Have you found that once you start doing something, it is easier to keep doing it? Also, that one good habit or routine seems to make it easier to develop and maintain others? That is what I have found to be the case. Once I got serious about eating better and less, and the weather cooperated, I found it much easier to get outside and walk for exercise. Once I walked the first time, the second time was easier. I found that getting started was the hardest part, and that once I got started, it was harder to quit than to continue. And that being consistent with one good habit made it easier to be consistent with others. Enough about me. I am honest about my struggles, hoping that in so doing, it will inspire others to deal better with theirs. Sometimes, however, we let ourselves off the hook by focusing on the struggles of others. It can become too easy to look at others and fail to look at ourselves. What do you need to get started doing? It may not be weight control and exercise for you. It could be stopping something, such as smoking or spending too much money, or getting in control of some other area of your life. Whatever it is, whatever promise you made to yourself at the beginning of the new year, there is still plenty of time in 2017 for you (and me!) to be successful.
