New Year's resolution
Tuesday, January 2, 2007
Ah yes, the infamous New Year's Resolution – we have had many over the years and we have all failed at many as well. I say keep trying don't stop trying because if you are putting energy into something good you are on the right track. We have to look at things at all angles not just the most common way or the most popularWe are all different and have our strong and weak points. It is your strong points that make up the positive part of you so focus on that and use it to help you with your weak ones.
Definition of resolution = finding a solution to a problem / a decision to do something or to behave in a certain manner
The most common Resolution:
weight loss / getting fit is one of the most popular New Year's resolutions. Setting reasonable goals and staying focused are the two most important factors according to most websites
THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE
I believe YOU MUST look at your weight issue differently!
Be positive
look at what you want your ideal weight to be
write down your ideal weight and find a picture of yourself or a picture of a physique and place it where you see it in the morning and at night before you go to bed this is an incredible way to stay focused on what you want not what you don't want.
take the word LOSS out of your vocabulary – if you focus on loss you will always be trying to lose weight – focus on the ideal weight for you .
Create a plan of how you will achieve this goal. If you look at getting fit and that means being 30 pounds lighter then plan on 1 pound a week and in 30 weeks you will have achieved your goal. The quick way is unhealthy and is not long lasting you will most likely gain back the weight and more .
Write down your plan, and read it everyday – it might seem a bit silly but if you read your plan once when you wake up and once before you go to bed this will keep your mind on the goal you are trying to attain.
Start now not tomorrow. Forget the I can't today because I have to take Johnny to the arena or Kim to piano lessons and then back home to cook dinner and laundry and then and then and then. START NOW for YOU!!!! We all have 24 hours in a day and we can all make the time if we choose to!!!!! Take the word can't out of your vocabulary too . It is a negative and if you say can't you most certainly can't! YES YOU CAN!!!!
Be flexible . LIFE HAPPENS..... You might be gung ho and everything is going great for 3 weeks then for a week you are off your routine and start to think maybe I will try this again next year....STOP.....Re read your goals !!! We all get off track but we can easily get back on – life is a journey and it is a happy, enjoyable one if you let be.
Last but not least if you have not watched the movie "THE SECRET" I urge you to do so – it will change your life and ideas of how to attain the things you really want in you life...... Have an abundant New Year in 2007.....thanks for reading.. Greg Foster
Inspirational saying : It's not what happens to you, It's what you do about it!
