Happy New Year!

I would love to hear what your BIG New Year’s goals are…would you share them with me by commenting to this post?

Here’s to a great and successful 2010 and beyond!

Here I talk about planning for success as opposed to setting yourself up for failure.

Often times we can get ahead of ourselves a bit at the beginning of our goals. I want you to be able to build on successes and that can mean getting started with the smaller ones. It ALL counts! Let’s win at this together!

Here I talk about the importance of having a support system to help you achieve your goals. This could be a great online community, a loved one or a local accountability partner to name a few ideas.

Here I talk about having a target and plan for yourself that is doable! I want you to be able to really put this plan into action and see results! Having the target/goal is key – we need to know where we are going here!

Next: Your Support System

Here we talk about having the tools that you need to succeed at your fingertips.
This part of the goal setting and planning process will be so much easier for you if you take the time to equip yourself with the items you need to assure success.

In terms of the actual goal setting process, it may include things such as paper or electronic planners and calendars. If weight loss is your main focus, you would want to be sure to have your scale, calorie counting book and exercise gear. You get the picture!

I’m not at all suggesting here that it may not be beneficial to focus on goals in different areas of our lives.

I am saying that in my own experience, it really does help to have one major area of your life that you feel would have the greatest impact on all other areas if priorities were made here.

I encourage you to spend some time gaining clarity of where your focus needs to be. We’re gonna get there!

Today, I want you to dream about your future. Think about where you want to be 1 yr, 2 yrs and 5 yrs from today.

3 yrs ago I weighed 278 lbs and was looking ahead at turning 40 in 2010. I thought about the nightmare of how I would feel if I did NOT change my life. These thoughts were almost unbearable. I WAS going to change my life and create a new vision for my future.

It all starts with a dream. We will then map it out and take it step by step.

It is a process…a journey. It will take time, but you WILL get there!

Will you take me with you? I’d love to hear from you…

What do you want to do and change in the New Year! It will take commitment and focus, beginning with honoring yourself by setting aside some time to really think about the changes that you want to create in your life.

I’m excited! 2010 is gonna rock! Are you with me?
