Today I gain inspiration from Dr. Suess as I do many times. As you set your new goals for the upcoming year reflect on the things you've accomplished. No! Don't think of your failures or you will feel overwhelmed. Truely relect on all the good and happy things that have happened. Then set a goal for yourself that stretches out of your comfort zone. For the last month or so I have struggled with eating healthy and exercizing regularly which normally comes with the holidays. But I'm not going to reflect on that I am going to think of what I'm going to do to get back into the routine and getting back on track. And all the other accomplishment I've made and how I can push those a step further.
" You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed. You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead. Wherever you fly, you'll be the best of best. Wherever you go, you'll top all the rest. Except when you don't. Becasue sometimes, you won't. I'm sorry to say so but, sadly, it's true that bang-ups and hang-ups can happen to you." -Dr.Suess-
When you go out of your comfort zone at times you are going to "pass the whole gang" and take the lead. You'll have so much umph in you that you will top all the rest. But don't be discouraged by all the Bang-ups and Hang-ups. Remember how happy your past achievements have made you happy and have helped make you the best you can be. " and you will succeed? Yes! You will indeed! (98 and 3/4 guaranteed)...Today is your day! Your Mountain is waiting! So....get on your way!" -Dr Suess- Start making your goals and write them down. A wise person once told me "If you don't write it down, it's nothing but a dream." I know I'm going to fail some days and I know I will feel defeated but I know tommorrow is a new day.
I encourage all of you again to write it down! Just as I encourage it must do and I will tell you what my goals are.
1. Eat at least a fruit and a veggie a day
2. Run a half a marathon with my dad
3. Exercise at least 4 times a week
4. Go out to eat only 3 times a month
One more suggestion make sure you make realistic goals but also ones that will stretch you. I wish you all good luck and happy goal making!! Make sure to post your goals and we will talk about them and encourge and celebrate throughout the year!!
