Happy New Year! I wanted to check in and let you know I’m still around. Actually one of my resolutions this year was to give you more updated information on what’s happening in the self-help area so I’ve been reading a lot! I haven’t gotten in enough Genius Mindset yet to actually get on track with my resolutions – but I’m working on it! Here are a few things to consider as you make your own resolutions:
Does it seem to you that those resolutions seem like a good thing when you make them; and then they’re much harder than you thought they would be?
If you decided to lose weight this year you may be looking to sign up for a gym membership. Have you done that before? In the words of Dr. Phil – “How’s that working out for you?” That new year’s resolution may come – and go – each year because it’s just a lot of work to get yourself psyched up to even go for a walk. But you don’t really need to go to extremes with this resolution. Just make a commitment of about 10 minutes a day. Even getting up a little earlier and doing a few stretches will go a little way. And in fact, if you just take a moment to breathe and stretch after you get off work you might find enough renewed energy to go for that walk!
OK, so maybe I’ve been watching too much TV during my Holiday time off – but I was also watching Dr. Oz the other day and he was interviewing Tony Horton about his TenMinute Workout
My other resolutions are probably a lot like yours. A good one is to stop procrastinating – I’ve already accomplished some of that this year by always putting the dishes that are in the drainer away before adding new ones. But I won’t give up my title of Extreme Dish Stacker – even if I don’t get to practice anymore!
Eating Right goes along with weight loss, but since you don’t eat when you’re exercising I think of it on its own. And then there’s always the goal of new Career Achievements and to make more money. . .
I could go on and but I’m sure you’ve made your own resolutions so I’ll end mine here. I wish you the best in the New Year and hope you accomplish all your goals this year!
