The First Hurdle........

Well 2009 is here and in full swing and I can imagine quite a lot of you are determined to create a healthier lifestyle for yourself!!! But WHY? Are you doing it because everyone else is doing it or are you doing it because you feel its the right thing to do? We often fall at the first hurdle of any healthy lifestyle changes because we lack a clear reason as to WHY you are doing it?

It is imperative with creating the life that you want, that you focus clearly on what the changes will give you and NOT as many people do on the difficulty of doing it.......YES it is going to be hard to give up smoking if you have smoked 20 a day for many years......YES it is going to be hard to go to the gym to train 5 times a week if all you have ever done is use the sauna/steam room!! But think about what these New Years Revolutions will bring you and add to your life. Maybe they will bring you the following:

• More energy, vitality and enthusiasm
• A healthier body and mind
• Weight loss - (if followed correctly)
• More opportunities
• Greater focus on your goals
• Clearer mind to solve problems
• More confidence

And this is just the begining of the wonderful journey you will encounter when you are clear on the pleasure that the new healthier lifestyle will bring you rather than focussing on the pain of having to start from the bottom! The more you focus on the positives, the easier it becomes to achieve your goals.

For those of you that do fall at the first hurdle....all is not lost......this experience gives you the chance to refresh your goals and gain clarity......the biggest reason we fall at the first hurdle is that we are not clear on the WHY?

Choosing to go healthy gives you unbounded energy and enthusiasm for life, which can only be positive......so why wouldn't you do it?
