The New Old You!

The new year is here and like every new year it offers a time for reflection and a time for resolutions. Health and fitness often top our list of goals each January. There always seems to be some improvement needed in these areas. Because we are all our own worst critic, there is often a sense of disappointment associated with the traditional New Year's resolution of weight loss or improved diet. Somehow we feel that we have failed if we haven't reached perfection, whatever that may mean to us. It is that attitude of failure that sidelines us as we work to once again reach our goals. We are the biggest roadblock on the path toward our success. So this year I hope that each of you changes your mindset about your goals and resolutions. Convert the negative thoughts and actions you inevitably fall into into positive ones. Change the way you think about your ability to reach your goal. You CAN do it! As you reflect on 2010 appreciate and honor the strides you made toward a better you. Evaluate what helped you take those steps and bring more of those success facilitating strategies, people, ideas and practices into your world this year. Believe in yourself enough acheive your goals.
