Why do people make New Year's resolutions.

Stop drinking, start exercising, eat healthy foods, better work/life balance. These all sound good on the surface, but typically a resolution is based on what you think you should be doing, rather than what you really want to be doing.

According to the Journal of Clinical Psychology, only 75% of the resolutions are maintained the first week of the year. After 2 weeks, they drop to 71%. After one month, they drop to 64% and after 6 months, they drop to 46%. By the end of the year, only 10% of the resolutions are maintained. People fail in keeping their resolutions because they're not actual goals. Most resolutions aren't specific.

Too often, resolutions are decided upon by looking at other peoples expectations or by reading a magazine that tells you how to stop smoking, how to start exercising, how to eat healthy foods or how to get fit by summer. Nonsense - forget about what you or other people think you ought to be doing and look at what you really want.

Living a full life isn't about making some decisions that don't really mean anything. That's not what truly successful people do. Instead, make confident choices based on Best Practice, and be the best you can be one day at a time.

Winston Churchill summed it up well when he said, "Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."

Daily Best Practices are an important component of a personal growth program. Best Practices are a form of attitude training that can help one overcome a bad attitude and move toward predictable results.

Do you know how to move? LEARNING TO CRAWL BEFORE YOU CAN WALK

By Fred Samorodin,
Registered Physical Therapist and Bodyworker (Vancouver, B.C., Canada)

Perhaps the question should be not “knowing” how to move, but being able to “feel” how to move! There are essentially three ways we all learn –learn how to think and learn how to move: 1) by seeing (visual) instructions; 2) by hearing (auditory) instructions; 3) through feeling and experiencing touch or movement (tactile and kinesthetic).

In our early childhood, as the saying goes, “you have to learn how to crawl before you can learn how to walk”. By the time most children in reach 4 years of age, they have learned how to walk. Their culture considers their kinesthetic learning having reached a peak and, then, for the next 10-15 years, there is a concerted effort made to develop their “brains” visually and auditory by having them sit for hours at a time doing the “real” learning.

Most recently, some readers have discovered the challenges and pleasures of a new, for them, kinesthetic learning experience—the Master Moves Core Training Program! As a Canadian Trained Physical Therapist, I have channeled my career into helping people with physical challenges through bodywork and movement therapy. Clients inevitably have a kinesthetic learning experience everytime I work, hands-on, with them! However, they come in for an hour session not as a means to an end, but, with my guidance, as an end to a beginning! What?!

By the time most of us have become adults (in this culture at least) we have lost most of our ability to learn kinesthetically. As Tom W. Myers, well-known bodyworker and author (April 1998, Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies) describes, we suffer from Kinesthetic dystonia! If bodywork such as Full Body Fascial Facilitation, craniosacral therapy, massage therapy, Advanced Bowen therapy or rolfing offer people a reintroduction to learning to move comfortably, then , for learning to advance, the Mastermoves Core Training Program offers an excellent way to take learning to move to the next level!

I find the good side to every situation.

In all of my adversities lies the seed of equivalent advantages. In every defeat there is a lesson showing me how to win the next time. What are stumbling blocks and defeat before me can be stepping stones to victory if I remain determined. I view my problems as opportunities. Nothing worthwhile ever comes easily. Work, continuous work and hard work, is the only way to accomplish results that last.
