New Year, New You?

We hear that every year, right?  All the tips and tricks to make "this" your "new year, new you" for health, for relationships, for dieting, for not dieting, for living your best life.  Right?  Year after year it's the same old story.  Are you tired of it yet or do you like to hear about the new trends for the year?  Are you a "stay the course" kind of person or do you like to try the latest fads in whatever area of your life you're looking to focus on for the start of the new year.  As the year moves on, typically a week or two into Jan, that focus may shift or change...depending on how well that latest fad or trend is going.  

This weekend is when they say most people ditch their new year's resolution or at least "fall off the wagon" per se relating to most diets that were started on January 1st.  Yes, my first 12 days of the year haven't been as "clean" eating-wise as I'd like them to be, but I keep trying and I keep going.  No matter how many times you fall down, just get back up and keep trying.  Don't quit!

Your future happiness depends on your current actions...good or bad.  If you stay the course and stick to your goals you'll likely hit your target(s) and feel better about yourself for persevering.  If you steer off course or completely fall down and choose not to get back up then you'll stay exactly where you are or where you've been without moving forward in life.  You may move forward in time, but where you're at in your life's journey remains stagnant and not living your full potential.  The more or less you care about where you are in your life and where you want to be will determine your actions, your commitment and your ultimate happiness in life.

It's really up to you and what's most important to you...at this time...right now.  That cupcake or losing a pound off your hips this week.  You're in control.  You are steering your own ship.  So, take charge.  Be confident.  Be resilient.  Be strong.  Be YOU!!

Cheers to figuring it all out...and accomplishing our own goals...somehow, someway.  Wishing you blessings of new year's resolutions that include hope, intent, determination and satisfaction!
