Here are three easy New Year’s Resolutions for 2012.  They work for all age groups

1.  Give yourself permission to relax
We all enjoy our lives more if we aren’t exhausted. Moments Count! Take a moment to  enjoy a hot cup of tea or hot chocolate or some other healthy drink. Sip slowly, Savor the Moment! Extra moments can be spent by putting up your feet for a while. Enjoy your favorite magazine article or book.

2. Indulge Yourself
So you’re craving a cookie or chocolate? Indulge your craving and have A “really good cookie” or one piece of quality chocolate. Just don’t eat the whole box.
Studies have shown that severely depriving yourself of indulgences (like chocolate or french fries) will almost always lead to binge eating down the road. So allow yourself some treats in moderation, and even it out with a smart food choice, like a piece of fruit. You’ll be happier and most likely, it will lead to smarter diet choices.

 

3. Catch Up on Sleep
Allow yourself to sleep in…or go to bed early… or take an extended nap.
Lack of sleep has been linked to anything from disease to, moodiness, and childhood obesity. Resolve to squeeze in a few more hours of sleep a week ­ your body will thank you!

Every moment we have in life is precious. None of us know just how many moments we have left on the planet.
So cherish the ones that you have!
