Today I'm off to meet with the local school's 'wellness' committee

I've been invited to a meeting with the local school's 'wellness' committee. As many know, the federal gov't has mandated that every school district that receives federal funding must put into place a 'wellness policy'.

My local school district's committee head, a nice woman who is a nutritionist and runs the commissary, invited me to speak to everyone on what 'wellness' is. It will be interesting to see the dynamics of this meeting. You have school employees, especially those who have to run 'businesses' within the school district and make a profit. Then you have parent representatives who have their own agenda.

But really, the agendas should all focus on the proper education of our children and introduce them, as early as possible, to healthy, wellness focused living. That is my intention and I will report back to let you all know how it went.

Goal-ing

Now that the new year has already put one month behind us, I am finding myself looking at my goals for the year and re-evaluating, if necessary. A common pitfall many fall into when setting goals, (which I do and must watch for) is setting the goals in an arbitrary manner.

If I want to see 250 visits per week and i'm below 50, to properly hit those goals I would incrementally add 10% from my starting point so that I achieve the end result (250) without 'shocking' the mind and thereby making the goal look 'unreachable'. The brain sees 10% increases as not being different from the current status. So 55 is no problem, then 60, then 66, and so on. The mind fulfills the request for 10% increases quite effortlessly.

I believe quite highly in the 'Power of Attraction'. If you haven't seen the movie 'The Secret' you MUST get a hold of it and watch it! Use this powerful phenomenon and properly goal-set so that you reach your dreams!
