Just a little bit.......

Sorry people, its been a little while, my goal is to post at least once a week, but I refuse to post something just for the sake of posting...here we go!

I won't get on my soap box again about New Year's Resolutions since I video blogged about it last year this time www.youtube.com/icanclothing but I can't help but touch on the resolutions thing again.... The bottom line is I want everyone to accomplish their goals whether they started Jan. 1 or Nov 1., doesn't matter.

As we all plan our goals/resolutions/draw our lines in the sand let's remember that Rome wasn't built in a day. Let's look at some typical New Year's resolutions.....

1. Lose 15 lbs.+ or
2. Gain 15 lbs.+ (hey! skinny people like me need love too!)
3. Join a gym and workout 3 times a week.
4. Read a book a month.
5. Get finances in order.
6. Run everyday.
7. Walk everyday.
8. Lose weight.
9. Get in shape.
10. Lose weight.
11. Get in shape.
12. Did I mention lose weight and get in shape?

Alright, nothing wrong with any of these resolutions or any combination of them. I think we all should just remember to take on a little bit at a time. Hey! You wanna to read a book a month and you haven't finished one book in the last 3 years. Maybe start with today's newspaper. I wanna blog everyday and I have trouble blogging once a year. Maybe I start once a month. Baby steps... We want to run a marathon and we haven't started walking. It can be done, you just need to "take your time young man, momma used to say!" (sorry.....old school "Mama Used To Say" - Junior)

I heard Dr. Ian Smith recommend to focus on just one goal every 6 weeks. I liked the idea and it made a lot of sense. Focusing on one goal helps keep us from getting overwhelmed. Once we get one goal under control and on track, then we can add on.

Just remember, we need to focus on one thing at a time and we can get there. We won't let one or two slip ups, mess ups, screw ups, trip ups, stop us from our goal. Anything we're doing now towards our goal is an improvement to what we were doing before (we hope, right?). Let's give ourselves a little credit.

It's 21 days into your New Year's Resolution, if you've fallen already, GET UP, dust yourself off and start today.

Have a wonderful 2010.
