What's Your New Year's Resolution?

By Christian Goodman

If you are just like me you should have enjoyed a day of fun this holiday with your family and friends.

Moreover, you would also been tempted to feast yourself during the holidays. We do not cook a feast often do we? The worst case scenario is even though we are not cooking we are made to eat whatever the relatives have cooked.

It's also a fact that food isn't the only problem we face in maintaining health. It's such a busy and stressful time of year when trying to budget for presents, getting our kids to their extracurricular events and finishing up priorities at work.

Often times, these things take a toll on our health. Are you finding time to exercise each day? Are you remembering to visit your doctor and if he/she has prescribed medicine, have you remembered to take it?

This what I hear most of the time from people recently "I don't want to be sick." It may be that people do not have the time to rest or they do not want to lose money by resting. But one should remember that the end result is bad health.

This is the reason why I recommend new year resolutions. I do recommend each and every people to form a new year resolution.

What I also encourage is a plan. Whether it's quitting smoking, losing weight or exercising daily, the number one reason people fail at their resolution is that they DON'T MAKE A PLAN.

You don't decide to take a cross-country trip and then just get in your car and go do you? For the logical person, the answer is "no." We take our car in to the repair shop and get a health check, repairing any mechanical issues before we start our trip.

In addition, we intimate our office about taking leave so that our absence don't create problem for others. We also pack relatively to the weather and also we make our plans during nice weather conditions.

This is exactly what we need to do when we are attempting to improve our health. Yes, agreeing that a change is needed is a hugely important step but it's not the only one. Practicality, while not as much fun, is just as important.

If you miss a day of exercise or over eat a day it is no problem you do not need to put down your plan. You can just go back to your plan and continue, it will benefit you in the long term. We should also try to realize that change is continuous.

Most new year resolutions of many people will be to lose weight , to stop snoring and reducing blood pressure. These are very important that we do not ignore this as these are called "Silent Killers" Many people to do not realize this danger till they get permanently affected.

Many others though, are currently living in pain. Whether its neck pain, headache and migraine, fibromyalgia, TMJ, acid reflux or vertigo, people with these conditions can't help but be reminded (every day in some cases) that they have a health issue.

Many of you with these conditions have been told by professionals that it's in your head (fibromyalgia usually gets this response) or that there is nothing to be done for the condition.

If there is something to be done it usually involves prescription medicines, which can have dangerous and potentially life-threatening side effects. Often times, these medicines don't treat the condition or the cure is worse than the treatment due to the harsh side effects of the medicine.

My programs do not have any medicines to take. This is what makes me to be proud of my programs. Moreover, they do not bring in any side effects and has proven results. My programs are simple breathing exercises which are easy to do.
