ALREADY THINKING

Although we are smack in the middle of holiday planning, there are only a few weeks left until the new year. I am already thinking about what I want to accomplish in the year 2011. Some friends and I are getting together for a Vision Board Party right after Christmas. Idea courtesy of our good friend Misty. She is super organized and tidy and everything nice!! Oh, note to self for the board...#1. ORGANIZE EVERYTHING!!!! We will bring ideas for the new year and create a message board to hang for easy viewing throughout the year. The daily reminder of good intentions just might be the ticket to keeping your resolution. Remember last year, I adopted a theory from my father-in-law." What you do on New Years day is what you will do all year" he says. So, last year, I ran a 5K on New Years Day. I ran several other races including a 10K and Half Marathon after that. I was doing great and very motivated but was injured by the end of March. I think it may have rang true though, because I would still be running if my heel, shins and knees were able! (On a side note and something else to add to the board," Be careful not to do too much too soon"!) So, do something that you really want to accomplish on the first day of our new year and see how it works out for you!

I will leave you with a few quotes that I love, and maybe you will want to use them on your Vision Board as well....
