Whatever you are working on, you will not do it perfectly. The trick is not to never goof up, but not to turn goof-ups into give-ups. In order to keep motivated and not give up when you blow it, it’s important that you use what you learn from your tracking — I said I would exercise 30 minutes every day and I haven’t done it once — as information, not as the chance for self-punishment. The more you criticize, blame, shame or guilt-trip yourself, the less well you’ll do.

I have declared this year to be the year where we ask ourselves: “Why am I here? What is my purpose?” So I call this year the year we train like athletes for the “soul” Olympics.

I just read a book called “Living the Low Carb Life” by Jonny Bowden. What I really liked about it was the way it educated me about sugar and high carbohydrate foods. I have always loved these foods and have fought with myself over and over about how I shouldn’t, but I want to, oh it is ok, just once, never again …. Or, I can burn it off, or, I work out so much I am sure it won’t matter.

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
New Years resolutions are upon us. Some of us no longer sit down and write them out or even give them much thought. Too many times we have been resolute on New Years Day, only to see our determination fade just weeks later.

Happy Holidays!
In the blink of an eye, one more year will be behind you. In 2008 you can continue on the path you’re on, or you can make a shift. What will you choose?
You know that to make your body stronger you must challenge it. It is the same for willpower and courage. To get more courage, you must face your fears. To increase willpower, you must use the power of your will.
