Out of those 90 people, 60 people die from prescription drug overdoses?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">With the growing number of people in this country, and other countries around the world, who are addicted to opioids, I want to provide a holistic solution to manage your pain.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">Still wondering what an opioid is? An opioid is a class of legal and illegal pain killing drugs. Legal opioids include Hydrocodone and Vicodin. Illegal opioids include drugs such as Heroine. Opioids have an extremely high rate of dependency. That means that by 3 three of taking the opioid, you body has already adapted to the drug and now needs a higher dose, or a second opioid in order to get the same effect. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">Instead of upping your dose, or taking more pills to manage your pain, we can offer you a safer solution. At our office, we use our hands to help people manage their pain. After checking someone's spine, we can see if they have a bone out of alignment to see if that is what is causing their pain. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">Chiropractic has helped so many people end their addiction to opioids and help manage their pain naturally and holistically. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">If you are looking for an alternative to using opioids to manage your pain, please come and give our office a try and take full advantage of the benefits of chiropractic care. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><u>Sources:</u><br /><br /><u>Opioid Overdose.

In order to be happier with our bodies, we must start at the basics of health. Here at Davis Family Chiropractic and Massage, we can help you get on the right track of creating a healthier life for yourself in 2018. Here are 7 New Year’s Resolutions that you can make that we can help you keep.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">1. Incorporate Exercise into Your Lifestyle</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">If you can incorporate as little as 30 minutes a day of any exercise to increase your heart rate, you will experience many positive benefits. These benefits include lowering the risk of diabetes and heart disease, more nights of a good night’s sleep, and you will even experience the reduction in neuro-musculoskeletal issues such as back pain and migraines.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">2.

Sitting for 8-9 hours a day can cause a person’s posture to go downhill quickly. Bad posture can lead to back pain, neck pain, and even headaches. If you are someone who sits in front of a computer for the majority of your day, we suggest that you look into ways to help prevent poor posture. Here are some ways that you can improve your posture at work:</span><br />

Cruciferous vegetables can reduce your risk of getting osteoarthritis later on in life. Vegetables such as lentils and spinach are high in magnesium and have been proven to benefit people with chronic back pain. Fruits are nutrient dense and they provide our bodies with vitamin and minerals to help us from getting sick.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">We know that it can be difficult to incorporate the suggested amount of fruits and vegetables into your daily life, so we provide our patients with the product Juice Plus+ to help you obtain those recommended daily amounts.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">4.

This pressure can lead to sciatica, disk herniation, and osteoarthritis. It is important to keep your Body Mass Index (BMI) in the normal range so that you can reduce your risk of getting high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and organ failure.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Muli; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">5.

If you are included in that 40%, you should turn off your devices, turn off the lights, and go to bed at least an hour earlier than you normally do. Some benefits of more sleep include:</span><br />

Since 2010, Davis Family Chiropractic has partnered with elementary schools in the Vancouver area to provide school children with the supplies they need for back to school. Thanks to our wonderful patients and friends, we've had a tremendous outpouring of support for this great cause. This year, we're hoping to offer the same and more, to students in the area who are in need. <br />
<br />
In exchange for your support, and to say thank you, Davis Family Chiropractic is offering <b>a free first visit</b> (to include an in-depth check up, computerized scans and onsite x-rays, if necessary) through August 31st. We are also accepting a bag of socks or underwear as well, in exchange for your first visit. <br />
<br />
You can help promote this cause by bringing in school supplies or by passing along this blog post url or by 'liking' the post on Facebook for others to see and use.<br />

Being a chiropractor, it's no surprise that many of my patients come into the office with complaints of headaches and pain in general. After routine check-ups, x-rays and appropriate chiropractic adjustments, I like to ask my patients about sleep, stress and regularly feeling tense, as well. If they respond that any of these symptoms has taken a hold on their life, I refer to them one of my most favorite products, <a href="http://www.calmnatural.com/">Natural Calm.</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.calmnatural.com/">Natural Calm</a>, is a magnesium nitrate supplement that helps combat a long list of symptoms: anxiety, muscle tension or pain, feeling unable to relax, high blood pressure or insomnia could be a sign of magnesium deficiency. To read more about magnesium deficiencies and the twenty-two conditions that can be triggered by a magnesium deficiency, check out the article, "The Miracle of <a href="http://www.calmnatural.com/miraclemagnesium">Magnesium</a>."<br />
<br />
Natural Calm is available for purchase in our office, and has a list price cheaper than at the local health food store. The flavors of Natural Calm we carry are raspberry lemon, lemon, orange, cherry and no flavor.<br />
<br />
Prices: <br />
8 oz. $21.95 + tax (often lasts 2-3 months)<br />
16 oz. $38.95 + tax (often lasts 4-6 months)<br />
<br />
Best in health, naturally,<br />
Dr. Marc<br />

<br />
As a doctor, nothing has brought more concern and frustration than the current state of our health system. The system is unhinged, broken and quite frankly--ineffective.<br />
<br />
Recently, Andrew Weil, MD, author of "You Can't Afford to Get Sick: Your Guide to Optimum Health and Health Care," wrote an <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/08/opinion/weil-health-care/index.html">article</a> for CNN calling the U.S. health system, one that "manages disease, not health." This article rings a similar tone to the post that I recently shared concerning the failed flu <a href="http://davisfamilychiro.com/blog/b_24374_cdc_calls_flu_vaccine_a_failure.html">vaccine</a>, and the industry being corrupted by the prospect of money before health. <br />
<br />
The excellent point that Weil makes in his article, is that educating citizens on how to take a proactive approach to their health is significantly lacking. Instead of encouraging citizens to embrace a clean diet, an active lifestyle and natural/therapeutic tools to manage stress and ailments, the system implements expensive drugs and surgeries once the conditions manifest themselves. <br />
<br />
According to the <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/08/opinion/weil-health-care/index.html">article</a>, <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The U.S. "currently ranks lowest on a variety of health measures," concludes a <a href="http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=13497&page=91" target="_blank">new report</a> from an expert panel commissioned by the National Institutes of Health.
Specifically, Americans have more obesity, more sexually transmitted
diseases, shorter life expectancies and higher infant mortality than the
inhabitants of nearly all of the 16 developed "peer" countries studied."</blockquote>
Yet, the U.S. spends more on health care than any other country, and there are still 30 million people unable to access it. The numbers do not add up. There is nothing <i>healthy </i>about this system of health care.<br />
<br />
This Saturday, March 16th, CNN will re-air the compelling documentary, "<a href="http://escapefiremovie.com/your-escape-fire">Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare</a>." Please consider watching this film. We must understand what is happening within our health care system before we can become advocates for change. And change, is what we desperately need.<br />

Obamacare as it currently seems to stand is NOT the solution. We need an effective health care program to promote healthy living, teach proactive measures to sustain health, and a program that will encourage natural remedies first, and not costly and often dangerous measures to mask ailments. <br />
<b>Your turn: </b>What improvements would you suggest are needed in order to help Americans truly become more healthy and decrease cost? I REALLY want to hear from you!<br />
<br />
Best in health, naturally,<br />

Are you ready to spring forward?! It seems it was yesterday, that I was Christmas shopping and finding new places for Flash, our Elf on the Shelf, to wreak havoc each morning of December. Now, my husband and I are discussing vegetable starts, Spring Break and plans for summer projects. There is light at the end of the dreary tunnel, friends. Soon, the sun will be here to stay.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Rough week ahead</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Daylight saving time happens this Sunday, March, 10th at 2am. According to The Better Sleep <a href="http://bettersleep.org/better-sleep/the-science-of-sleep/sleep-statistics-research/daylight-saving-stats-and-tips-to-ease-spring-ahead-suffering/">Council</a>, 61% of U.S. adults say that they feel the effects of daylight saving the following Monday after setting their clocks. Eleven percent of these adults say that it takes more than a week to adjust to the time change, while another 29% say it takes a full week. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Did you know that 74% of adults who are not getting adequate sleep say it effects their productivity at work? Thirty-nine percent of U.S. adults say that daylight saving time effects their mood. Car accidents, falling asleep on the job or in meetings, and admitting to be less than pleasant to be around, are just a small handful of sufferings that have been <a href="http://bettersleep.org/better-sleep/the-science-of-sleep/sleep-statistics-research/daylight-saving-stats-and-tips-to-ease-spring-ahead-suffering/">reported</a> in relation to daylight saving time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Things could get weird </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
According to surveyed adults, daylight saving time and lack of sleep has been the root to odd behavior, including:</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Drove to the wrong location</li>
<li>Wore slippers outside</li>
<li>Told off-color jokes</li>
<li>Put paycheck in the garbage</li>
<li>Went to work on day off </li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b>The good news is that this <i>week of weird</i> is worth it. Daylight saving is
all about saving energy consumption. "It’s a relatively simple idea: If
we set our clocks an hour ahead, we
can make the most of the longer periods of daylight during summer,
gaining an extra hour of sunlight in the evening when we can spend time
outside of the house and avoid using home lighting and appliances. If we
don’t move the clocks forward, we waste that additional hour of
sunlight in the morning, which may occur before many of us have even
gotten out of bed" (<a href="http://earth911.com/news/2012/03/09/does-daylight-saving-time-really-save-energy-2/">Earth911</a>).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Be ahead of the change</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Begin making the adjustment to the time change, now. Start going to bed fifteen minutes earlier and waking fifteen minutes earlier. This will help with the "lost" hour and make adapting to the time change easier. For you, worried daylight-savers, The Better Sleep Council has a <a href="http://bettersleep.org/better-sleep/the-science-of-sleep/sleep-statistics-research/daylight-saving-stats-and-tips-to-ease-spring-ahead-suffering/">list of tips</a> to help you continue to function at your best.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Disease Control, the vaccine proved effective just over half of the

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I,
for one, do not get the flu shot and likely never will. Since receiving the flu shot is a personal choice, I urge everyone to become well informed about the flu shot<span style="font-size: large;">.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As a chiropractor, I have nurses who are patients who are required to get the
flu shot. One nurse reported that they often all get vaccinated the same
day—and that soon thereafter they are short staffed
because so many of the nurses who had received the shot, have to call in sick.
That goes counter to what I believe is health! </span></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I
also see it as a money maker for vaccination companies. Why else would
local grocery stores be displaying large banners stating they offer the
flu shot?! I prefer chiropractic which strengthens the body’s immune
response—without injections. </span></span></div>

That's not much in exchange for a longer, healthier life!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Planning to keep things low key? Take care of YOU this Valentine's. Life is busy, and often we forget about the little things that make a huge difference when it comes to personal health.

Since taking up Crossfit and recently beginning the transition to a <a href="http://thepaleodiet.com/">Paleo</a> diet, I've had to take a close look at the food in my fridge and cupboards. Many items had to go, while alternatives to certain foods had to be purchased. However, and interestingly enough, shopping has become easier and more straight to the point. </div>

Many researchers believe the knee is the most complex joint in the human body. It is also the most imperfect and easily injured. The good news is that chiropractic adjustments can help solve these injuries.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnUi1JKIW8LN0h_775Bqhxg_iWMdcjA0zN4yCsalFaGJUm-A0D53enEy1SPB0JaYwu1NJpkZLKWmfoS-N3DNQUsZuFH1RMYl6rcfcz3XgZvfULXhs2l10diS5dW6M-_DKN-ikvyEKlFlV4/s1600/knee+pain.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="262" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnUi1JKIW8LN0h_775Bqhxg_iWMdcjA0zN4yCsalFaGJUm-A0D53enEy1SPB0JaYwu1NJpkZLKWmfoS-N3DNQUsZuFH1RMYl6rcfcz3XgZvfULXhs2l10diS5dW6M-_DKN-ikvyEKlFlV4/s400/knee+pain.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>The 3 Most Common Knee Injuries </b><br />
<br />
ACL, MCL and Meniscus <br />
<br />
According to researchers, the three most common knee injuries occur at the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and meniscus. "The ACL is located inside the knee joint and stabalizes the joint by preventing the shin-bone (tibia) from sliding forward beneath the thighbone (femur). A hard twist or excessive pressure on the ACL can tear it, so that the knee gives out and can no longer support the body."<br />
<br />
The MCL, located inside the knee, is another crucial knee stabilizer. MCL injuries often occur along side injuries to the ACL.<br />
<br />
The meniscus, "is a wedge-like rubbery cushion where the major bones of your leg connect," and "helps the knee joint to carry weight, glide and turn in many directions. It also keeps your femur (thighbone) and tibia (shinbone) from grinding against each other" (Sports Med 2006; 36:635-41).<br />
<br />
ACL, MCL and meniscus injuries are common among athletes as they engage in a lot of twisting, pivoting and cutting motions that stress the knee joints. Older people may suffer from similar injuries due to degenerative wear and tear over the years.<br />
<br />
<b>Other Knee Injury Sources</b><br />
<br />
Misaligned bones (vertebrae) is another source that can effect the knee joints. When Sacroiliac (SI) and lumbar (low-back) subluxations occur, they may affect the hip and, in turn, leg alignment and leg length. Leg length differences can cause disproportionate strain on the entire lower body, including the knees. <br />
<br />
Clinical evaluations have shown that anterior knee pain (AKP)--at the front of the knee, is typically associated with SI joint dysfunction. This dysfunction can lead to muscle inhibition and ultimately knee pain. Chiropractic adjustments correct SI dysfunction through low back and pelvis adjustments.<br />
<br />
Osteoarthritis (OA) is another common source of knee pain. Osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage in knee joints erodes, causing restrictive movement and the bones to rub against each other.<br />
<br />
Knock knees and bow legs in children are also a precursor for knee issues in an individual. However, most children outgrow these conditions. Understanding the importance of good posture and a healthy diet and weight will help with such issues.<br />
<br />
Osgood-Schlatter Disease "is a generally benign, self-limited knee condition most commonly found in rapidly growing athletically active adolescents." (Am Fam Physician 1990;41:173-6.) Symptoms of Osgood-Schlatter Disease may be tenderness, pain and swelling in the knee. Such symptoms can be brought on by sporting events that involve jumping, such as volleyball, basketball or running, or by the knee having direct contact with the ground. Most times, patients find that non-operative treatments such as rest, icing, activity modifications and physical therapy can help correct this painful knee condition.<br />
<br />
<b>Other Natural Solutions to Prevent Knee Injuries</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Chiropractic adjustments are an excellent way to avoid vertebral subluxation, associated pains such as knee pain and many other ailments</li>
<li>Add antioxidants to your diet to destroy disease-causing free radical chemicals</li>
<li>Use supplements such as Glucosamine and chondroitin for pain relief and prevention</li>
<li>Exercise your body to maintain healthy bones and knees </li>
</ul>

<br />
Do the winter months get you down? If so, there may be a good reason for your change in mood. Many individuals are faced with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) during the fall and winter months, while the days are shorter and turn dark earlier.<br />
<br />
Dr. Davis wants patients to know that SAD is a common condition that can often be managed by a combination of natural therapies and lifestyle modifications. Read Dr. Davis' suggestions on how to maintain emotional well-being all winter long.<br />
<br />
<b>Symptoms of SAD</b><br />
<br />
Like other forms of depression, SAD leads to trouble sleeping, anxiety, social withdrawal, feelings of helplessness, lack of energy, appetite changes, and difficulty concentrating.<br />
<br />
<b>Finding Balance in Mind, Body and Spirit</b><br />
<br />
One of the guiding principals of chiropractic is that the mind, body and spirit are connected and influence each other. Although Dr. Davis doesn't treat psychological problems, patients who receive chiropractor care often report that chiropractic care helps alleviate not only physical ailments but mental and emotional problems as well.<br />
<br />
<b>5 Natural Solutions for SAD</b><br />
<br />
Light Therapy: Because SAD is triggered by shorter hours of daylight during the fall and winter, many individuals find relief from light therapy. <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/light-therapy/MY00195">Light therapy</a> is easy to use, lacks side affects and has proven to be efficient for many people who deal with SAD.<br />
<br />
Regular Exercise: Regular exercise is an excellent way to ward off stress and anxiety, as well as to maintain optimal physical health. In fact, research indicates that seasonal depression responds to exercise as well as it does light therapy.<br />
<br />
Increase Vitamin D: Research has shown that vitamin D, a nutrient necessary for absorption of calcium and phosphorous, may counteract SAD. The body synthesizes vitamin D through sunlight exposure, though during the winter months, the lack of sunlight can cause a vitamin D deficiency. The best natural sources for vitamin D is through foods such as: fatty fish such as herring, salmon, catfish, sardines, tuna and eel. Cod liver oil is a great, potent source, while smaller amounts of vitamin D are found in eggs and liver. Supplements are available in your health food store as well.<br />
<br />
Melatonin: Melatonin is a hormone produces in the brain in response to the light and darkness cycles of the day and night. It also helps regulate sleep cycles, which are often negatively affected for those dealing with SAD. Melatonin supplements may be an effective treatment for SAD, especially when used with light therapy. Check with your doctor to see if this is a good option for you.<br />
<br />
Spice Things Up With Turmeric: Turmeric, a spice used in many curry dishes, has been widely used in both traditional Chinese and Indian Ayurvedic medicine to treat a vast array of conditions. Turmeric is derived from curcumin which is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Research has shown that curcumin may be used as a natural anti-depressant when used in conjunction with piperine, a component of black pepper. Turmeric and curcumin are also available in supplement form.<br />
<br />
Listen to your mind and body this winter to see if any of these solutions may be beneficial to you. The winter months don't have to be long and dark.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifV6jqNtOsPl3ayVO7JuDztDZWSrwrbVB-1mc0yc2H3fBel2BJD4QvtNrXxmvPij_fx_ExeAuDnfRu2FZpK2zoRs2CAXluBGpoM5S9WsHS7zY8NnBajMfYIrCsPySq4POb5HJ-yxyKro14/s1600/never+let+anyone+take+away+your+determination.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifV6jqNtOsPl3ayVO7JuDztDZWSrwrbVB-1mc0yc2H3fBel2BJD4QvtNrXxmvPij_fx_ExeAuDnfRu2FZpK2zoRs2CAXluBGpoM5S9WsHS7zY8NnBajMfYIrCsPySq4POb5HJ-yxyKro14/s1600/never+let+anyone+take+away+your+determination.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
There are various approaches that people take when it comes to resolutions and New Year. Some make a resolution, while some don't. Some make three. Some resolutions are about quitting bad habits, others are to implement better ones. Some people choose a single word like "Simplify," or "fearlessness" to focus on for the next twelve months. Some people create a list of all the things that they hope to accomplish throughout the year.<br />
<br />
Regardless of how you approach the New Year, there is one trait that is the driving force for success.<br />
<br />
Determination.<br />
<br />
Simple, right?<br />
<br />
Not always. Here's three steps to stay determined and focused to accomplish what is that you have in mind for 2013.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Be passionate. </b> Let's be honest. You have to be convicted and passionate about the things you are resolving to do. If you know you shouldn't be five or ten minutes late to everything you attend, but don't really care about your perpetually lateness, scratch it off the list. There must be a driving force behind your resolution. If you recognize that your perpetual lateness is tacky, and you're tired of it, that may be enough. But a reason such as, "I don't want to be late because it is inconsiderate to those who are waiting for me," gives more meaning for the change, making it easier to change the bad habit.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Be specific. </b> Write down your resolutions or your list to accomplish, and be specific. Vagueness--"I want to be more generous," isn't specific enough. Instead, think of ten ways you can be generous and do them (i.e. help a friend clean their house, take your girlfriend dinner for a week after she has her baby, pay a bill that you know a family member or a friend is struggling to make). Being specific will help you accomplish your goals, and crossing off the specifics will be a motivator in itself.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Prioritize. </b> What must be accomplished to see your goal through? Are you wanting to save money on groceries and be a consistent meal planner this year? Research the strategies that will make it easier for you to reach your goal, then list them. Print off helpful worksheets, schedule an afternoon to meal plan, make time to look for deals and coupons, and schedule a grocery shopping day. Prioritizing will help you meet your goal, and minimize stress in the meantime.<br />
<br />
So, have you began to take the steps to accomplish your resolutions or goals this year? You've got this! Keep determined and 2013 will be a great and empowering year!<br />
