Welcome to 2012!

The new year is a time of renewal and a fresh start towards identifying and meeting new challenges.




Below is a link to a number of New year's resolution topics and perspectives

In particular this subtopic provides many tools for you to find something that might work for you.

I think the main thing to keep in mind about resolutions and fresh starts is to make a plan for regular exercise, build on the positive momentum and re-start if you stall out.... + try and approach personal  nutrition/diet from a moderate perspective that you can continue for the  long term.

Writing things down and sharing them with others is often a good step for success. Some people are reluctant because they don't want to set themselves up for failure.  What are your thoughts on new year's resolutions?  Have you ever created any? had success? What would be some reasonable resolutions for you at this time? and what steps could you make in the short term to help be successful?  Is there anything you found in the links provided above that will help you? (note: the tools and ideas provided can be applied at any time throughout the year.)

 Remember that a resolution is really just a personal challenge for self improvement that just happens to be at the beginning of the year. It often is better to choose a smaller goal and build on this success!
