AIM…  Happy New Year!!  Oh wait, that was two weeks ago, wasn’t it?  Yeah, I’m having a hard time getting motivated in this new year.  Enough excuses from me. Did you write or commit to any new year’s resolutions?  Truthfully, I wrote my resolutions but didn’t really get around to doing anything about them until this week.  I guess I needed to ease into the new year routines (at least that’s what I was telling myself.)

 So…how are you doing with your commitments?  Have you given up already?  Don’t fret if you’re struggling. We get a new day, every single day, so, Happy New Year – again!!  Yep, just start over again today and recommit as if it were January 1^st.  You never have to give up and feel like you’ve totally thrown in the towel. Who cares if you mess up or make a mistake or fall short of your goal?  Just start fresh again with your new day.

I hope you find encouragement in this revelation.  I know I’m going to start fresh tomorrow with some of my resolutions myself.  Let’s face it, we are all adults.  Sometimes we need an extra person to hold our hand or keep us accountable.  Identify that person you trust to keep you on track so when you feel like giving up, your accountability partner will be pushing you out of your funk.  I’m ready to attack 2013, are you?

FIRE!   Joyce Meyer says to “Stop putting a period where God places a comma.”  Choose one thing you are willing to commit to doing consistently. Work toward your goal, every day this week.  I’ll keep you accountable if you need someone to check up on you.  Let’s do this! 

Be Excellent!

Out With The Old, In With The New

AIM… Yep, I’m guilty. I got caught up in the Christmas chaos and craziness and then the Christmas let down and reality check. However, I’m giddy with anticipation about what the new year will bring.

As you look back at 2011, don’t dwell on the things you didn’t accomplish or the negative bummers you experienced. Instead, feel blessed by all the amazing things you were able to do and the positive steps forward you were able to take. 2011 is simply going to be a springboard of momentum into an incredible 2012. Happy New Year, Friends!

FIRE!   Tonight or tomorrow, jot down a few of the blessings you experienced in 2011. Yay you! Then, flip the page over and make a list of a few of the things you’d like to see happen in 2012. What a fun way to anticipate the fresh start of a new year!

Be Excellent!
