Make 2009 Your BEST YEAR Ever
This is the time that many people make New Years resolutions. Many times resolutions are made on or before January 1st and broken by February 1st. Several years ago, I made a change. I stopped making new years resolutions in the traditional manor. First of all, I no longer wait until January 1st to start my goals for the New Year. I usually start somewhere in the middle of November. Secondly, I stopped setting myself up for failure. What I mean by that is, I stopped setting particular health and money goals. You may be thinking....
Leander, what type of resolutions do you make?
I make one general change to my mindset for the year. Any other goals that I make support that mindset change.
2008 was a great year for me. My wife and others who are very close to me know that I struggled for most of the year with personal and financial issues. In fact many of those issues were not solved. Readers of my blog would have never known. Why? Because I chose not to focus on my problems. My resolution for 2008 was that I was going to make it a "Great 2008". In all that I did, I focused on making it a Great 2008. Did I make some changes in my eating habits to improve my health? Yes I did. Did I make a concerted effort to save more money? Yes I did. Did I do a little more exercise than I did the year before? Yes I did. Did I go to the gym? No. Did I give up eating pretzels? No (but I did switch to unsalted). By NOT making a resolution, I was able to keep my resolution for the year.
My 2009 theme is "It's Mine in 09"
2009 will be my best year ever. I invite all of you to join me in making 2009 your best year ever.
Have a Great Day
