New Year, Healthy lifestyle changes

Beginning of a new year is a good time  to make healthy lifestyle changes, when  most of us are filled with hope and enthusiasm, it's a good idea to be useful to re-think and re-define our goals. In January is a great time to set new intentions because it offers an easy-to-identify, new energy that each year it brings

Although statistics say  a number approximate to 12 percent of people succeed at their new year's resolutions we would not have to be discouraged . It's this way Really? Anyway that number seems very low to me. If that is really so,  I must  think there are several factors that play into that  low  percentage. However, let's look at some positive ways to insure that we are in that 10 percent of goal achievers for 2011 and beyond! instead of focusing on the negative reasons why so many goals are not achieved,
 With this seven tips to help we can start. Don't forget the phrase: New Year's reminder is good for all of us.
1. Journal: Notebook where you can look at them, write every goals and down, your motives for achieving them, add to them each new idea that come to your mind, or change if needed. Write too,  impressions about each goal and keep track of your progress.
2, If it is possible, every week try something new: Set a new goal, or approach an old aim in a new way. a good recipe for disappointment is to repeat resolutions you have failed to keep before . For example, instead of trying to lose a set amount of weight, vow to exercise more.
3. It's needed be specific: When you think about exactly what you are going to do, where and when,you will be avoiding a vague plans that will fail certainly . For example, instead of saying that you will go running on two or  three days each week, decide you will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays at a specific time.
4.Your mind's eye: Visualize yourself doing whatever you need to do to achieve your resolution. Focusing on this image will help you believe in your ability to succeed and raise your vibration to match the goal.
5. Discipline: New Year's resolutions generally fail because they are just as easy to dismiss as they are to make. This is a great opportunity to practice self-discipline.
6. Be positive: You will get better results from thinking about the good things that will come from your new lifestyle rather than any difficulty of letting go of your old habits.
7. . Be persistent: New habits can take time to learn, and once in a while you may slip up and revert to the old you. Most of us give in to temptation occasionally, so forgive yourself and keep moving forward.

By following these suggestions and believing that you are worthy of whatever you put your mind to, you should be set for a great 2011!
