Happy New Year's

And the anxiety beginnings as we near the start of 2015...The word resolutions sends most of us into a frenzy of promises that we will not necessarily keep. I say necessarily because my resolution this year is not to be so negative...laughing.  However more on the negative note...most people make all kinds of resolutions, only to fall short about 3 hours into 2015. 


So what kinds of resolutions do people make...The Top 10 Commonly Broken Resolutions of all times are:
Lose Weight and Get Fit
Quit Smoking
Learn Something New
Eat Healthier
Get out of Debt and Save Money
Spend More Time with Family
Travel to New Places
Be Less Stressed
Volunteer
Drink Less


The funny thing here is the Top Ten Resolutions to make are the Top Ten Commonly Broken...it's time to for a change!!!  There is a saying in a 12 step programme that goes like this...Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Perhaps your first resolution should be seeking some psychiatric help with the issue of follow through...laughing. 


Here is a list of resolutions anyone can embrace in 2015:


1. Get out of bed each morning or afternoon at a reasonable time
2. Brush your teeth
3. Turn on your social media device
4. Read something each day that has some intellectual content, cereal boxes count for this one
5. Drink a glass of water, rinsing your mouth out with water after brushing teeth counts for a quarter cup
6. Eat a serving of veggies or fruit...last time I checked a glass of red wine, cup of coffee and chocolate all fall under fruit or veggies category
7. Do one kind thing a day even if it's only being kind to yourself
8. Walk in nature and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you, if you put a plant between you and your car...
9. Do some thing that raises your heart rate, I am sure opening your credit card bill after the holidays will do it..
10. Once in a blue moon volunteer to make the world a better place...


Baby steps everyone, Rome was not built in a day....
The best resolution you can make is, be kind to yourself, be your self, and if you don't first succeed keep trying, because when one makes enough mistakes, we usual end up make a right one.






Grow, Harvest, Cook, Eat and Happy New Year
