Happy New Year 2007!!
Check out Mari's TOP
PICKS for your "New Year's Resolutions"
Are you among the many Americans who set resolutions
every January? (Personally, I prefer INTENTIONS over
resolutions). Here's the thing - on average, only about 20%
of us actually manage to keep our New Year's resolutions!
Most gurus out there would have us believe the secret
to success is to find your flaws and fix them. This
is hogwash. (If all we had to do is "fix our flaws"
we'd all be living the life of our dreams, right?!). See,
intrinsically, people do not change.
We are each motivated by our own internal factors
and the secret is to design a lifestyle around our STRENGTHS!
Not to waste energy trying to improve all those areas
we're "weak" at. Forget that strategy - it simply
doesn't work.
If you don't know what your strengths and motivators
are, here are my TOP two picks to help you:
|
|
|
| Who Am I
by Steven Reiss, PhD - Dr. Reiss discovered that we
are all internally motivated by 16 different desires
(15 of which are traced to primal roots). Reiss' book
includes a free assessment. However, if you'd like a
more comprehensive computer assessment, contact
me. |
NOW Discover
Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham & Donald
O Clifton. Book comes with a special code to get your
free assessment. There are 34 different strengths and
the assessment reveals your top five. |
There are many, many other personality assessments
available - I highly recommend you take as many as you can
get your hands on!
Self-knowledge is a critical factor in creating a fulfilling
life now - not later! :) Self-knoweldge is also a
key component in attracting a good mate, if you're single!
If you're interested to know where to access packages
of assessments, contact
me.
Okay, now on to the "NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS!!"
Take a browse through these various categories below and check
out my top recommendations. Each one is hand-picked and tested
by yours truly!
Studies show battle of the 'bulge' and 'budget' are top of
the list - so I've included these two categories first! :)
Cheers,

Going to the gym not your thing?
Me neither - I was one of those people who paid for
gym membership for years and never went. For the first
year, I went a lot and even hired a personal trainer.
Then it just didn't work for me.
So, that's when I discovered The
Firm - workout videos that include aerobics and
weight-training. They're fun, include lots of variety,
good music, great instructors... and they really work!!
I've been using these for years now and love them! My
husband uses them too and is in great shape (yummy abs,
lats and pecs!!!). |

One in Five Americans Expected to
Set New Year Resolutions
Author: LifeTango.com
Published on Dec 28, 2006, 06:57
Last January, an estimated 45 million Americans, or approximately
one in five adults, set an average of three New Year resolutions
each, according to the results of a nationwide phone survey
conducted in December by LifeTango.com.
Battle of the 'Bulge' and 'Budget' Top the List
Of those setting resolutions, nearly three in four set a
resolution related to diet, weight loss, or exercise -- not
surprising when you consider that two-thirds of American adults
are overweight and about one in three is considered to be
obese, according to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
The second most common resolutions were financial and budget-related,
also not surprising considering debt statistics. According
to the Consumer Federation of America, the average household
with debt carries $10,000 to $12,000 in total revolving debt.
Within this context, and on the heels of holiday shopping
sprees that see credit-card debt spike each year, roughly
two in five Americans who set resolutions hoped to control
their spending or improve their financial situation.
Friends, Internet Offer Support
In the study, LifeTango.com found that people who
set resolutions with another person were 40 percent more likely
to accomplish those resolutions. As a result, managers
of the site recommend finding a friend or family member who
will work on a resolution with you.
Another suggestion is to write down your resolutions or record
them on a computer or the internet. LifeTango.com
founder Brent Johnson notes, "Though only one in four
people setting resolutions recorded them, those that did were
25 percent more likely to accomplish their goals."

Decide What You Want
by Jack Canfield
In order to get what you want, you must first decide what
you want. Most people really foul up at this crucial first
step because they simply can’t see how it’s possible
to get what they want — so they don’t even let
themselves want it.
Don’t sabotage yourself that way!
What scientists now know about how the brain works is that
you must first decide WHAT you want, before your brain can
figure out HOW to get it. Once you lock-in your desires, your
mind and the universe can step in.
Are you ready to get started?
Be Willing to Dream BIG Dreams
As soon as you commit to a big dream and really go after it,
your subconscious creative mind will come up with big ideas
to make it happen. You’ll start attracting the people,
resources, and opportunities you need into your life to make
your dream come true. Big dreams not only inspire you, they
compel others to want to play big, too.
Set Goals That Will Stretch You
Another value in giving yourself permission to go after the
big dreams is that big dreams require you to grow in order
to achieve them. In fact, in the long run, that is the greatest
benefit you will receive from pursuing your dreams —
not so much the outer trappings of fulfilling the dream (an
expensive car, impressive house, loads of money and philanthropic
opportunities), but who you become in the process.
As I’ve seen many times over, the outer symbols of
success can all be easily lost. Houses burn down, companies
go bankrupt, relationships end, cars get old, bodies age and
fame wanes, but who you are, what you have learned, and the
new skills you have developed never go away. These are the
true prizes of success. Motivational philosopher, Jim Rohn
advises that “You should set a goal big enough that
in the process of achieving it, you become someone worth becoming.”
Service to Others
Something else you’ll discover is that when your dreams
include service to others — accomplishing something
that contributes to others — it also accelerates the
accomplishment of that goal. People want to be part of something
that contributes and makes a difference.
Turn Your Dreams into Goals and Objectives
Once you are clear about what you want, you must turn each
item into a measurable objective. By measurable, I mean measurable
in space and time — how much and by when. For instance,
if you were to tell me that you wanted more money, I might
pull out a dollar and give it to you, but you would probably
protest, saying “No, I meant a lot more money —
like $20,000!” Well, how am I supposed to know unless
you tell me? Similarly, your boss, your friends, your spouse,
your brain — God, the Universe — can’t figure
out what you want unless you tell them specifically what it
is. What do you want — exactly — and when do you
want it by?
Write Your Goals Down
Write your goals down in detail, and read your list of goals
every day. This will keep your subconscious mind focused on
what you want. For an even more powerful approach, close your
eyes and focus on each goal and ask yourself, "What is
one thing I could do today to move toward the achievement
of this goal?" Write down your answers and take those
actions.
I recommend writing down a minimum of 3 goals in each of
the following 7 areas:
1. Financial Goals
2. Career/Business Goals
3. Free Time/Family Time
4. Health/Appearance Goals
5. Relationship Goals
6. Personal Growth
7. Making a Difference
To help your reticular activating system begin finding YOUR
wants in unexpected places, take time now to decide what you
want and start writing!
If you want help getting started, I have a handy worksheet
for you that models this formula, including examples. Click
here to download this free resource and start creating all
that you want from your life this year.
Remember, don't hold back!
