New and Improved You!

QUESTION: How many of us have made New Year's Resolutions and then before the first month is even over, we've given up, made excuses for, or completely backed out of our resolution?
ANSWER: All of us. Why? Because resolving to do something without an actual action plan is not realistic.

I found this by Tony Robbins to help us make our resolutions a reality.

Step #1: Select an area of your life that you would like to improve and write down what that area is like for you currently. BE SPECIFIC!! Write the truth. If you can't be honest with yourself, this will never work.

Step #2: Write down the rituals that have shaped your current conditions in this area. BE HONEST!! What are the things that we do everyday that make our situation what is it? How are we contributing to our condition? This is the hard part because it forces us to take the blame and to actually own our lives. No one needs to see this but you. You can't make the necessary changes if you can't honestly and truthfully access who and where you are.

It usually isn't one thing, but many little things. Write them all down.

Step #3: Write down what you want!What's your compelling vision? BE SPECIFIC!! Write down every detail of everything you want. Use all of your senses. What does it look like, smell like, feel like, taste like, and sound like?

Step #4: Write down the rituals that will get you your compelling vision. What would you need to do   differently each day to get what you want? Make a full list of even the little things that seem irrelevant. Making small changes make a huge difference. Once you develop the momentum of making small changes, implementing those into your life and making those a reality, you will be more likely to make others and stick to those changes.

Today's Quote

Time and health are two precious assets that we don't recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.

~Denis Waitley

No one ever laid there at the end and wished they watched more television or worked more. Be sure to take the time to spend with your family & friends.

Go for a walk together, play tag, have a dance marathon, grocery shop and/or cook together.

 Food Tip

portion Control TIPs:
1.Water to the rescue... Before sitting down to enjoy your meal, drink 1/2 glass of water. You'll be getting the water you need and controlling your portion size.

2.When eating out, ask for a take away container when you order. When your meal arrives, save 1/2 of it in the container. You’ll have lunch for the next day and space for a moderate dessert.

Fit Tip

Get your 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Staying up late can cause your metabolism to slow down and increases your chances of late night snacking.Plus, when you wake up refreshed, you will have the energy to get through your daily workout.
