  Every year many of us find ourselves making two major commitments, as well as two major broken promises. If you haven’t already guessed what it might be you will know exactly what I am referring to in just a moment. Commitment number one, the infamous “New Years Resolution” to lose weight, eat healthier, quit smoking, and earn more money. These commitments rank number one on the lists that my friends, family, and even myself follow at the start of each year. However, most resolutions are broken by the middle of February, hence broken promise number one. The second biggest commitment made?; getting “in-shape” for the summer. This is something many of us start as the weather warms our skin, but as the months go by we often make excuses as to why exercise isn’t possible or maybe we justify that eating saturated fat ridden treats is alright. This would be broken promise number two.

  So what can we do, and does it really matter if we don’t always follow through with commitments? Yes! It matters so greatly that it can affect your entire life. How is that? The more we break promises to ourselves the less we trust ourselves, and the less we trust ourselves the lower our self esteem becomes. Self esteem affects more than just physical appearance, it can get so low that our confidence to obtain other goals will seem near impossible. Our relationships amongst friends, family, and our spouse can be inhibited by lack of trust for your self. We must live with the person we are for the remainder of our lives, if we do not trust that person within us, how will you ever truly trust those who are not ourselves? The answer is, you never really can. With that said, we need a solid plan of action to start obtaining goals.

  Today, we focus on gearing up for the summer, however, these plans of action can be modified and reapplied to any situation that your are passionate about accomplishing. Some of the most common goals that most want to obtain is getting “in-shape” which can mean increasing muscle tone, losing weight, and even banishing acne or eczema out breaks. There are thousands upon thousands of diet plans available to help us lose weight, there are millions of exercise routines to build muscle, and there are billions of dermatological products to help us get ready for the summer. At the end of the day the best way to get in shape is to commit. Write down that you vow to commit to whatever it is you would like to accomplish for at least 30 days. It takes 28-30 days to make or break a habit so it is important that you give whatever it is your are doing at lease this amount of time. The perk? Within two weeks you should begin to see slight results, and start enjoying the newly found routine giving you the confidence to simply push onto two more weeks.

  Every single person is an individual. Between genes, hormones, gender, age, appearance, and personality, there is no set of two people who are the same. That is why you must be open to the massive slue of information, ideas, and products out there, and know that what may work for one person may not work for you, but something else will. Next week, I will bring more advice to the table to help you actually begin to implement the goals you would like to fulfill. Stay tuned!
