Start of a New Year

Hi, it's the Brooker That Gratitude Guy. The start of a new year, 2014. Just a

couple days ago we started off with the new year and I happened to drive by a gym yesterday and it was just packed with people and somebody sarcastically

said to me later, hey check back in a month we'll see how it looks. I thought well that's the thing sometimes about New Year's resolutions, people don't

always follow through. They have the best intentions and I know that just because

it didn't work yesterday doesn't mean it can't work today or tomorrow. So a great

way to start but one of the things that I've noticed a great way to stay solid

to stay consistent on your New Year's resolutions or new efforts or inputs or

whatever you want to call it is a gratitude journal. It's a great way to track your progress. Every single day you're writing in this gratitude journal

six to seven minutes you can easily add I walked two or three miles, I drank two

liters of water, I had this kind of food, I started this new exercise program. You

can record your weight right alongside your daily number. It's a great way to

keep track of it. Another thing I've noticed too if you can get an accountability partner, somebody who's a workout partner, personal trainer

somebody that gets out there with you every single day, makes such a difference. It's such a great way to build momentum. I said on a recent video we could all go

walk a mile or most of us could but you couldn't walk 365 miles at the end of

the year and say hey we're good for the year. But if you just do a mile or two every single day you'll develop tremendous momentum. That's what a

gratitude journal does as well. So think about that if you've got one great if

not you can get one at thebrooker.com. Get a spiral notebook, whatever it is

but use that six or seven minutes to be grateful and then add in those pieces

that are part of that New Year's resolution and really make some ways to

turn over new leaves in your life and get really healthy mentally, physically

financially, emotionally, whatever it might be. Use the gratitude journal. It makes a huge huge difference. That's it for today. Have a grateful day. We'll see

you tomorrow
