Welcome to the New Year!

This is my first Blog of the new year. I am just home after a wonderful two week holiday cruise in the Caribbean. I used some if this time to reflect, refresh my brain and prepare for 2011. Hope you had a restful holiday.


Life Coaching tips for a Successful 2011 Resolution

So the holidays are over, Christmas decorations are stored away and holiday pictures are displayed on your favorite social media site. Now the question:

How are you doing with your 2011 resolutuion?


In today’s blog I will offer you some tips to up your chances for success.

Tips to help you succeed with your 2011 Resolution


1. Write down on paper what it is you plan to achieve. What you resolve to do. Yes I said paper. You can always copy to a computer program.

2. Now look carefully at what you have written. How will you achieve this? What actions do you need to take to reach this goal?

3. What resources do you need in place? If it is to lose weight, do you need new walking shoes; do you need to join a gym; do you need to talk to your doctor?

4. Keep that paper and pencil handy. Now that you have listed the resolution or goal you want to achieve make a list of Action Steps needed to get you to where you want to be.

5. Take each Action Step and break it down into smaller Action Steps.

6. Assign a time line to each of you Action Steps.

7. Hold yourself accountable. Post these Action Steps where you can see them throughout your day.

8. Reward yourself on the completion of each Action. If losing weight is your Goal, make sure the reward doesn’t have too many calories.

9. Persist. Persist. Persist.

10. Reward yourself.

Remember, there will be times when you will hit a bump in the road, slow down but do continue. Don't take your stumbles as an excuse to give up.
