New Year, New Perspective As we resolve this New Year
to be more active, more disciplined, more appreciative, more… resist the
tendency to fall into those same old patterns of deprivation, restrictions
and regimens that even the most divine individual could never adhere
to. Let’s face it most of us
begin the new year with high hopes and high spirits only to become
disappointed and ultimately fall back into the same patterns or habits as
before. With a shift in perspective and some simple tips this year can be
different. By shifting your perspective
and having fun creating new habits instead of struggling to change the old
ones your mind will begin to adjust and accept the changes without feelings
of resentment or deprivation. First realize it takes time
to create a habit- good or bad. It’s not going to happen in a month or two give
yourself the whole year. Start with a clear plan outlined with small steps
to take throughout the year to reach your goal. Think outside the box while
creating your plan. If you want to lose weight don’t start with strict
diets or joining a gym. Kick it off with a “cooking” class in raw foods or
a pole dancing class. The key is to find an activity that brings a smile to
your face not a grimace. Each step should build upon
the other until you reach your goal. When one step becomes familiar or easy
you know its time to take the next step- from incorporating more fruits and
vegetables into your lifestyle through the preparation of raw foods to
growing your own herbs to make special teas to reduce the number of sodas
you drink. With careful planning, written
goals and small steps you can create new habits that will lead to a
healthier, happier and more joyous you in the New Year. Upcoming Events/News WIN $50.00 cash! Simply come to a class and enter to win our monthly drawing. Congratulations to our December winner Donna Wise!!!! Schedule Changes Check out our new schedule For the latest full schedule
