January beginnings. Are you starting fresh? Are you starting anew? January resolutions. How are they going? Are you feeling strong about the changes you are bringing into your life? Whatever your resolution, there are specific steps you can take to ensure that you stay on the path you have set out for yourself and reach the goals you are working to achieve. Just as with any task you set out to accomplish, the first step in reaching a goal is awareness.

Do you ever feel stuck in a rut, whether it be physical or emotional and feel a lack of power in making a change? Have you ever thought about starting an activity or incorporating a new lifestyle mode but think that you cannot because it seems it would take too much at the time? “…I have to take care of…” Of course you do. But let’s step back and look at this from another perspective: Did you ever decide one day to the next that you were going to become a bodybuilder and then proceed to go into the gym the next day and lift 500 lbs?

As the stories go, many have sought, battled towards, and even claimed to have discovered the “fountain of youth.” Perhaps we can imagine the emotional state of these mythological and historical figures while embarking on their journeys. What did they feel as they were searching, when they failed, or when they uncovered this supposed fountain of youth? Their journey was outward, a search for a tangible site, but the search continued today has been conducted by modern scientists and they may have unlocked at least one source: the heart.

Many have heard the wonder stories of people who have miraculously cured themselves of cancer, even recovered from paralysis. What has your reaction been? Amazement? Wonder? Hope? Disbelief? –even anger? For an individual living in relative health the stories are often just stories.
