Resolve Not To Resolve in 2013

No more failed New Year’s Resolutions! Make a daily goal instead.

This year make a small, simple daily goal instead of a resolution! Think about it. What if you simply decided to take a walk every day, or eat a healthy breakfast, or drink one less soda?  Just one small thing you could do every day to improve your health – it could make a large difference over the course of a year. Set your sights on something you can achieve every day.  Seriously, you aren’t going to the gym EVERY day, right?  Don’t set yourself up to fail.  Instead choose a goal you can accomplish. Set up rewards for achieving your daily goal. If you make your daily goal for a week in a row – celebrate! Have a special treat, schedule a massage, or sleep in.  Give yourself something to look forward to and to act as an incentive. Don’t beat yourself up. The beauty of a daily goal is it resets every day.  If you missed today, start again tomorrow. Remember: Life is not about perfection. It’s about moving in the right direction! Get moving in the right direction – toward a healthier you – in 2013! What will you set as your daily goal?  Please share it in a comment below! Eliz Greene works busy women to impro...
