New Years Resolutions!

Hey everyone!

Ok firstly... Happy New Year!!!!! It's already 2012! Can you believe it? I always feel like every year seems to go by faster than the last.. I know I have not blogged in a long time but I guess that's just because I was extremely busy the last few months so I hope you all are doing well and are healthy. As for my health... well let's just say the Holidays agree with my lips but not really my hips lol Too much sweets and good food. However, with the start of the New Year comes another opportunity for redemption and a fresh start. I'm going to go back on my diet with a few slight amendments but in full force nonetheless. I honestly think the secret to successfully eating healthier is filling up on liquids. It makes you less hungry and gives the illusion that you are full, so here we go again and hopefully this time it will stick.

Thinking about New Years usually gives people hope. Many of us create new years resolutions for ourselves. It may be to lose weight, make more money, find true love, find yourself or become enlightened and knowledgeable. Whatever it is, I think there is one important thing to consider when coming up with your new years resolution:

1. Is this resolution for yourself or for someone else?

For this reason I think it's a good idea to create 2 New Years resolutions. One that is to benefit you and the other to benefit others. For example my 2 New Years resolutions are 1. To lose 20lbs and 2. To encourage one person a day... anyone but ideally a stranger or someone I'm not close to.

Think about what would be suitable resolutions for you and start to put practical measures in place to achieve them. You can do it! Surround yourself with encouragement and positive energy and people and you will be happy.

Well that's all for now folks.
