Christmas is near, and New Years is about a week away – and that means you’re probably only 7 or so days away from making a New Years Resolution.  I’ve got a better idea. 

Every year at New Years, most folks I know wait until the clock strikes midnight and make a resolution to force them self to do everything this they didn’t do last year.  It never works.  Well a few years ago I changed my thinking. 

Instead of making a resolution, sometime around Christmas, I sit down and give myself a gift.  I make a list of things like more time to exercise and eat right, more time with family, more money – you know the basics. 

The trick is, I give those things to myself as a gift – and since I respect the person who gave them to me – I use them.  It may sound funny but think about it.  What if somebody did give you more time, more money, a better body - would you take it?  You bet you would. 

So do the same for yourself.  Don’t resolve – gift.  I know it sounds simple – but sometimes, simple works.

Hey, it’s all about moving – do some now so that you can do more, later.
