Happy First Sunday of the New Year!  Hoping that everyone enjoyed their holidays with family and friends and looking forward to the New Year unfolding!!  It was a wonderful holiday at my house, thanks to technology - Face Time with my kiddos on the East Coast vs being home for the holidays.  And lots of mini celebrations with wonderful family and friends.  I am truly blessed.

Setting a New Year's resolution is a common tradition to celebrate change in the upcoming year that dates back to ancient Roman celebrations. To successfully achieve your goals for the new year, make the resolution a positive and attainable habit -
         I will join a gym and workout more vs Spend 10 minutes 3x a week walking
         I will consume more water vs Drink 8oz  of filtered water 4x a day
         I will meditate more vs Daily Devotional reading
         I will journal daily vs Gratitude journaling daily before retiring

Also, remember it takes on average 66 days to turn a goal into a habit.  Be gentle with yourself - if you falter on a goal, give yourself permission to restart and not to entirely abandon the goal.  Revisit the goal to see what aspect could be changed to pique your personal interest - change the exercise from walking to running, add fruit to infuse the water, setup reminders on your devotion app.
                                           
                                                              Happy New You!!!
