There are four areas of life that need to be taken care of to ensure your family’s fitness in the coming New Year (and many more that follow). They are physical, emotional, financial and spiritual fitness.
Here are some ways you can resolve to bring more fitness and prosperity to your family in 2011.
The usual tips that people offer you are that you need to eat healthier, get more exercise, give up smoking, etc. But unless a person has a compelling reason to do these things – unless you know your “Why” - its unlikely that you’ll ever get down to doing them.
One of the ways that works best for me to get to my “why” is to learn more about the benefits of exercise and diet. When you know how much they can improve your life, you not only give yourself a compelling “why”, but you’ll wonder why you didn’t start earlier.
Other ways to motivate yourself are to look at your kids and imagine what you would need to do for yourself so you can be around for them for a long time to come. Unless you take care of your own physical well-being, you can neither be a good role-model to them nor an inspiration to yourself.
Give your family the skills to survive life's ups and downsEmotional fitness involves getting rid of subconscious beliefs and blocks that are limiting you and your family from being the best you can be. It requires an effort to uncover and reprogram old mental and emotional programming that no longer serves you and is holding you back from your best life.
Stress management, meditation, therapy and other methods are the popular ways to get emotionally fit. However, today there are also many new techniques such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) that are so easy to do that even kids can benefit from them.
Take the time to learn EFT and practice it regularly with your kids. If you’re inclined towards yoga, meditation, qigong and other Eastern energy practices, incorporate them into your family’s routine. For kids there are a number of stress-relief techniques, such as guided meditation, that can make it easier to deal with emotional stress and growing pains.
In these days of economic turmoil, getting a financial education should be one of the primary tasks you should set for you and your family. Stop listening to what the media and the Government are feeding you about the financial situation and learn to manage your own family finances.
As a family you need to learn how and where to invest your money for the best returns in the next 10 to 20 years. Learn entrepreneurial skills and teach them to your kids. Read Robert Kiyosaki’s new books, such as Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing
The days of depending on the Government to take care of you and your family are gone. In the New Year and those to follow, families will have to ensure their own security. Make the effort to overcome any outdated beliefs to wealth that you may have and teach your kids to prosper in the new world.
Whether you’re an atheist, agnostic or a religious person, believing that there are higher powers at work than just our own, is a prerequisite to spiritual fitness. For those who prefer a non-denominational approach to spirituality, the Law of Attraction, as taught by Abraham-Hicks, is a good place to start.
Whatever your beliefs, learning to channel the good within for the benefit of your family and the world at large, will make you happier, no matter which way you look at it.
We hope these tips will help you bring balance into these four areas of your life so that, this New Year and all the rest will be exceptionally wonderful for you and your family.
