We know it’s been a rough couple of years, but it’s 2022! If you have made it to this year, you are blessed and have much to be thankful for, despite challenges. Not to say that you haven’t encountered problems, but changing your perspective, you can push through. The word, “resolutions” can make one cringe and possibly be intimidating, as you look at your list of previous resolutions unaddressed.
But again, it’s about a positive perspective. You can’t move forward, focusing on the past. So, what are your motivators?
Maybe it’s people. Maybe it’s quotes. Maybe it’s Scripture verses. What will encourage, drive, and move you to propel to the highest level? This is a special cover, as it’s giving you some of our favorite quotes and Scriptures that keep us in a positive place. We pray that these motivators we share with you will be implemented for achieving great success in the spiritual, mental, emotional, financial, and physical.

In addition to the above, here are some things to consider to help you reach those goals for this year:
• Are your goals realistic ? It’s important that your goals are realistic and achievable with your lifestyle. For example, if you have a husband/wife and children, is it realistic that you have a goal of walking daily or 3 times a week? You know what you can achieve with your current responsibilities. If your goals aren’t realistic, you are more likely to feel defeated and may quit altogether. So yes, aim high, but be realistic.
• Are you turning your goals into habits?
Everything in life is the result of a habit. If your resolution is to stop a bad habit, you need to replace it with a good habit to serve the same purpose. So let’s say, for example, you find yourself hungry at 3:00 PM every day. That daily donut won’t help you lose weight. But, swapping it out for a banana and a handful of almonds instead will satisfy both your hunger and sweet tooth. You should also intentionally avoid things that will trigger bad behavior. Instead of walking past the donut shop, take a different route. Small changes today will help yield larger results in the long run.
• Do you have support? No one can accomplish anything without help and support, so who is in your tribe? Support can come in many forms like paid coaches, trainers, and assistants. But free help is still help. So, ask your spouse to make breakfast for the kids while you go to spin class every Saturday morning. Or start an accountability group text with a few friends. Don’t be afraid to reach out and ask for what you need.
—Rick
• Are you tracking your progress? Habits and resolutions take time. Make it simple by tracking things such as your daily food, monthly measurements, and weekly weight. Write everything down in an old fashioned notebook or use an app or spreadsheet. Goal tracking will keep you motivated. By having a visual representation of your results from the previous month, you are more likely to stay motivated and keep going.
We hope this cover inspires you to push through. We know the times we are in are uncertain, but what is certain is that when you not only read or listen to Scripture and positive messages, but also implement them, you will see positive results. Remember, it’s during the challenges and tests when you see how strong you are. Success is knocking on the other side of the door.
