The Road to Good Intentions in the New Year

Is it a familiar pattern for you to get excited about the beginning of a New Year and decide that this is the year you are going to look after your body and/or your emotional health. You start off strong with wonderful intentions and after a week or two things start sliding back to the way they were before, you get discouraged and give up?

It is a common pattern that we get into when we get caught up in the end result (losing 30 lbs, running everyday) which are long term goals, without focussing on the day to day short term goals that help us get where we are going.

Prioritize in order of importance your goals for the year, keep them realistic and create a series of short term goals that you can achieve along the way and watch your motivation continue!
