Resolutions/ Goals for the New Year

Many people make resolutions for the new year with the intention of keeping them all. May I suggest that you make resolutions you know you can keep then exceed them. Don't let outside opinions influence your choices.

If you're setting goals for your health and diet, start out with small changes. Don't change your diet completely because small changes can be incorporated into your diet and quickly become a way of life.

Use vitamins to combat the food cravings. Example: I take 2 high-potency vitamins a day (1 in the morning and 1 late afternoon). I've added 4 vegetables to my diet this year and have almost cut junk food completely out of my diet. Sometimes I only eat a bowl of vegetables. I drink at least 1 gallon of water a day and I consume no soda. This is from a person that drank almost 2 cases of soda a week. The kicker is I've lost dress sizes without trying and I don't crave or miss soda at all.

The goals I set don't leave me frustrated and so I continue to do them year after year. I just try to do more than I did in the previous year. I feel I'm not limiting myself to any one area/thing with these goals. I've made them part of my daily life but because the Father is Infinite there is always more available. No matter what I undertake I look to experience the Father in everything (which makes things much more rewarding).

My goals:
1) Fully enjoy and experience as much of the Father's creations as I can
2) To share the love of the Father with everyone I can
3) To allow the Holy Spirit to work through me for the Glory of the Father
4) To dive deeper into the Father and experience more of His presence
5) Do something to replenish or rejuvenate my body

Everything else is a Bonus for me :-) Especially the food thing.
