Back to school -- A fresh start

As you know preperation is required before the kids go back to school for the new year. They need new clothes and school supplies. Schedules change; activities begin. If you have children then your schedule probably needs to adjust as well. This is an opportunity for you to get a fresh start with the goals that are important to you that you may have forgotten about over the summer. If you'd like follow these steps to get started:

1) Set a start date. Going back to school the date is set for you but you can create your own date to get started with your goals. Pick and date and stick to it.

2) Prepare for your start date. Get the supplies you need. If you want to lose weight there may be foods you want to purchase, and foods you want to get rid of before your start date. If you want to find a new relationship you can start looking for new activities to participate in. Remember -- if you keep doing things the same way your results will never change. Find new things to do.

3) Do your homework. Create your action items. Action; and only action gets results. Having a vague goal gets you no where.

4) Have fun! Feel the excitment of starting something new. It may feel a bit scary but sometimes that's excitment and not fear. Planning can help to get you ready.

All the best!
