Example SMART Goal: My goal is to learn about crystals and what they represent. Over 13 weeks, I’ll spend an hour each week studying different crystals. By the end, I should be able to identify at least 15 crystals and explain what each one means.

Example Assessor: Teacher, guidance counselor, or community mentor interested in wellness practices

Example Log: Learned about three new crystals today: amethyst, rose quartz, and citrine. Also figured out how to cleanse them using moonlight. Starting a crystal journal next week!

Example SMART Goal: Yoga and meditation fit perfectly with my interest in mindfulness. My plan: practice for an hour each week over 13 weeks, tracking how long I can hold poses and how centered I feel afterward.
