2012

Has anybody made a New Year's Resolution and still sticking to it?  We all start out with such great intentions with a fresh start of a new year.  Maybe we ought not put so much emphasis on the new year and look at each day as a new beginning.  We need not wait til a new year begins to make positive changes in our lives.  It is March 4, 2012.  If you made a resolution and did not stick to it or if you did not make one but would like to make positive changes in your life......start today.  Most of the battle is truly having the desire to make a change.
    I struggled with smoking cigarettes for years and wanted to quit.  I tried and tried unsuccessfully.  One day back in September I was smoking a cigarette on my porch and decided I would smoke the last 2 cigarettes in my pack and I would no longer be a slave to cigarettes.  The reason I share this story is to reinforce that everyday is a new beginning and you can make changes anytime.  I did the same thing with exercise.  I decided in July 2010 that I did not want to be an overweight middle aged woman.  I started an exercise regimen and have continued through today.
   REMEMBER....you must truly have the desire for change and train your brain to think with your new thoughts.  It is so much easier to keep doing what we always do, but change is usually good.....STOP RESISTING.....Make a Change.
