New Year's Resolutions

Do you make resolutions at the beginning of each year? As an Arbonne consultant, I have access to some great free training. The training has helped me tremendously. There is a suggestion that is repeated over and over in the trainings: When you set a goal, write it down. Studies show that even if you never look at that piece of paper where you wrote down your goal, the odds are better that you will achieve the goal than if you never wrote it down.

Another thing that will help you with your goals this year is to applaud yourself for goals you reached last year. Success brings success. Practice makes perfect, reach a few goals and you are more likely to reach new ones.

If you don't know where to start with your resolutions or goals, try this one: Be kind. The funeral for President Ford was on TV this morning. The media has painted Ford as a kind man. I am hoping that the publicity around the funeral will help people decide that to be kind is a worthy goal.
