Ready To Rock The New Year?

Thursday January 1, 2009

Okay, it's time. Many of us are trying to recover from ringing in the new year, and most of us are thinking about what the new year will be like. Perhaps we're taking stock of the standout events from last year, and wondering what the new year will bring. Perhaps we're looking at what we'd like to do differently with our lives--changes big and small--that would get us closer to the less-stressed, more-fulfilled existence we strive for. Even most of those who are wary of resolutions at least give a passing thought to this kind of stuff--we can't help it! And that's one of the great things about being human--hope!

I'll admit that I'm a resolution-maker, or rather, a goal-setter. I don't do resolutions in the traditional way (try to make a new change with no buildup, and then lose interest or give up after the first slip-up); I've tried that approach, and have found a much better way. (Yes, I'll share it with you here!)

I bring this up because one of my big resolutions this year is to create more ongoing support for change for those who seek to make stress relief part of their lifestyle and not just something to learn about in theory. (And that's most of us, isn't it?) Making lasting change can be tricky, and without a plan and some support, most people find it too easy to let life get in the way of their goals. So I'll be helping with more e courses, bigger groups of articles, and more ways to get connected with this site.

(Wondering how I'll do on this goal? Keep checking in, and we'll see!)

But enough about my goals--what are your goals for the new year? If you're looking for ideas on how to live a happier, healthier life, I have just the thing for you! The following can get you inspired for what is possible in 2009:
