Choose Wisely

As the East Coast braces itself for a blizzard, closing schools and offices before a snowflake even appears, we are reminded that there are some things that are completely out of our control. It's frustrating to be at the mercy of Mother Nature, or anyone or anything for that matter. What we can do is make good use of the things we can control.

Our lives have been shaped by things we've controlled—the choices we've made. Think about where you live, the shape you're in, the job you're doing, who you're in a relationship with, who you hang out with, how you spend your free time. Are you happy with the choices you've made? Are you content with who you are the way you are?

If you are, great! If not, today's the day to make some choices that will put you on track to become the person you want to be, living the life you want to lead. You just need to choose to do things differently.

Not happy with your weight? Choose to stop eating foods that are processed, fried, and full of sugar. Choose to eat whole foods and lean protein & vegetables at every meal. Choose to stop drinking soda, juice and other drinks with empty calories. Choose to drink more water.

Not happy with the shape you're in? Choose to stop watching tv or surfing the net for an hour when you could be working out. Choose to make exercising a priority - choose to wake up early if need be. Choose to exercise with purpose & intensity - hire a trainer if you need help :)

Not happy with your relationship? Choose to get out of it or choose to take actions to fix it, if you think that's possible.

Not happy with your job? Choose to stop going through the motions just because you're comfortable where you are. Choose to start a job search, network, take classes towards switching careers.

The beginning of the new year is the perfect time to make impactful choices—start now and look forward to exciting results!
