Somehow by March many of my New Year’s Resolutions begin to fall by the wayside … I ran across this list of ways to stay motivated this morning on the Simple Truths website (
www.SimpleTruths.com) and it really struck a chord. I’m reprinting some of the affirmations that really spoke to me. I think I will print a couple of copies and place in conspicuous places for when I need a dose of motivation. If you are wavering on one of your resolutions, maybe this will help get you back on track.
