Change You Can Believe In (and plan for)

by pribut on January 18, 2009

Whatever your politics are, wherever you live, not just in the United States, but all over the world, people are hoping for change. And there is a lot that needs to be changed. In fact some things have been so bad that any change will have to be for the better.

But, as the expression goes, all politics is local. And right at home is where you can get your goal list out, review it, and see how those changes are going. That’s the list of things you want to accomplish this year. The list you made a few weeks ago. And if you didn’t get that list made, do it now. Some people have been working on change for years. Some have been working on how to express the changes they want for months, if not years. We are bound to hear some inspiring phrases this week. But you have to get inspired to get that list made, plan how you’ll accomplish your list, and consider it done. Fitness goals, weight goals, body composition goals, life goals: figure them out, write them down, and plan to get things done. Most of the things you want to accomplish will not happy overnight. Some things will take months or longer. Patience will be important. So will a plan. And short term, intermediate term, and long term goals need to be determined, followed, evaluated, and checked off.

And one more thing, it is time to evaluate what is standing in your way of your goals. Clean them up and move on. If it is not enough sleep, bad food, too much alcohol or cigarettes, give those up and move on. For the example-in-chief, who’ll be inspiring many this week: Yes you can! You can give up those cigarettes. Then those gym trips, or that personal gym in that right in the middle of DC home will feel even better.  Yes you can and yes we can! We all can and should.  Change starts at home. Be The Change. 

 

Be The Change
