For me, the guilt demons start circling in full force at the beginning of every new year.  You know the ones, “You should eat more carrots.”  “You should walk more.”  “You should recycle more.” “You should help more people.”  These little voices are not helpful because guilt only motivates me for a few minutes at best.  But over the years I have learned that what I really need is a plan, a strategy.

Take for example today.  It was a great day, but busy.  I wanted to post a blog for the beginning of 2010, but, you know, busy, busy, busy.  So I came up with a plan.  Pick up the computer,  lift the lid, turn it on, click on blog, start writing.  And it worked.  I am now wishing all of you a very Happy New Year!

Now if I could just get to the carrot eating, the walking, the recycling, the helping . . .
