Learn how to choose a New Year goal and resolution to start the year off on the right foot.

Everyone starts out the New Year with goals and resolutions but most people can’t or don’t stick to them.  We all have things in our life we’d like to change, improve and get better at.  Make this the year you actually do the things you want to see changes in.  For 2012, I have two solid athletic events that I’ll be training for, along with lots of small goals in the weight lifting arena.  I am an athlete and this part is easy for me.  The hard part is focusing on something else ...

Change can be difficult, especially when you are trying to do too much all at once. Take small steps that will ensure a ... Continue Reading

new year resolution

Keep this New Year’s resolution with proper motivation and determination.

Every year it becomes a cliche to make a New Year's Resolution in December and then end up breaking it two weeks into the new year. Most of our resolutions come as the result of a drunken statement right before the clock strikes the midnight hour on New Year's Eve. While our intentions are good, Psychology Today reports that 22 percent of resolutions fail after a week and 40 percent fail after a month. While this is a nice way to think about the holiday, the only thing that actually changes ... Continue Reading
