Season’s greetings, everyone.
2008 is just around the corner, and I’ve no doubt that some of you have already begun making your New Year’s Resolutions. I have even less doubt that your New Year’s Resolution involves a change for the better, such as a lifestyle improvement or kicking a bad habit.
If you are one of those who took one of my programs as your New Year’s Resolution, then congratulations—you are on your way to living a healthier, happier life for 2008.
However, New Year’s Resolutions are notorious for failing even before the New Year has gotten off its feet. Many of us have trouble sticking to an unpleasant routine for a week, much less an entire year.
Setting goals is easy. Finding ways to achieve those goals is a bit trickier. But hardest of all is sticking to the method of achieving those goals. And the exercises in my programs, even if they’re extremely simple to do, won’t help you one bit if you don’t stick to the agenda.
So here’s a few tips to help you along your way.
1.)Write your goals down. Not having your goals in writing is like taking an interstate road trip without a road map. Having a list of your goals will make them easier to tweak, break down, and see whether or not they’re workable. For instance, if one of my programs requires you to do exercises every three days, you can choose the days when the routine won’t get in the way of your other responsibilities. Mark those days on the wall calendar, and they’ll be hard to miss.
2.)Keep them small and realistic. Break your goals down into smaller, doable mini-goals. A great way to do this is to achieve your goal a little each day. Make sure that when you go to bed at night, you’ll know that you managed to make a difference.
3.)Think positive. Instead of thinking to yourself, “Don’t you dare miss this exercise,” think, “Remember to do this exercise—it’s good for you.” You know how the negative things that other people say can easily drag you down—the same thing can happen if you’re too harsh on yourself. Stay positive and focused, and it’ll be easier to stick to your routine.
The best way to stay positive while following one of my programs would be to bookmark this blog. That way it’ll be much easier for you to get in touch with me should you have any questions, and you’ll receive prompt updates about the programs you chose. Remember that you’ll always find the guidance you need here.

Happy New Year,
