The new year is a time of hope and promise.<\/strong> We promise that we are going to lose weight, exercise more, de-clutter, stop smoking, walk the straight and narrow. We promise to get our act together in some way, shape or form.
\nA burst of hope accompanies each promise,<\/strong> followed by a wave of excited and elation! Your intentions are good but … as soon as you hit an unavoidable bump in the road … self-doubt sets in and your inner-critic (a.k.a. your evil twin<\/em>) pipes up.<\/p>\n

“I knew you couldn’t do it.”
\n“What’s wrong with you?”
\n“You’re no good, you’re no good, you’re no good.”
\n(Am I right, or am I right?!)<\/em><\/div>\n

Sooner or later your river of hope and enthusiasm runs dry,<\/strong> and you return to your old and tired ‘default setting.’ The old habits return, take hold and there you are again.
\nToday, I am asking you to please take a moment to think about what it means to make a promise to yourself. If you keep your promises to others, why then – when you promise yourself something – something so essential as health, wellness and joy – do you renege on your promise?
\n<\/p>\n

First and foremost, be true yourself.
\nKeep the promises you make to yourself.
\nMake this year the year!<\/div>\n
