Reflection journal
Reflect on your personal values and the importance of therapeutic communication and spiritual care for individuals and families across diverse settings. Address the moral, ethical, and legal aspects of nursing care in your response.
Consider this Nightingale quote to help you reflect: “Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation as any painter’s or sculptor’s work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God’s spirit? It is one of the Fine Arts: I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts.”
— Florence Nightingale, first published as a eulogy to an unnamed nurse in Good Words

Writing SMART Goals Format
Assessing Your Readiness for Healthy Change
Use this example as a guide to help you break down your long-term outcome goals into specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and
time-bound (SMART) behavior goals.
Most people start with an outcome goal. An example of an outcome goal is: “The overall goal I want to reach is to live healthier
and lose two inches around my waist.”
To reach an outcome, you must have behavior goals. For example: “I will walk five days a week for 30-60 minutes a day.”
The chart below shows a brainstorming process to break the behavior goal down to a weekly SMART goal.
This is an example of what the final weekly SMART goal might be: “This week I will walk 15 minutes a day at a brisk pace
for three days.”
Goal Component Example
SPECIFIC
What, when, where, and how will the behavior
be done?
I will walk regularly (at least five days a week) in the
morning to help me reduce inches around my waist.
MEASURABLE
How much, how many, and/or how often will you do
the behavior?
I will walk 30-60 minutes a day at a brisk pace five
days a week.
ATTAINABLE
What are your steps to meet or reach your goal?
Set your goal low enough to be reached but high
enough to be a challenge?
week and work up to 30 minutes a day for five days a
I will start walking 15 minutes a day for three days a
week. Seven days might be too high (no room for
not enough to help me lose inches.
unexpected events or illness). One day is too low and
RELEVANT
Is it the right behavior goal to help you meet your
overall outcome? Is it a good time in your life to be
setting this goal?
Now that my children are back in school and the
holidays are over I can start walking in the morning.
TIME BOUND-
Make sure your goal includes a specific time frame
in which you will achieve it.
I will increase my time each week by five minutes
until I reach 30 minutes a day. I will add an extra
day every two to four weeks until I reach 30-60
minutes for five days a week.
Now it is your turn. Write and track your weekly SMART goal.
