My new thing for ’06 is “Get it right, get it tight” I know that doesn’t rhyme with ’06. But, I have already decided that that is going to be my battle cry for the year.
’05 has been a good year for me personally. I did a lot of growing within this year. I learned that it is okay to think about myself. Life is easier when I don’t do things that I don’t want to do. The world isn’t going to end if I say, “No”. Also, you shouldn’t say, “No” to everything because you could be blocking your blessings. When you choose yourself than others will you choose you. Sometimes people are in your life for a reason and a season. It is okay to let people go. And, most importantly, you should celebrate yourself! Everyday is a new opportunity for something wonderful and fantastic to happen to you.
I came across some information that may be useful to you to start your New Year off right:
I believe that we are all Superstars, in one way or the other, so why not receive fan mail confirming that belief. Sign up at http://www.markkaye.com/ you can receive some! Mark Kaye loves getting fan mail. He loves it so much he thinks everybody should get some! Type in your name and email and Mark Kaye will send YOU fan mail every week to remind you how great you are!

Here are some really useful tips for Career, Health and Maintaining Goals
TIPS FOR JOB HUNTING ON THE INTERNET
Here are Job-Hunt.org's seven rules for searching for a job using the internet:
Protect your privacy.
1. For your job search, use an anonymous e-mail address (HotMail, Yahoo, etc.), and limit the contact information in your resume to your e-mail address and cell phone or other unlisted phone number.
2. Don't look for a job with a new employer while you are at work.
That's a quick and easy way to get fired. According to a 2005 American Management Association survey, 76% of employers monitored employee Web surfing, and 25% fired employees for inappropriate use of the Web or e-mail.
3. Use the Web to research an employer before you apply for a job.
Visit the employer's Website to see what they do, and find job postings. Also visit Yahoo Finance, BusinessWire.com, PRNewsWire.com, Hoover's, etc. to discover the latest news about their industry, competition and financial situation. Don't be the last person hired before layoffs begin. Guess who'll be first out?
4. Don't depend on any Web job site (large or small) to find you a job.
Job boards can be very effective, but recruiters receive an overwhelming number of resumes for every job. Instead, differentiate yourself from the crowd by following these rules and following up on every application, politely but relentlessly.
5. Use the Web to expand and renew your personal network.
Check your school's career center, local job search support group, former employer's "alumni" network, and/or any professional or industry organizations you have joined. Post privacy-sensitive profiles with sites like LinkedIn, Ziggs, ZoomInfo, etc., but be cautious about disclosing information irrelevant to your job search.
6. Leverage technology to differentiate yourself from the pack.
Use the computer combined with your research to create resumes and cover letters customized for specific opportunities. Unless directed otherwise, copy the text of your resume and cover letter into an e-mail. Don't attach them.
7. Don't expect e-mail to be reliable. Most organizations protect their e-mail systems with spam filters that might send your message to the junk mail folder. And their messages to you may meet the same fate. Follow up via phone, and check your junk mail folders often.

10 TIPS FROM CAROL ESPEL, National Director of Group Fitness and Exercise Physiologist
1. Create your own contract. Write a contract to yourself with your resolutions and all the reasons why you want to keep them, and then sign it! By signing the contract your have committed to yourself that you are going to stick to your Resolutions.
2. Make small, attainable goals. If weight loss is your goal then consider starting out with 20 minutes of cardiovascular activity 2-3 times a week, then slowly increase your time to 30 minutes each session. You will begin to see and feel a difference in a few short weeks!
3. Hire a certified personal trainer. Having a trainer will keep you on track and give you the motivation and direction you need to obtain your goals.
4. Clear your shelves and fridge! Throw out all of the junk food in your house; if it isn't in the house you won't be able to eat it when you feel the urge. Replace old snack foods with new ones like cut veggies and fresh fruit.
5. Stay off the scale. Use the way your clothes fit to judge your progress, not the bathroom scale. Muscle is denser than fat. You may be losing inches without significant weight loss.
6. Chose an activity that you really enjoy doing. Participating in activities that you enjoy such as walking, riding a bike or going to group exercise classes will not only keep you motivated, but, by mixing them up, will keep boredom from setting in.
7. Make it part of your day. Schedule exercise as if it were lunch. No one likes skipping meals right? Then don't skip your exercise appointment.
8. Motivate yourself by listening to music while you exercise. Putting on your favorite music while you exercise will lift your spirits and put some pep in your step.
9. Exercise with a friend. Having someone that needs you to motivate them as you much as you need motivation helps you both stay on track.
10. Reward yourself. Once you achieve a short-term goal, do something nice for yourself ... perhaps buy a new piece of clothing that makes you feel great.
Enjoy the process and arrive at your goals in a timely manner. As your lifestyle changes, your activity and strength will naturally increase and results will come in an easeful and enjoyable progression.

3. Establish a date for when this goal will be achieved.
4. Create a detailed plan and take some action immediately.
5. Write out a clear statement of the goal.
6. Review the goal, preferably out loud, twice a day.

The Harvard Women's Health Watch suggests six reasons to get enough sleep:
1. Learning and memory: Sleep helps the brain commit new information to memory through a process called memory consolidation. In studies, people who'd slept after learning a task did better on tests later.
2. Metabolism and weight: Chronic sleep deprivation may cause weight gain by affecting the way our bodies process and store carbohydrates, and by altering levels of hormones that affect our appetite.
3. Safety: Sleep debt contributes to a greater tendency to fall asleep during the daytime. These lapses may cause falls and mistakes such as medical errors, air traffic mishaps, and road accidents.
4. Mood: Sleep loss may result in irritability, impatience, inability to concentrate, and moodiness. Too little sleep can also leave you too tired to do the things you like to do.
5. Cardiovascular health: Serious sleep disorders have been linked to hypertension, increased stress hormone levels,and irregular heartbeat.
6. Disease: Sleep deprivation alters immune function, including the activity of the body's killer cells. Keeping up with sleep may also help fight cancer.
