  • A Word On Motivation

    ByJarrat Wood

    Recent discussions with clients have lead me to revisit the importance of goal-setting and planning. You have probably all heard of the SMART principle which states that goals should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-Bound. When I conduct Certificate IV Fitness Courses this is the principle that we teach our students to use for developing goals for clients. This is a great system. It’s memorable and easy to apply and you can cross-check your goal with each of the 5 points to ensure that it is an appropriate goal. Once we have a goal set we can then work backwards to develop a plan that will deliver the client to the goal. Where I have found that this principle runs into trouble is when the goal does not provide sufficient motivation for the client to undertake the necessary changes in their lifestyle to achieve the goal. So our goal can be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound but if motivation is poor then our goal can easily slip by. Which brings me to my concerns over the word “motivation” and our reliance on someone or something providing the motivation for us?

  • Reflecting on Mental Illness

    ByJarrat Wood

    For people who have never experienced psychiatric or psychological disturbance it can be difficult to know how to react when a friend or family member is diagnosed with a mental illness. It is no longer considered fashionable to run away, respond with an exclamation of horror, attempt to cast out potentially problematic demons, or arrange to have the afflicted person permanently removed from society and the family tree. To be fair, people are now generally more informed and compassionate about mental health problems. Despite this, even the most well meaning person can make the most unhelpful comments when talking to a friend or family member who experiences mental illness. In Mental Health Week I thought it might be useful to reflect upon some of the less than helpful comments I have encountered in relation to mental illness. Here are 10 examples and some reflections that give a cutting insight into the the effect certain comments can have:
