Hi SavSani Family,

So after a week of reading our wonderful journal entries and creating actionable, achievable goals, now what do you do?

Well, you should reward yourself!

Rewarding yourself is the best part of completing your goal and helps you to stay on track to accomplishing your goal. With a reward, you have something to look forward to and something to keep you motivated on those days that you don’t want to wake up for that 5am run.

What type of reward should you give yourself? Well that completely depends on your budget and the type of goal you are creating. If you goal is tone your body and loose body fat, then maybe once you’ve achieved your goal you treat yourself to a new article of clothing. Whatever your reward is, it is important that you keep it within reason. Evaluate your budget, and make sure the reward matches the goal.

So there it is family! Our tips to remaining focused, and on tasks in 2012! Let us know your thoughts on how to stay on tasks in 2012!

Hi SavSani Family!

So like many of you, I am always “connected” to the internet. From the moment I wake up in the morning, my iPhone is attached to me as though it were another fabulous accessory. Early this week, I spoke about the importance of writing down your resolutions using pen and paper. While I still believe that’s incredibly important, there are some other tech devices and apps that you can adopt in order to help you with your resolution.

Are you trying to say more organized this year? Then turn to one of my favorite apps, TeuxDeux (pronounced to-do). This app is great as it provides you with a simple way to write down the many things you have to do during the day/week. I generally sit down every Sunday, write down all my To-Dos and then enter them into the website. You can also download the app for about $2.99 for your iPhone, and you’ll have all of your information synced up there. I love the app, and it keeps me productive and on task.

If you’re looking to stay healthier this holiday season, check out MindBloom. Mindbloom’s app is free in the App store and it helps you turn your iPhone into a source of inspiration for all of your resolutions and activities. Best of all, the app is free!

Do you guys have any other apps that you use to help you keep on track with your resolutions? If so, let us know!

Hi SavSani Family!

So you have written down your actionable goal, now what? Well, its time to start keeping tracking and holding yourself accountable for your actions. Now, this is probably one of the toughest parts about keeping your resolution, being honest with yourself. Sometimes, everyone needs a cheat day, but those cheat days can often add up and become habits.

Our goal in creating resolutions and goals is to replace our bad habits (smoking, drinking too much alcohol, leading a sedentary lifestyle) with good habits (not smoking, working out, eating sensibly). If we continue to let our old habits linger as part of our lifestyle, they will never truly leave our bodies.

So how do you remain accountable? Well one very simply way is to write it down. As I explained yesterday, writing down your actions makes them tangible and a part of your life. Another way to remain accountable is to have a trusted friend work with you to maintain your goal or resolution. When we have a partner, we can work off each other’s energy and stay focused on the task at hand.

So, write down your actionable goal and make sure you stay accountable! Tune in for our post tomorrow, on how technology can help you to remain focused on your goals!

Dear SavSani Family,

Yesterday I spoke about the importance of creating resolutions that are actionable. Hopefully you have taken some time to think about what goals you would like to achieve for this year.

Today I am going to talk about the importance of writing down your resolution. Why is it important to write down our goals? Well once something is written down, it becomes tangible. Once a goal is tangible, we are less likely to put it aside.

In this age of digital, we often think that writing our goal down means using a Word document. It does not. While digital technology has advanced our society, our mind, body, and spirit is still structured to recognize and understand handwritten information. It is for this reason that I encourage all of you to write down your goals! Writing them down, as I said before, is the first step in ensuring they become a healthy and active part of your life.

So find a journal or even a scrap of paper and write down your actionable goal. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow to talk about Step Three of sticking with your resolution!
