Why do New Year’s Resolutions Almost Never Work?

Understanding why New Year’s resolutions don’t work will help you to make this year’s resolution become a lifetime commitment.

By the time the euphoria of the holiday season has subsided, the exciting prospect of a fresh New Year rears its head. And so, we all begin thinking up new ways to make ourselves happier, healthier and more interesting.

 

Part of the problem is that the goals we set for ourselves are too drastic. The key is to take baby steps, and allow yourself to get used to the changes you are making. In time, you will learn to live with these small changes, and then you can allow yourself to make bigger ones.

 

The Best Kind of Resolution

Lucky for you, we’ve come up with the perfect New Year’s resolution. It’s good for your health, benefits your family, and is easy to keep up with. This year, why not make a resolution that will have a great positive impact on not only yourself, but others as well.  Resolve to have a toxin-free home!

Let’s Get You Started

Remember those baby steps we were talking about?  Here are a few you can get started on right away:

1.       Start Learning

What is a toxin? In a nutshell, it’s any substance that is harmful or poisonous to the body. A first important step is to be aware of all the sources of toxins in your home. For starters, here is a fantastic video  by the great Anne Leonard. It sheds light on the ugly truth behind the toxins in everyday cosmetic products. Once you know that certain substances and items are bad, you can begin to eliminate or substitute them.

 

Of course, to inform yourself further, you need look no further than the internet. It’s definitely a great source of information and not to mention readily available and timely.  

2.       Take Action!

Once you’ve familiarized yourself with the idea of toxins lurking in your products, it’s time to start finding safer alternatives. For example, did you know you should avoid non-stick & stain repellent coatings? These contain Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) that are rumored to last forever in our bodies and the environment and collect in our livers. Knowing information like this can allow us to make healthier choices, and subsequently live truly healthy lives.
