Better New Year's Resolutions for Women

It's New Year's Resolution time in the air. Why not re-examine this whole resolution process? Are you making the same ones over and over? Here's some I'd like to offer. You be the judge as to whether or not these qualify as Better or Worse. Better New Year's Resolutions for Women? You decide. rn1. Invest in Spanx instead of Weight Watchers. Why don't we just accept our gorgeous selves and our bodies? Forget the diets and fork out some bucks on good undergarments. And, above all, be healthy. rn2. Stop telling everyone you are going to lose weight this year. There's an unconscious belief that if we tell others about our weight issues, it's actually helping. Telling the world about your plan to lose those pounds may or may not add accountability. I suggest figure out what works best for you in reaching goals and follow that path. rn3. Accepting life on life's terms instead of your own. In other words, let go of thinking we can control the outcome of everything and stay present to what's in front of us now. Stop the "I'll be happy when..." thinking to simply being happy now. You get to make that choice! rn4. Stop trying to change HIM or anoyone. Now, how many times do we have to hear this one? If you can't accept him or her as he/she is, move on. rn5. Exercise when you feel like it. For me lately, that could mean never but I found some tricks to get me off the couch and onto the trails or dance studio. Figure out what motivates you and then move that body! Ex: Ask a friend to join you, try something new. Bottom line: If you enjoy it, it becomes a long-term practice. rn6. Laugh daily and often. Laughing keeps you young and sane. If you can't think of anything, check out Funny or Die crafted by Will Ferrell, fellow comics and a bunch of Silicon Valley folks. rn7. Support Women-Owned Businesses. Today, women-owned firms have an economic impact of $3 trillion annually that translates into the creation and/or maintenance of more than 23 million jobs - 16 percent of all U.S. jobs! rn8. Join a Coaching Circle or a MasterMind Group this year! Use the power of a group to help you accomplish your goals in a supportive, encouraging environment.
