New Year, New You in 2010
January 3, 2010 – 6:20 am“Many people look forward to the new year for a new start on old habits” ~ Author Unknown
The New Year seems like the perfect time to start on a New You, right? After all, timing is everything. Or, at least that’s what we are taught to believe. So, if we missed the window of time, we missed the opportunity.
Well, a wise man, my dad, always told me, “Beth, there will always be another opportunity.” I have learned, the hard way, he is right. There is always another opportunity. A new opportunity each and every moment to start over.
When it comes to changing a behavior or habit, it takes planning before going into that next moment. So, before jumping in with both feed, identify what it is that you want to change and select a new behavior or response to replace your usual habit. Then select a moment in time that you will try it out. For many, 01-01-2010 will be that moment.
Keep in mind, 01-02-2010 or 02-23-2010 or any date, will work! The plan and commitment to the new behavior or response is more important than the moment in time!
I hope all of you are able to find the courage to make a change in the New Year!
