While sorting through the mass of e-mails and headlines that make their way into our inboxes everyday, Josee (who just so happens to be my office mate) proclaimed yesterday “They’re already starting to talk about New Year’s resolutions!” I just shook my head, wondering like many of us do, “where the heck has the year gone?” Unfortunately, this is an all too common feeling nowadays. With our ever increasing list of responsibilities and things to do, time flies by at lightening speed.
As I started thinking about New Year’s resolutions and our ultra busy lives, I realized something. Why do we wait until New Year’s to make our resolutions? Why do we wait until we’re not so busy or we finish that “project” or we have that big event coming up, before we treat our bodies well? The truth of the matter is, the better you are to your body the better it’s going to be to you. If you eat well, exercise on a regular basis and get adequate sleep, you’re going to be so much better equipped to deal with the ups and downs of day to day life.
So wouldn’t NOW be a good time to put those resolutions into action? Be unique! Tell people that you’re starting your ‘New Year’ right here and right now. Commit to yourself TODAY to start that exercise program, quit smoking or eat more fruits and vegetables. Don’t be one of those people lost in the mass of newcomers at the gym every January, only to find dust on your sneakers come March. Make small changes, stay focused, and over time I promise they will lead to a happier, healthier you!
