Good afternoon

January 1 2009 Happy new years day

 

Hey! I really think I'm getting addicted to this blogging thing I can't stay away.   Its already a habit for me , and to be honest with you my friends I'm so going to miss    my blogging for several weeks, but I couldn't leave you without doing my last post  before I catch my greyhound  bus    to   start phase one of the boot camp training. Just remember that I'll be back!

I miss yall already.

 

I hope you are having a wonderful New Year.

I hope 2009 brings you much health, wealth and happiness.

 

 What are you going to do to make 2009 your best year ever?

The New Year Begins With Some Resolutions , and here is a wonderful written article that I found from www.womensselfesteem.com that will show us how to keep all our resolutions for the year.

I also have a wonderful audio post for you today that is from a great  motivator called steve maraboli titled  how to pop for the new year

A new years resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to a project

or the reforming of a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted

as advantageous. The name comes from the fact that these commitments normally go

into effect on New Year's Day and remain until fulfilled or abandoned."

Sounds like a good plan, does it not?

Like any good plan that starts with a good intention and a goal insight....if this

plan is not carried through to the end, the plan then fails.

The word commitment is the key to succeeding with any plan ultimately resulting in

reaching your goal!

Popular Resolutions

*Lose weight

*Gain weight

*Save money

*Quit smoking

*Get more sleep

*Get a better job

*Drink less alcohol

*Be more independent

*Go to church more often

*Keep the house cleaner

*Spend more time with family *Worry less

*Smile more

*Trust in faith

*Compare less

*Know yourself

*Learn to listen

*Accept yourself

*Learn to forgive

*Love yourself first

*Be good to yourself

*Be an honest person

* Learn to stroll through life

*Live for today, not yesterday

*Think more positive thoughts

*Accept others for who they are

*Understand your importance to others

*Treat others as they want to be treated

*Find your purpose in life & embrace it

These are just a few of my own day to day resolutions ... or goals as I would like

to think of them.

To say you will wait until New Years Day to begin your goals is adding negative pressure

on to a life which is already being challenged with tough realities and situations.

Hence you will more than not give up and find yourself once again feeling disgusted

or depressed with the fact that you failed to remain committed to your resolutions

once again.

Be careful to not except from yourself what you cannot carry through. Keeping your

self-expectations simple will help you in succeeding in reaching your goal.

Self-Expectations can drag you under if they are too high or given no time to reach.

You  have all felt the weight of expecting too much from yourselves...this feeling

does not help you in moving forward...if anything it will slow you down to a dead

stop.

A good way to keep your expectations under control is by writing down one thing that

you want to achieve that day, every morning while you drink your coffee or juice.

Post it on your refrigerator, your desk at work,  even your forehead if necessary.

This is your only expectation above your daily regiment for that day, so work very

hard at reaching that goal.

When you are ready for bed, write down the date and the goal that you managed to

reach that day. Carry this on throughout the year, you will eventually do it as part

of your daily routine. When the next New Year comes around, you will not only feel

good about reaching so many of those goals or resolutions but you can also pat yourself

on the back for creating a positive habit of maintaining your years resolutions daily

instead of just once a year..

Your New Year Resolution will now become what you have succeeded in doing to close

a year instead of what you are going to do to open a year!

If you want to do anything in your life, then you have to work at it EVERY DAY! If

you want to change your negative thoughts into positive ones, you must change them

EVERYDAY!

Why do you want to wait until the year is over to worry about what you should have

or could have done?

When I read someone's worries about what they did not accomplish through out the

year, my first thought is why don`t you think about what you have accomplished this

year.

The only question you can answer with any certainty is whether you loved yourself

enough in 2008. Our problems should not define us. The way we resolve them should!

We do so much EVERY DAY that we do not even realize it. We raise our children, we

keep our families in tact, we do our best in our work place, we are there when a

friend is in need, we put our own wants and desires aside for others, we do things

to just make people smile, we are always thinking of someone else instead of ourselves.

We do so many things already that we forget to pat ourselves on the back for the

little things in life. When we can start to appreciate ourselves for those little

things that we do EVERYDAY, then and only then, can we raise our self-esteem to its

highest place.

Sweet People, EVERY DAY for the rest of your lives, your resolutions should start

as soon as you open your eyes in the morning.

Now go &

 live life like it is the precious gift that it is!

ONWARD & UPWARD!

And next year's words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning.

recession, holiday, money, article, empower

Good afternoon

A rainy Christmas Eve

 

Boy! Its been so busy here today. I feel like I’m being pulled from all directions.

There’s still so many things I need to do, and I don’t know where to start help!

I bet you that the UPS guy must hate my gutts by now because  hes been making deliveries for me all day. Hey! Like there jingle says “ What can brown do for you?” I am so happy  because all the gifts have arrived today including that prize that I won from the computer show  last month woohoo!   Now I don’t have to worry about a thing!

 

As I continued to crash into all these boxes looking for my way  to the livingroom I was quickly reminded that  I  really had to start wrapping up all the gifts now because today is  Christmas eve.

The countdown is now on, and my stress levels are going way up!

Come join me  as I sit beside my virtual yule log and listen to Christmas tunes  drinking some home maide spanish egg nog.

Tonight is going to be a wrapping good time.

Click here enjoy my fireplace.

 

Since we are in the topic of wrapping up gifts I  guess this will be a good  segway to share  this article with you today.

 

“It's hard to not get wrapped up in the

holiday

 spirit when it comes to spending,” says Peters “a reporter of mainstreet.com But just like eggnog, it can leave

you with a nasty hangover.”

 

Avoid the Biggest Holiday Spending Mistakes

By Jeffrey Strain

 

Even with the economy in a recession, people want to celebrate the winter holidays.

For some, the holidays are an excuse to veer from a budget. In good times, the damaged

from doing so can be repaired in the following months with a bit of effort. However,

trying to undo the hurt from overspending over the holidays will be a lot harder

in 2009.

Here are some common financial mistakes people make during the holidays and how you

can avoid them.

Giving gifts that require extra expenditures.

 Many gifts come with costs that go beyond their purchase price. If you buy your

kids that fancy new

phone

, there is going to be a phone bill every month. If you buy the latest video-game

console, it won't be long before the kids want new games. A recession is a time during

which you want to limit expenses, not add more. Eliminating gifts that come with

added expenses can be the difference between staying above water and sinking into

debt next year.

Using emergency funds. When

money

 is tight, some people reach into their emergency fund to help tide them over. Knowing

this, they feel comfortable that they will be able to replenish the emergency fund

in the first few months of the new year. This may work when the economy is strong,

but in a recession, it's a risky move.

No matter how tight money may be, holiday

gifts

, parties and other related expenses are not emergencies. An emergency fund ought

to be full during a recession because that is when it's most likely to be needed.

A smart move would be to add to it.

 

Assuming you're immune.

 Some people believe they can ignore a recession because they work in an industry

that is less vulnerable than others or they think they are indispensable to their

employer. Nobody is completely immune during a recession, and you should be planning

the holidays with that in mind. It's far easier to find you were overly cautious

in your financial planning than not.

There are plenty of ways to have a good time this

holiday

 season without spending a lot. Noting the common spending pitfalls and remembering

that the

memories

 people value most can't be bought, you may find that this

holiday season  is much more fun without all the spending.
