Don’t you just hate it when people ask you what your New Year’s Resolution is? “It’s to solve world hunger, now let me be.”

I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be such a crab but it just bothers me when I share my goals with people and they tell me “Oh, do you really think you can do that?”

Unfortunately, I think that happens to a lot of people. You tell your family and your friends that you are going to do something great and they then spend the next 10 minutes telling you all the reasons why you can’t do it. Huh? That doesn’t make any sense.

I’m here to tell you, that if you can think it in your mind, it is most definitely possible for you! I don’t care how big the goal is, how impossible it seems, or how many times you’ve tried before. “Whatever the mind of man believes, it can conceive” or something brilliant like that spoken by someone brilliant.

Do you know how many times Henry Ford went broke before he succeeded? 5 times!

Do you know how many people told Walt Disney he was crazy before he succeeded? Just about his whole family (and then some)!

…And do you know how many people have been telling you it’s “just too hard” to lose weight and get healthy? I predict at least 10 minumum (if not more).

Here’s what I want you to do (I mean I really want you to do it). I want you to set a goal so incredible, you are just going to amaze yourself and everyone around you when you get there. Now, stop thinking about all the reasons why you can’t. I don’t want to hear those reasons anymore. I want to hear why you CAN!

Here is how you will make it happen:

1. Write down this goal in detail. This is a must! I have yet to accomplish any goal without having written it down first (and that includes my 30 lb. weight loss goal). I want you to write it in as much detail as possible “I am going to lose 20 lbs and fit into my size 8 jeans. I am going to feel so lean and healthy and confident each day” and on and on I want you to write. I want you to write until you can practically feel what it would feel like to reach that goal.

2. Read your goal every single day. Not only do I want you to read it. I want you to feel it. Look, nobody is watching and I didn’t say you had to do this in the middle of Central Park. You can read and visualize your goal in the privacy of your own home.

3. Believe it is possible for you. Why can other people achieve their goal weight and the bodies they want and you can’t? Genetics? I don’t buy it. No time? I don’t buy it. No money? I don’t buy it. Go ahead try me….I don’t buy it!

I know what you are capable of because we are all capable of the same thing. To live life in the healthy bodies we know we were supposed to enjoy.

Now you tell me. What’s your New Year’s Resolution? (Oh, come on. You knew I was going to ask).

Post your resolution right here in the comments section and let us all keep you accountable this year.

Oh, and you’ll never guess what mine is going to be this year…Stay tuned.

In health and happiness,
