Please feel free to leave comments below.<br \/>\n<strong>Why is it that our New Year&#8217;s Resolutions wear thin?<\/strong><br \/>\n1. <strong>How Excited and Inspired Are You, Really?<\/strong>  Are the goals you set your own, or are they coming from the &#8216;shoulds&#8217; &#8211; &#8216;musts&#8217;  and &#8216;have tos&#8217;  that other people have laid upon you? If you are not excited, forgetaboutit.<br \/>\n2. <strong>Did You Bite Off More than You Can Chew?<\/strong> Be realistic for goodness sake.  You can&#8217;t start off with 300 pound weights.  Try a 3 pounder first!  Small changes create big results.<br \/>\n3. <strong>Help!!!<\/strong>  No woman is an island unto herself.  We all need people in our lives that can help and lend support.  Make a two column list right now.   On the left side list your resolutions.  On the right side, list who can help you!<br \/>\n4. <strong>Did You Write it Down?<\/strong> No! Well you gotta!  Statistics show that 75% of what we write down happens.  Putting your goals on paper both alerts your brain that you are &#8220;open for business,&#8221; as well as sending a strong and positive message to the universe, declaring that you are, indeed, &#8220;in the game!&#8221;<br \/>\n5. <strong>What&#8217;s your plan?!  Huh?<\/strong> You don&#8217;t have one! Writing down your goals is important, but a plan is what keeps you on track.<br \/>\n6. <strong>What&#8217;s your first action step? <\/strong> Like hola, Tushkateers! Writing it down and making a detailed plan are important steps, but then you must take action.<br \/>\n7. <strong>Don&#8217;t Let Life Get in the Way.<\/strong>   It&#8217;s easy to let life take over.  Going to work, getting the laundry done, going to your kids&#8217; soccer games, etc. etc.   We barely have time to breathe! I get it!!!  Therefore, you must schedule your goals.  Whatever it is that you need to do to manifest, put it on your calendar.  Even grocery shopping for fruits &amp; veggies.<br \/>\n8. <strong>Go Towards the Positive vs. Pushing Away from Negative<\/strong>.  Instead of focusing on the negative habit you want to let go of, look toward your happy, compelling future.  For instance, if you want to quit smoking, focus on what a healthy life looks like.   Remember, we manifest what we focus on.<br \/>\n9. <strong>Drowning in Drama<\/strong>.  At some point, doubt and fear will surface. When your &#8216;evil twin&#8217; speaks to you, rather than believe that voice and get sucked into the drama, you need to move back into action, immediately.   It takes a strong &#8216;want power&#8217; muscle to do it, but I know that you have it in you!<br \/>\n10. <strong>Failure is Feedback.<\/strong>  Brace yourself, friends.  You will fail here and there, because failure is a part of the process.  When things aren&#8217;t going your way; when your action plan isn&#8217;t working, it&#8217;s time to review and revamp!  Failure is merely feedback.  Tweak it and move on. No ten year detours allowed!<br \/>\nSpread the word &#8230; NOT the icing!<br \/>\nJanice<br \/>\n________________________________<br \/>\nDoes your weight loss chart look like an EKG?<br \/>\nIn need of a coach? <a href=\"mailto:janice@ourladyofweightloss.com\">Write Janice<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Follow Janice on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/OurLady\">Twitter<\/a> and\/or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/home.php#\/profile.php?sid=d82081eb96fa8033ec096ad6ccfd2b0a&amp;id=557881698&amp;hiq=janice%2Ctaylor\">Facebook<\/a>! <\/p>\n<p>Join the <a href=\"http:\/\/community.beliefnet.com\/kick_in_the_tush_club\"><strong>Our Lady of Weight Loss&#8217;s Kick in the Tush Club<\/strong><\/a>: <a class=\"zem_slink\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Beliefnet\" title=\"Beliefnet\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Beliefnet<\/a> Chapter.<\/p>\n<p>Visit:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\">www.OurLadyofWeightLoss.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.janicetaylorliving.com\">www.JaniceTaylorLiving.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning at 8 a.m. Eastern time, Janice Taylor, Life &amp; Wellness Coach is headed to the Martha Stewart radio (Sirius) studios, where she will be chatting about New Year&#8217;s Resolutions with hosts Betsy and Kim.
