Happy New Year! I'm sure you are hearing or reading things everywhere that tout, "New Year, New You!" or "Start Fresh!" or something similar. Does it resonate with you or annoy you? I said it last year around this time, but I'm not big on the "New Year Resolutions." You should be thinking about the whole year ahead of you and what you want to happen. "All Year Resolutions." I guess I get a little frustrated and saddened that people start out gung-ho and stop by the end of January because they are already burnt out. OR, that people will "wait" until a new calendar year starts to make a change. Why?! You can start changing your life for the better any time--- now, one minute from now, whatever. It doesn't have to be January 1.
I hope you've thought about what you want in the next few months or by the end of this year. That's a start. Then, you need to figure out HOW to get to those goals. Remember that anything worth having and keeping for the long term takes time. Remember that you may have to start over a million times because obstacles get in your way. One foot in front of the next until you get closer and closer to where you want to be. I can't remember any time that someone was just handed a better body or a magic nutrition plan. It's work....
So, take out your brand new 2014 calendar and set a few reachable goals. Dust off your pants one size down and try them on every so often-- you may fit into them by summer!
This year is what you make it.
