How many resolutions did you break this year?
1,...2...,3?
It's never easy to change your ways. Like a tree, once the branches have "set" they can't be twisted in another direction right? Wrong.
Think of Bonsai trees. You can mold the branches however you please with clamps and wire mesh.
That's all you need to find, some clamps (desire) and wire mesh (action).
Strong is he who forces his thoughts to control his actions.

I'm sure you have a million thoughts go through your head 24/7, while awake and when sleeping. You need to decide which ones you'll act upon. Some are positive and some are negative. Some support you and some dis-empower you.
You already know this. Then why do we get side-tracked?
EGO.
Your Ego needs to win. It always needs to be right. Your Ego is satisfied, comfortable, and hates change. It knows exactly how to talk to you.
You know that voice.
The one that comes on when you try something new, when you experience fear, when everything is going right.
It often starts with:"What if ___________" or

Learn to recognize it and say: Shut Up!
Then do what you wanted to do with desire and action.
If your goal is to start a strength training program then it becomes just like brushing your teeth. A habit. No thinking. No questions. No whining.
I need to train everyday (Voice says: But where will you find the time? You say: Shut Up!)
I will lose 15 pounds (Voice says: It's too hard, you'll never make it! You say: Shut Up!)
I must develop a strong, lean body (Voice says: You're fine the way you are, I'm hungry! You say: Shut Up!)
There, that's more like it, you're in control, the past does not equal the future.
This year things will be different. You bet.
Why?
Cause you'll have me by your side watching over you daily this year.
As always, Aim Higher,
