Being healthy is everywhere you look, so you feel like it’s time you did it too. You join the local gym, set your alarm early four mornings a week and throw yourself into smashing your new year goals.

Your body aches. It hurts to sit down and walk up the stairs. You’re wondering if this healthy living thing just isn’t for you.

By the end of January, you’ve thrown the towel in. It’s impossible to get healthy. It hurts too much. You don’t have time. You feel worse, not better.

Do you know that so many people put off getting out of bed each morning? They delay starting their day, their life. They hit the snooze button, wanting to hide from what’s ahead of them. For these people, this means they’ve already lost the battle for control of their day. They’ve put off the first decision of the day - waking up on time and getting out of bed!

Is this you? Are you ready to take back control and live your day the way you dream of?

Is all this talk of living your best life fantasy or reality? Can you really build the life you dream of and feel you’re living with intention and purpose each day?

I truly believe we are all capable of living the life we dream of. When you connect with the vision of who you want to be and how you want to live, you can begin to walk the path to make it happen. The power you feel knowing you are creating the life you thought was out of reach, is a super one that will propel you to be strong and happy.

When you set New Year resolutions you’re vowing to do them pretty much overnight, the start time being 12.01am 1st January. Can you really engage your motivation as simply as flipping a switch?

Telling yourself you are or are not going to do something isn’t backed up with the motivation, plan or steps to make it happen.

So what should you do when we hit this turning point in our traditional calendar that we associate with new beginnings and fresh starts?

I thought about what I wanted my life to be like. What changes did I want to make? What goals did I want to set myself?

Then I kept asking myself ‘Why?’
