New Year, New Beginnings

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2010 and everything that it brings. For some it will bring a new beginning. The chance to start with a blank slate as in tackling a new challenge and reaching a new goal, but for others it brings a chance to develop a new approach or strategy to resolve an old challenge. Regardless of how you look at it, the new year brings a new beginning. You now have 365 days to make a difference in your life and the lives of others because it is not always about you. Believe it or not you can make 2010 your best year ever by living a life of purpose. Take the time to educate yourself and others on topics that are important to you, that improve your overall health/wellness, and that will be instrumental in improving your occupational/income/wealth building potential. Where does it all begin? Develop an action plan, change your thoughts, make connections, keep track of your progress, and don't give up when frustration sets in.

It's easier to do this using the SMART formula according to Dr. Ruthy :-).

S - set specific goals that will help you to move forward and provide inspiration in your efforts. M - monitor your progress and celebrate each small achievement. A - acknowledge your shortfalls and ask for help, everyone needs it at some time. R - realistic and reachable goals are best in making life changes that are permanent. T-time specific goals/putting deadlines for achieving your goals. Take your time but set a deadline so that you are accountable and responsible in the task. You can have a new beginning and embark on a new journey for your life using this formula and a little common sense.

Let me know what you think or what strategies you have for your New Year 2010.

Wishing you health and Wellness.
