\"\"<\/a>Each year many of us decide to make changes in our lives. \u00a0We are sincere, we are motivated and we are ready to get going. \u00a0We start with great determination\u00a0for the first few weeks and then things seem to fizzle out. \u00a0Good intentions can carry us for the short term, but deliberate habits can carry us for the long term.<\/p>\n

Lasting change begins with intentional living. \u00a0Living intentionally can help us define who we are, \u00a0who we want to be and where we are going. \u00a0Living intentionally can move us from where we are to where we want to be with firmly planted new habits to make sure we succeed. \u00a0Each intentional decision we make is like a ripple in the water made from a skipping stone. \u00a0It starts out small but can grow to enormous proportions if we go about it the right way. Just like a road map, we can map out our destinations. \u00a0The first step is to decide what is important to move toward or change in your life. \u00a0Once you define what needs changing, write it down. \u00a0Keep a notebook with your goals and the reasons for making that change. \u00a0It must be a goal or change that YOU want. \u00a0You will never sustain lasting change if it is someone else’s goal we are working on.<\/p>\n

One key component to change is\u00a0to find one small thing you can do RIGHT NOW to make it happen. \u00a0Could you rent a workout video or plan your menu for the next day? \u00a0Make an appointment for a check up that you have been avoiding? \u00a0Perhaps pick up a catalog for the local college and check out the upcoming classes? \u00a0Whatever it is just begin..start…map it out…write it down..take one step…make one small effort. \u00a0You will be amazed that the hardest step is ALWAYS the first step.<\/p>\n

Need more help? \u00a0Check back for weekly posts. \u00a0Next week’s focus will be on\u00a0“Intentional living vs. Impulsive living.”<\/p>\n
