HAAAAAAAPY NEW YEARS-LIBBY DEEGE

Thursday, December 30, 2010

Tradition dictates that every 365 days, you should try to kick bad habits and start your life anew. So sit down with a cup of coffee, a paper and a pen, and reflect: What kinds of New Years Resolutions will you make for yourself this January 1st?


Be realistic by setting achievable goals. Winning the lottery, for example, is out of your grasp


Break down large goals into smaller ones. For instance, commit to losing weight by resolving to join a gym and improve your eating habits.


Find alternatives to a behavior that you want to change, and make this part of your resolution plan. so you want to quit smoking, but you smoked to relax yourself? What other forms of relaxation are available to you?


Above all, aim for things that are truly important to you, not what you think you ought to do or what others expect of you.

I found that with New Years resolutions or any type of goal setting, put it out where you can see it everyday. On your dresser mirror, or what works for me best, my computer monitor. Then I am reminded everyday!

Have a safe and happy New Years and see you all in 2011!!
