Anyone reading this that has started a diet over the weekend and/or joined a gym, raise your hand.
Yup, I thought as much – nearly 90 percent of you. Although I can guess this is probably not the first time you’ve danced this tango and you surely realize it won’t be the last. In fact, you continue to believe this is the year you will finally reach “The Healthy You.” This is the year you will succeed in whatever goal you have in mind.
The famous saying by Albert Einstein about the definition of insanity (doing the same thing the same way over and over, yet expecting different results) has its place in our culture yet many people still don’t heed these words by this famous and brilliant icon. Instead they continue to join a gym and go on “The Diet” January first, year after year. Then they are surprised that they succumb to their old ways before March rolls around. This may sound like discouraging words – but wait – there’s more. Not more discouraging words but more information about “The Healthy You.” There will be more information in this blog that might catapult you towards the village of Healthy Land.
This is not to say you should never start a New Year’s resolution, just think about doing something different this year for your own New Year plan. Tomorrow, Susan will tell you about her own healthy plans that don’t include lofty and unsustainable goals. Stay tuned…
No resolutions...just must be healthier.
