I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who reads my blogs and wish you a Happy New Year.

This wish includes health and happiness to you all for 2018 and I hope that you are able to have a good year.

As we turn over this new chapter in our lives remember that it is 52 weeks of a chapter so think about how you want to fill your weeks.

You know you cannot go back, return to a past chapter or rewrite it so it is about writing this new chapter now.

Do you want to remain in the same frame of mind as you were in in 2017 or would you like 2018 to be different. This is not a resolution this is writing a week as it happens, changing how you feel about you.

Resolutions are often broken because we want to achieve crazy goals, for instance lose 7 stone but your not mentally ready. So wouldn’t it be better to get mentally ready for the weight loss? Or achieve a turn over of triple the amount by July without actually doing any planning or extra work. Well that’s setting yourself up for a fail straight away. Plan first and see what is achievable.

Use your weeks wisely and plan what you want to do. Remember to have fun too, our bodies are not machines we need down time to enjoy, rest and rejouvantion. So think about how you can add that to 2018? I enjoy spa days and lunch dates with friends, plus walking and sunshine holidays with my family. This allows me positive relaxation and gives my body down time.

You don’t have to be doing lots in your 52 weeks as long as your mental and physical wellbeing is OK. If you are feeling stressed, depressed, anxious or symptoms that you are not comfortable with you need to do a body check. This is the time to look at what is going on and decide how to make some changes in your life.

We all need to take control and make changes to help ourselves, life is a rollercoaster.

So with the ups and downs of 2018 I wish you all the best hold tight enjoy the ride and try to have some fun along the way. Happy New Year.
