Winter Fresh

Winter's Beauty is an awesome blessing. And it can pose challenges if you enjoy exercising outdoors. If you want to avoid the Winter blues - get some exercise every day. The harder you work your body the better your natural high will be!

    Do you want to improve your life? Do you have a specific goal ? 

    Believing in yourself—believing that you can leap barriers and achieve your goals - is often a  ticket to success. One of the most powerful tools for building self-confidence is visualization. This easy technique involves imagining the accomplishment of the changes or goals you're working to achieve. It is a process of "training" purely within the mind. By visualizing in detail your successful execution of each step in a given activity, you create, modify, or strengthen brain pathways that are important in coordinating your muscles for the visualized activity. This prepares you to perform the activity itself. The technique is useful in many areas of life—from avoiding anxiety during a stressful situation, to performing well during competition. You may find it a powerful tool in just about any journey!.

Beach Time

Every once in a while it makes sense to take time off and just soak up some sun. Enjoy some time soaking up the awesome-ness in nature. ( Even if it means renting an old Surfing movie )

What Are Your Goals

   What are your goals for the year?  D you want to eat better, get healthy and be more  fit? Maybe you'd like to be happier and enjoy a better life balance? These are all worthwhile resolutions aren't they?  In order to achieve these high-level goals you may want to consider a bunch of specific milestones for each of your high-level targets.

  Too often these BIG Goals are doomed for failure because they simply aren't specific enough. The more specific you are, the more likely you will be able to succeed.   Write down your goals and resolutions in ways that allow you to track progress. And, equally important - measure your success!

For instance - if you want to save $1,000 for your childrens college years, start putting away $20 every week. Put it in a 529 Savings Account or a specific account that is separate from your other Savings Account(s). Want to have more when you retire? Call your Human Resources Department tomorrow and start or bump up your 401k savings deductions.

Start taking action immediately. Enjoy your journey. However small your steps - keep moving. If you want to become more fit, focus on being able to jog a little bit further every time you go for a walk, rather than being able to run 5 miles within a week or two. Sometimes progress is a little slower than you first imagined. That's OK! Just keep going.

Forgive yourself if you fail. Don't allow setbacks and failures to define your success  If you slip or mess up,  don’t beat yourself up. Okay, so you slept in and didn’t get to the gym like you’d planned.  How about 5 minutes of stretching and a couple trips around the block?  We all slip backwards from time to time. It happens to everyone. Just don’t let your setbacks get in your way.  Reflect on the lessons they hold, make adjustments accordingly, then Cowboy up and get back in that saddle. Life rewards those who keep getting back up!

Wishing you a Year filled with Happiness, Amazing Success and Gratitude!
