Resolving to Improve

I have never been one to set News Years goals because I've been conditioned to think that most people who set goals as a news years resolution start out with energy and commitment and lose their steam a few weeks in.
I am open to a new view on that since I listened to a conference call Dr. Oz hosted for my company in December.  He said that 46% of news years resolvers will be successful, and that I will be 10 times more likely to make a change if I make the resolution at New Years.  46% is enough of a success rate to reconsider.  Consider that a 300 batting average puts a ball player in the super star category.

His tips were as follows:
  • Have a specific action plan
  • Have genuine confidence - publicly declare your resolution because you are more likely to succeed with accountability
  • Track your progress in January and reward yourself when you succeed
  • Everyone messes up, so recognize it and get back on track the next day


I have 3 personal goals for 2013.
  1. I really like personal development, but I feel like I've gotten a little random about it in 2012.  I have committed to 15 minutes of personal development 5 days a week- reading or listening.
  2. The upside to having my own business is that I have no set office hours, and the downside is that I have no set office hours.  I am resolving to be more disciplined with my office hours.
  3. I would like to lose about 5 lbs- just to feel a little leaner, and I resolve NOT to DIET to get there.


ABOUT NOT DIETING
the subject for tomorrow......

     My lifestyle focus in the past 20 years has been health and nutrition. I love to cook and I really take joy in making our family meals as healthy and beautiful as I can.  Now I have two really great daughters-in-Law who are vegetarian, so it's lots of fun to incorporate that into our lives as well.  I hope you find that my blog inspires you to live an energetic healthy life!
