“Don’t ask what the New Year has in store for you, instead affirm what you have in store for the New Year.” Eric Butterwort
"We will open the book. It’s pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.” Edith Lovejoy Pierce
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!
Now that the New Year is here it is time to ask yourself what do you have in store for this New Year? What is it that you would like to accomplish?? What changes would you like to make and what steps do you need to take to make the intended change a reality? What are you committed to making happen in your life this year?
No matter what area of your life you would like to focus on improving this year, whether it is your body, your health, your finances, your career or your relationships, the first step is to Decide what you would like to see happen. Next commit yourself to taking the necessary steps to make it possible. Keeping the ultimate goal in mind, start with small steps you can take every day. Ask yourself what kind of outcome would you like to have happen and why and by what date. Be specific, write it down on paper and commit to each step every day. The only way to make your dreams a reality is by taking action toward them.. take that first small step and then another and another.
Stay positive with your self-talk, and attitude. Find ways to enjoy taking action towards your desired goal.
Visualize yourself already achieving the goal. Mentally picture yourself where you want to be in your life.
Use affirmations, put in writing what you want to achieve as if you already achieved it and say these affirmations to yourself daily. If you find it hard to believe an affirmation then you can preface it with “I am starting to” “I am becoming” etc.
In the beginning of the year it is easy to stay excited about setting goals but the important part is to keep the vision of what you want to accomplish alive all year round.
You can make your dreams come true, decide what it is you want, see yourself having it, affirm that it is possible, take steps toward it every day even if it is uncomfortable at first. Never lose the excitement, Never give up, you are worth it… 2011 is your year to make it happen!!!
Have a blessed and productive New Year!!
WISHING YOU LOVE, JOY, PEACE AND PROSPERITY,

HOW COMFORTABLE ARE YOU?
"One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again." ~Abraham Maslow~
"We cannot become what we want to be by remaining what we are."~Max DePree~
I know as a fitness professional that if a client is going to make changes in their body it will require them to push past what is comfortable, past their comfort zone.
If you want to have more cardiovascular endurance you will need to run a little faster, or a little farther, or a little longer than your body currently feels comfortable doing. If you want more strength and muscle tone, you will have to lift weights that are a little heavier than you are used to, if you want more flexibility you will need to stretch your muscles in ways that may at first feel uncomfortable. Eventually the body reacts to the extra stress you put on it by getting stronger and then what used to feel uncomfortable becomes easy to do.
I am learning that the same is true in all areas of life. If you want to see changes in any area of your life you must occasionally throw yourself into the fire and go past what is comfortable for you.
Sometimes we can become so stuck in a comfort zone that we don’t allow ourselves to make the progress we say we want in our lives. But any goal that you have for yourself that you want to reach will require you to do something that you may not be comfortable doing.
Just like it helps to have a workout partner or hire a trainer to help you physically push your body past what is comfortable in order for you to see the changes you desire, it can help to have a friend or a coach to help you push yourself mentally to take the steps necessary to reach your goals and dreams.
Earlier this year I hired life coach David Essel because I had gotten stuck in my own comfort zones and needed a push to help me get unstuck.
Look at the areas of your life where you would like to make changes and make a list of potential actions you could take to start progressing toward the change you would like to see. If any of the items on the list scare you, then you know that this is one area where you need to move out of your comfort zone. Commit yourself to taking that first small step, either alone or with the help of a friend, trainer, or coach. And you will find that the more you make a habit out of pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, the easier it becomes and the more confidence and joy you feel in your life. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Lao-tzu
Take that first step!! You can do it!! And you will be so happy you did!!
