Positive Actions

     It is very easy to say "I'm going to start tomorrow" or "I can change".   I want to lose a few pounds so I tell myself I'm going to cut carbohydrates and exercise more.  My wife is always going to drop some weight and walk on the treadmill more often. Then life gets in the way.  With all of it's stress and demands, particularly at this time of year, we have a tendency to lose sight of the goals we wish to accomplish and we become complacent.
     We need to take the positive thinking and make it positive action.  When we think it, we need to set out a plan to do it, to make it happen, to accomplish our goals.  Make a game plan and stick with it.  My wife has decided that she is going to eat at least two of my famous "bean" lunches during the week.  Beans are said to be good for diabetics, controlling blood sugar while the fiber keeps you feeling full.  I eat them daily.  I miss running.  With the 12 hour work days, the papers that are due for class and the finals this week, I haven't been able to run much.  This week that will change, I will make the time for myself and my health.  You owe it to yourself to think through changes and then make the changes that will benefit your life.


Think it, then do it.
