Oh Forget It!! I'll Just Try Again Next Year...

Good Afternoon Everyone!

      So how's everyone doing with their New Year's Resolution(s)?  For those of you who are doing great, I want to let you know that I'm truly proud of you!  For those that have gotten off track (completely or partially), I just want to spend a little time to help you get back on track.
      We tend to get off track with respect to our goals because of a lack of focus.  Our lives become filled with distractions each day which interrupt our focus and take the place of what we're supposed to be doing.  When this happens to you, the worst thing that you can do is just give up and say "Oh Forget It!"  If you do this, you forfeit any progress and effort that you have made thus far.  Instead, you should try to look at your life and identify the distractions that have made you lose your focus.  Once identified (which is the hardest part), just try to spend a few days removing them (this will truly make you feel so much better and re-energize you to get back to your goals).
      In a sense, all this means is that you need to clean out your head space and get back to business.  An uncluttered brain just makes you feel and work better.  You can compare this to how you feel when your house is a mess, and then how you feel after you spend the weekend cleaning the whole thing top to bottom.  So spend a few days doing this for your brain.... and please DO NOT WAIT until the next new year to get re-focused...DO IT NOW!!

Here is a hint on how to get started:  LISTEN TO YOUR GUT!  Your gut knows what you should and shouldn't be doing (we just choose to ignore it or block it out with distractions).   So spend the extra time doing what your GUT tells you... You'll get FOCUSED again and begin to feel better because of it!  

Yours in Health,

Dr. Jeff
