2012

As we welcome "2012" may we all enter it with confidence and well-being.


Let's not start the year with unrealistic challenges.  Start it with small goals, reach them and then slowly add on more. This will set you up for progress and achievement, instead of failure.  

1. Create a List of all the things you would like to achieve this year.
2. After creating your list organize them according to importance. Give yourself a realistic timeline to achieve at least 3 goals a month, or whatever would be realistic for you.  When you take your time and do it correctly, you will continue to succeed and move forward and on to the next.
3. You should always start your New Year off with a good cleansing - not only in body, but mind as well.
4. When you detox your body of last year's toxins it is a guaranteed way to allow your body to truly feel renewed from within.  http://health.yahoo.net/experts/drmao/healthy-detox-after-overindulging 
5. A good spring detox is one of the bears:  http://www.care2.com/greenliving/dandelion-for-spring-detox.html Did you know most bears will eat dandelions after coming out of hibernation. It is how nature helps them detox their systems. I am not recommending you go out and eat wild dandelions, but I do suggest you try a good tea or check your local market for freshly cultivated dandelions to top your salads.
6. You should set aside at least 15 - 30 mins a day to meditate in total quiet.  This will help to refresh your mind - We all require a little quiet time here and there.  It is not only good for the mind, but for your body as well.  Or, try 10 to 20 minutes of yoga a day.
7. Take a walk outside - by yourself or with a friend.  Fresh Air is always good for the soul! If it is too cold outside, then do 30 - 40 mins of cardio. 
8. Each evening, try to plan your meals for the next day.  If you have things in order, it will make your meal planning a lot easier.
9. Take it one day at a time, baby steps are best - STEPS = Schedule, Time, Energize, Progression and Support - These are the things we all require to achieve our new year's goals.
