Top 10 Goals for Better Health in 2009.

[1] Establish a journaling habit that works best for you. Either handwritten or electronically. This is key! I've had so many clients tell me how important this has been for them and the difference it's made. It's little-used by most but highly effective!

[2] Be nicer to yourself. Give yourself a break.

[3] Recognize that healthy movement comes in many forms, not just on a treadmill, bike, or stair machine. How creative can you get?

[4] Experiment with how creating a more organized, healthier home environment impacts your overall mental and physical well-being.

[5] Find time for calm. (through stillness, meditation, or yoga)

[6] Re-discover a hobby you've let go of. Find a new one.

[7] Look into 'free' or low-cost community education courses that might be of interest or benefit to you from a healthier-living standpoint.

[8] Engage in online social networking for re-connecting with friends and family you've been out of touch with for awhile. You'll be surprised at how easy it is to get started and how much fun it can be.

[9] Put aside a little money for your children or nieces and nephews. They don't need more 'stuff'. However, a little money now will go a long way later (yes, even in today's economy).

[10] Hit the road. That's right, make a point of getting 'out of Dodge' sometime this year. You don't have to go on an expensive vacation, just get out of town. Roadtrip therapy can be some of the best kind.
