Motivation Monday: New Year Goal

Motivation Monday is a new segment I'll be implementing for 2010. The thought is it will be little doses of motivation and the beginning of each week. Hopefully it's something that will inspire. It seems appropriate for the first entry to be about the New Year.

I believe the biggest concept we need to keep in the forefront of our minds as we're embarking on change is to honor where we're at. Practice grace, patience and understanding with ourselves as we work towards improvement. It's not going to happen over night and it's not going to be as easy as we might initially think. There will be times that we want to quit but keep the big picture in mind. Change is gradual. After a year of working at disciplining myself with indulging in one sweet per week instead of ten, it's just beginning to come together. It's a process and change that could take quite awhile.

Remember patience.
