It’s already March! Which resolutions did you prevent from happening and why?
Before you opened the page to this blog today, you made a decision to follow through with your resolutions this year or not. If you’ve had success, I congratulate you. If not…why?
In my mind, resolutions are about trusting yourself and creating new behaviors. We can put forth the effort toward improving our health and lifestyle, confidence or find the strength to forgive someone who has thrown obstacles in our way.
I am grateful every day for what I have. Twenty years ago, I couldn’t have imagined my life now. If I hadn’t made up my mind to change my behavior and trust myself, I doubt I would be writing about resolutions. The key was to become inspired by something that could facilitate rebuilding my self-esteem.
Inspiration is a funny thing. Pain is what inspired me to make changes in my career. After months and months of trying to figure out what I wanted to do after my former business partner and I split, a dear friend suggested I become a fitness trainer for older adults and seniors. A light bulb fired at 600 watts in my head! In order for me to avoid becoming a victim again, I had to change my behavior, go back to school. I made a promise to myself to work harder than ever.
