We're calloused to the word resolution?

Try an intention instead of a resolution!

Each year many of us make resolutions to take better care of ourselves.   You know the deal.  Some of us want to get more exercise and lose weight or body fat percentage.   Others want to break away from sweets or get more sleep.  The list may contain a good half dozen or so and all contribute toward a healthier lifestyle and ultimately a better & healthier you.

I had the habit of making resolutions but that carried the connotation of a new year.  Easy come, easy go. Now I make monthly intentions or goals, if you want to call them that too, and I write them down.  Each week I try to do at least one action toward that intention.   These actions incrementally have helped me reach my intentions. 

As we put away the Christmas decorations and wrapping until next year, some of us have got accustomed to the word resolution and will once again only make and look at them in the New Year.  Try setting a monthly intention starting in the New Year and see if you get better results.   

Give it all you got and as Tony Horton says "Do your best and forget the rest!"
