Let it Flow

Every year millions of Americans make New Year’s resolutions, and only 10% will actually achieve success. Anything in this list sound familiar?

1. Spend More Time with Family & Friends
2. Improved diet and fitness
3. Quit Smoking
4. Quit Drinking (alcohol)
5. Enjoy Life More
6. Get Out of Debt
7. Learn Something New
8. Help Others
9. Get Organized
10. Get a new job

Why is it that over and over these are the top resolutions made in America? You’ve heard the benefits of healthy diet and exercise; you’ve heard the dangers of smoking and excessive drinking; and you’ve heard that spending time with loved ones and engaging in activities that you enjoy can have a positive affect on your stress and happiness levels.

What more convincing do you need?

This year I challenge you to think differently about your resolutions. Think about why you make them, and why you aren’t following through. Perhaps even think about never making a resolution again. Instead, incorporate all of these activities into your daily life. Make it consistent; take it with you all year long. Notice how rewarding, and less stressful, that can be.
