“By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands — your own.”~Mark Victor Hansen
You don’t have to beat yourself up if you aren’t quite as far as you would like to be with the goals you set for yourself in 2010, and you don’t have to wait for the next New Year’s to roll around before you can recommit to the things you would like to change or create for yourself in your life.
Take a little ME-Time Now™ this summer and write down your vision for how you would ideally like your life to look. Be very specific, believe you can have it, and to commit to, not only making it happen, but truly being open to and excited about it happening. Don’t hold back – it’s your ideal vision, so the sky is the limit!
Setting your intentions and creating your vision in writing can be very fun, and the positive energy that results may be just what you need to help you gain the courage to take that first step, even a tiny baby step for starters, toward your ideal life!
When we move away/relocate to a new town, one of the hardest parts is leaving cherished friends behind. Did you know that strong friendships are a bigger predictor of longevity than even close family ties? According to Prevention Magazine, a 10-year study out of Australia researched ways to lower the risk of obesity, depression, and even heart disease. It found that friendships are a major factor in our health and longevity, and the key lies in the type of relationship, not the number of friends.
Do you have some longtime friends that you have not talked to in a while? How about committing to some ME-Time Now™ and giving them a call this week (even if it means actually scheduling a specific time to do so in your calendar to be sure you get to it). Instead of feeling like you are doing something frivolous or indulgent by spending your valuable time chatting with an old pal on the phone, you can think of it as honoring your Self with a healthy habit that could improve your health and increase your longevity!
See, we all knew that something as fun as catching up with our “bestest” girlfriends had to be good for us!
Live Positively Fulfilled!
