Overcome resistance, perfectionism, and procrastination!

Get going on your fantastic goals for 2019!

Start your life anew. Make it what you want it to be.

Relax. You can meditate, soak in a luxurious tub of hot water, or just look out a window and enjoy watching nature. It is your choice to relax or not.
Have Fun. Play. Find somebody to play foosball with, or volleyball, or go sledding. Do something fun and engaging!
Be creative. Try coloring or painting for fun and creativity. Make jewelry. Or maybe, look at things differently and come up with a solution or different way of doing something.
Reduce Stress. How? You cannot necessarily change what happens in your environment or to you, but you do have a choice on how you respond to what happens. You can also plan ahead to make choices which put you in less stressful situations.
Be Grateful! Appreciate what you have in life. Appreciate the sun rising and setting. Appreciate every smile you see and experience. Appreciate the taste, smell, and feel of the food that you eat. Appreciate having running water, electricity, and the roof over your head. Appreciate the people in your life-your family, your friends, and the people you see when you are out and about. Appreciate each day of life! Be grateful. Be thankful.
Forgive. Forgive others and forgive yourself. Get rid of anger, bitterness, and resentment. You will live longer and happier.
Eat Less Calories. Why? You’ll feel better. Try soups like a bone broth soup, chicken soup, or tomato soup. Soups are filling, but can be low in calories. Also, this is much easier on your digestive system.
Get Your Body in Motion, Move More! The more you move, the better you will feel. Your body will function better. Do something. Run in place. Watch Jack LaLanne on youtube.com and follow along. Every time a commercial comes on, get up and start marching in place or around the room. Go to a gym. Start a sport. Exercise in your chair, but do something!
Read More Books! Expand your understanding. Learn. Enjoy. Share.
Be Thoughtful. Be organized and be timely. Think and plan ahead. Be more thoughtful of others. Be helpful. Think how you can be more polite, more helpful, talk in a better manner, and be more enjoyable to yourself and to others.
Increase Your Emotional IQ. You motivate yourself, you regulate your behavior, you pause before you speak, you show empathy, you forgive and you forget, you apologize-it’s not always about being right, it’s about having good relationships, you protect yourself emotionally when appropriate, you benefit from criticism, you control your own thoughts, you give helpful feedback, you praise others, you help others, and you keep your commitments.
Get a Hobby. You can volunteer your time to help a charity. You can garden, cook, join a club, learn to play a musical instrument, learn a new language, go fishing, etc.
Start Eating Healthier Food. First, find out what is healthy food and why. Start eating organic food. Eat food with less processing, pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, nitrates, genetic modifications, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavor and color, chemicals and other non-life sustaining alterations such as microwaving, irradiating, etc. Learn to read the labels- natural does not necessarily mean “good”.
Get Smart! Find out what is really in your environment-in the food you eat, the air you breathe, in your food, in your clothes, in your home and surroundings, in your medicine, and more! Do the research; you will be glad you did. Protect yourself, your family, and your pets.
Stop Procrastinating. Before you get ready for bed, make a “Do List” for the next day. The next day, do the things that have to be done especially that day, after that, do the easiest, fastest items first. As you accomplish your goals, do not strike through them. Highlight your achievements as you accomplish them! You’ll feel better.
Sleep Better. Getting to sleep by 11pm or earlier really helps with the quality of your sleep. Get rid of all the lights. To get to sleep easier, have a ritual to go to sleep. Maybe you shower to get relaxed, light a candle, use some essential oils, drink chamomile tea, do an enjoyable activity like read a book, play a word game, play Sudoku, etc. Come up with your own bedtime ritual. You may want to try a sound machine to sleep. To wake up easier, try a gentle awake alarm clock that gradually brightens to rouse you from your sleep.
Become Tidier. Make your bed every day. Even if everything is not picked up, at least the bed is made. Do not allow yourself to throw anything on the floor-always put dirty clothes right into the hamper. Always rinse dishes and immediately put them in the dishwasher. No dishwasher-then wash them immediately. If you open a door, a cabinet, etc.-close it. Put things back where you got them from. If you do these few things, your place will be much tidier. There will be less clutter; you will be able to find things easier. It will help improve your mood.
Spend More Time With the People That Matter. If someone is toxic, remove yourself. Focus on spending time with people that care about you and you care about them. Also, if you are trying to improve yourself, spend time with people that you want to be more like.
Set Goals. Set long term goals, set goals for the year, set short term goals, and use your daily “Do List”. Have a list that you can see-maybe it is in your medicine cabinet to see daily or maybe it is in the front of your daily planner. Make sure you can see it every day. These are your goals. They should not be seen daily by others. As you focus daily on your goals, they will become your reality. Choose wisely. Live your life conscientiously. If you do not actively choose your goals, you will be merely existing and experiencing life by default.

Enjoy the life you want in 2019!
