Every New Year brings a new beginning and a fresh chance to improve the future. Especially, with regards to our self, we have the ability to grow and adapt, augmenting and advancing our state of being every year. Weather your goals are academic or commercial. For the home or at work. Making a “resolution” simply means “a firm decision” and having “determination” with your goal orientated plans. New Year resolutions help us to stop looking at the past and move forward into the future. Here are some ideas for a healthier you.
1. Weight loss. After the holidays we might have picked up a few extra pounds. There are many ways to diet and not always to eat less but more of the right kind of foods. The Alkaline-Acid Diet is very good and is simply eating more fresh fruit and vegetables. Eating more fish and less red meat. Eating slower helps you to eat less portions, your not in a race, and your body will feel full but not bloated. Drink more water, it has no sugar or calories. Keeping a diet schedule is more mental than anything. Attitude is important. Constantly remembering what your goal is. This is your gift to yourself. To make a new you. How many pounds do you want to lose? 10? 20? 30? Weigh yourself often, and monitor that keeping your goal in mind. Walk more and ride less. Walking helps to digest the food and is very good for the cardiovascular system. So don’t just eat right, eat better. An apple a day just might keep that Doctor away.

Friendships can last a life time and give so much joy. So nourish them and cultivate friendship with love and understanding.

If you can make it to the Gym using their exercising equipment is fine, but you can still do a good workout at home. You can workout while watching TV or playing music for 20 minutes. Working on the cardio is key. While inside use a chair, a broom, small weights, apply Yoga techniques, walking, running, and bicycling, when outside. Workout with family and friends for fun and support.

But books have been around for thousands of years and still hold a tome of treasure and enjoyment in them. So put down the iphone with it’s small screen and read text that is large and easy to read, easily available with less search time, and something that can’t be loss on accidental deletion. Grab a book, magazine, newspaper or your favorite journal and sit back and relax, and start reading.
