Fallen off the Resolution Wagon?

Okay, it's 3 weeks into January and the buzz is shifting. The month started out with "I'm going to..." and "This year will be great because..." and 3 weeks later it's all gone. No buzz, no possitive attitude, no hope. What happened?

New Year's Resolution Let Down. The time in January when you realize that those grandiose plans are really ludicrous and you'd rather have a hot fudge sundae in January than think about what you'll look like in a bathing suit in June.

So the grandiose schemes don't generally work, what other choice do you have? Come on, you know my answer to that - you always have a choice.

What if you chose to set goals differently? What if you chose to add one small, good habit to your life? What if you take baby steps toward your goal?

There are other ways to get to your destination. If you are standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon, and you want to hike the floor, do you think you could find an alternative to jumping off the edge? You could probably find a nice trail to take you to the bottom. It might take longer, but it will certainly be less painful.

Try looking at your resolutions that way. Go ahead and choose your big goal - just don't insist on arriving in the next 2 minutes. Find some baby steps to take to get there. Things that won't hurt you but will lead you in the direction of your dreams.

Choose a goal - take a step - You CAN do it!
