His smile lives on in all of us. SO MUCH can happen in 365 days but how many of those days do we squander away? Take a moment to think about something you’ve always wanted to do, have or learn. If you’d started working towards it twelve months ago it could be yours now. As a holistic health practitioner it’s my job to help my clients control their anxieties and limiting beliefs, and work towards their own goals with confidence. I draw on my own life experiences to show people that anything is possible if you just believe in yourself. Ten years ago I walked away from an abusive marriage, taking my three very small children with me. I started over—new home, new schools and a new job. I went to night school to retrain in holistic therapies while working during the day as a sales manager in a conference and event department. I gradually built up my client list until I could leave my sales role and start my own holistic business. Recently my eldest son said to me, ‘I’m so proud of you, Mum. Even when you’re really tired you still get up and carry on.’ As thoughtful and lovely as that was, I didn’t want my children to be proud of me for simply existing on a day-to-day basis. I wanted to show them that they could achieve anything when they set their minds to it, but how would I show them? As yet another year rolled to a close I decided that if I was going to show my children—and my clients—that it was possible to make your dreams come true, then I’d have to prove it. Sitting at my parents’ house on New Year’s Eve, I realised that my string of broken New Year’s resolutions would be the best starting point. Regurgitated goals swam around my brain; get fit, read more, lose weight— all respectable objectives until you eat your own body weight in leftover mince pies before the decorations come down! Resolutions abandoned. I CHALLENGED myself to stick fastidiously to completing twelve resolutions, one a month, over the next year. To add to the pressure I decided to blog the results for the world to see: www.motivatemenow.co.uk. When I began the challenge I had clear objectives, to teach my children they can achieve their wildest dreams and to show my clients that they are amazing women who can empower themselves to accomplish their own ambitions. I wanted to motivate people with the challenges I set myself. Never did I expect it to change my life. This book is designed to be a motivational tool to help you rekindle forgotten passions or make changes which are long overdue. If you fancy starting your own resolution challenge, don’t feel you need to wait for New Year’s Eve. Start today, start on Monday, or begin at the start of a new academic year. Don’t put that dream on hold anymore—do it today. In just 52 weeks you could be prolific in Italian, running your own business, relocating to the seaside or editing your first novel.
