12/2/16 Now that December has approached us, the new year is also approaching. Every year I see and hear people talk about a new year's resolution, and while I think they help people take time to focus on themselves, don't just wait for the new year to begin. From losing weight to learning a new hobby or maybe even just self reflection, make sure you not only stay with what you promise yourself, you own it.

I myself think of new year resolutions 5-6 months in advance. Why? Because when the new year approaches, I want to already accomplish what I started out to do, and the new year gave me a date to do it. While not all are that far in advance, having a goal date in mind will make you drastically more productive and keep you focused.

Time in time again, I hear people say months after the new year they gave up what their new year resolution was or just stopped talking about it so hopefully no one asks how's it going for them. Have a goal in mind and stick to it.

You can also do more than one, don't just say you'll lose 10 lbs and that's it for bettering yourself. Why stop there? Pick up that new hobby, spend more time with friends and family, take that vacation, learn that new skill. You are not restricted to that one!

You can do this, I believe in you. Get started today!

P.S. My new year resolution was to take new certifications,  start building my own practice and to spend more quality time with friends and family.
