus and measurable outcomes. When individuals set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals, they chart a pathway to success, making accomplishments more tangible. The sense of progress from achieving small milestones reinforces commitment and drive. In contrast, vague goals can lead to disappointment and decreased motivation. Tracking progress toward these goals further fuels motivation and encourages perseverance, even in the face of challenges.
