New Year's Resolutions.... UGH!!!

Every New Year many Sapes make New Year Resolutions. This is an ancient ritual which dates back to 153 BC (and I doubt more than a handful of people have followed through since) started by Janus, the mythical king of Rome. Janus...January.... it's not a coincidence, my friends.

According to the article "Top 10 New Year's Resolutions" by K. and A. Powell, they are:

1) Spending more time with family and friends
2) Getting Fit
3) Losing Weight
4) Quiting Smoking
5) Enjoying Life More
6) Quitting The Booze
7) Getting Out Of Debt
8) Learning Something New
9) Helping Others
10) Getting Organized

Most of those are either changing unhealthy habits of feeling guilty about something you did or didn't do.

Is this really how us Sapes live? Do we LOOK to virtually kill ourselves with unhealthy habits and stress (not to mention doing stupid things that cause guilt)? WTF are we doing?

There has to be a better way.

I'd like to know why we wait until January 1st to think about changing all the stupid things we do all year and then when we do try to change these habits, we fail... ask Dr. Mark about the "adult brain".

If you are under 25 years old, do yourself a favor and make long term lifestyle change NOW and don't fall backward. If you are over 25 it's going to take a lot more work to make these changes and your success rate drops dramatically.

One thing you can do to increase the chance of making these lifelong changes is to rebuild your somatic self. Think about downloading our Somatic Companion 30 Day Emotional Makeover right this freaking minute and get started making these changes TODAY. A more coherent Sape is more likely to reach their goals. How old are you again? Ah yes... and you are STILL struggling with the same bad habits and unmet goals. Think outside the box and try from a new angle to get into a better place- body, mind AND spirit...

Listen people, I've gone through the program and I know what happens at the end of the 30 days. You'll see life in a completely different way and that's a very GOOD thing!


More Coherent (and in better shape) Every Day,
