Health Contract and Calendar

Many people try to make New Year’s resolutions either because they feel that “this is the year!” For fitness/wellness/health purposes, you should not wait for the first of January to start to make your life healthier. You can start to live healthier at any time, date, year, month, etc.

I often hear that people will start to eat better or workout on a Monday so that they can pig out and be lazy for the weekend. When you think about doing something, do it now! Take action right away! Try not to wait for a new year to come around or for an event to come up for you to start thinking about becoming healthier. If you wait, it may be too late!

If, however, you MUST make a resolution for the new year and just cannot start your new goal today,let me suggest a health contract and calendar.

Below are examples of two different health contracts and calendars. You can click on the graphics below for clearer and larger view.

Write out a goal that you would like to complete for JUST the month of January. Start the journey to this goal slow and realistic. Mark off the days of the week that you complete the goal. When the month is over, you can set the same goal for February, change the goal, or vary the goal to make it harder.

If you need help setting up the health contract or calendar, please contact me through the blog or email me at sarahjanicek@aol.com. Let’s make 2008 GREAT!!!
