Raise your hands if you have made New Year\u2019s Resolutions and did not succeeded in keeping them longer than a month!! A week\u2026a day? Why is that? We have good intentions and usually our resolutions would create better lives for us.<\/p>\n

Often we create expectations we couldn\u2019t possibly keep\u2026.like these:
\n**\u2018I am going to lose 75 pounds this year.\u2019
\n**\u2018I will work out 2 hours a day.\u2019
\n**\u2018I am going to eat healthy\u2014no more sweets for me!\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How about setting goals you can reach? And if you go beyond them, pat yourself on the back!! Maybe these would be better\u2014
\n**\u2018I will lose 10 pounds\u2026and then re-evaluate my next goal.\u2019
\n**\u2018I will exercise 30 minutes 5 days a week\u2014if I cannot do 30 minutes all at once, I will do 15 minutes in the morning or at lunch and then another 15 minutes in the evening.\u2019
\n**\u2018Sweets are my downfall, but I know I won\u2019t completely cut them out. I will add more healthy vegetable and fruit options each day and minimize the number of sweets I eat.\u2019<\/p>\n

Think about what you want to achieve this year\u2014go ahead and make your New Year\u2019s Resolutions. Ones that you can achieve!! And make a plan.<\/p>\n

I learned an important lesson in 2000 when I started my current job. \u00a0I was to write down a list of 5 things I needed to accomplish the next day before I left work. At first, it seemed silly, but as I followed what my boss had requested, I could see the value in my list of 5.<\/p>\n

The longer I worked for the company, the more varied my duties became. I could easily get pulled into something urgent and get totally distracted from what I needed to accomplish that day. To this day, most of the time, I leave a list on my desk for the next day. It helps me to stay focused on what needs to be done (in addition to the many things that pop up needing immediate attention).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Start your list on January 1 when you make your New Year\u2019s Resolutions. Decide what it will take for you to achieve those goals, make a list of things you can do to be moving forward every single day.<\/p>\n

So many of us will make a resolution to lose weight in the coming year\u2014and keep it off. This would be my list of 5 for that resolution:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I will eat a healthy breakfast every day which will give me energy for the day ahead and help me not to over-eat later in the day<\/li>\n
  2. I am worth the time it takes to improve myself, to become more healthy. I will eat 5 fruits\/vegetables daily.<\/li>\n
  3. I will look for every chance to walk extra\u2014park my car way out from the grocery store instead of the closest parking spot\u2026take the stairs instead of the elevator\u2026\u2026get out and play with my children or grandchildren.<\/li>\n
  4. I will exercise 5 times a week for 30 minutes. Walking is fine!<\/li>\n
  5. Even on days, when I am not perfect, I will appreciate my body just as it is. It maybe not be perfect, but it keeps me going. I will focus on the good things and not the imperfections.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You are important and you deserve time to achieve your goals.\u00a0Do it!<\/p>\n
