Starting the New Year off with a Bang?

Starting off the New Year with lots of "Resolutions?" I think it is wonderful to try to make changes in your life for your overall health and wellness.....but here is where I get nervous. Setting lots of goals may become overwhelming. Life is tough as it is and the last thing you need is to set yourself up for failure. My suggestion on a New Year Resolution is to start out slow and make sure to write it down somewhere. If you start out slow and stay committed you have a better chance of introducing it into your everyday lifestyle which in the big scheme of things is why we make resolutions in the first place. For example your resolution may be to eat healthier. If this is you then I would advise to sit back and analyze what you eat and start out slow by removing an unhealthy food that you eat. It could be a simple change like cooking with Pam and not canola oil. Or put your dressing in a small bowl and dipping the lettuce.

Baby Steps. Stay confident and Positive. And if you can, write it down. Don't let a resolution be a stressor in your life. If you feel like running everyday might be too hard then mix it up. Run one day, ride your bike the second day, and go for a long walk the third day.

Good Luck. If you want any suggestions on how to keep your resolution going, let me know. Take care.
