A Body In Motion

So, the holidays are over, your favorite football team is out of the playoffs for this year and the weather outside is a frightful -45 degrees with the wind chill.   An excellent time to get to some of those things you resolved to do �after the holidays�, but what to do first.

Before you veg out in front of the TV here�s a suggestion. Why not finish that book your friend gave you about a fighter pilot during the Korean War that you started reading before July 4^th and still haven�t finished?  And speaking of literary pursuits, when was the last time you looked at the novel you�re working on or actually wrote that thank you note to Aunt Bea for the nice Christmas gift.

Then there�s that recipe for Hungarian goulash you just came across that you know you have all the ingredients for on hand. Bet that sounds good for dinner tonight along with a glass of that Red Burgundy that�s left over from the holiday punch.

Why not find that pattern for the dress you want to sew. You know the one that�s been collecting dust on your sewing machine table since Halloween. Or remember that project you told your spouse you�d finish in the work shop?  Guess what, it�s still there.

Believe me I can identify with these examples. Sometimes we find ourselves with leisure time we just haven�t planned for and the more we think about the things we could do the more they seem overwhelming to the point where we don�t know where to start and indecision sets in followed by inertia and nothing gets done. Here�s a possible solution.

Write down every item on your �to do� list then study it and assign each one a priority. After deciding what should be done first write that one down on a separate piece of paper in big letters and throw the first list away. Now post that item somewhere where you can�t miss seeing it and focus on just that one item. Now you only have one thing to accomplish instead of a dozen or more.  Don�t even think about the others until that one is completed then make a new list and do the same thing and you'll be amazed at what you accomplish.

There�s a TV commercial about a pain reliever that references a fact of physics that says that a body at rest tends to stay at rest and a body in motion tends to stay in motion and that applies here as well.  Just the action of choosing which item to do first gets the ball rolling.  Many times the hardest part of any project is simply getting started.

Do you sit down to pay your bills each month and see that once again you�re running out of money well before you run out of month and you haven�t been able to save a dime and you're down to your last   Do you tell yourself for the hundredth time that you need to find a way to generate additional income? However getting a second job is not a viable option for you, if you can even find one.

Have you ever considered the fact that there are hundreds of millions of people online today and that with the advent of all the new communication devices available today that number is experiencing tremendous growth? Are you also aware that Internet shopping is one of the fastest growing segments of our economy, soon to rival even stalwarts like Walmart?

 If you�ve ever considered looking into an online home business but don�t know where to start let me suggest one that is no hype, no lies, no scams and very reasonable. Make the first move with no obligation to do anything but review it at no charge. It could well be the impetus that makes the difference and gets that body in motion. Remember, every journey begins with a first step.
