We often see a new year as an opportunity for a fresh start but in most cases give up on our ‘resolutions’ after the first few attempts. Our philosophy is that you can’t give from an empty bucket which basically means there is nothing wrong with taking the time to look after yourself and achieve these resolutions.

One of the most common resolutions that fails is ensuring we take time for ourselves and do the things we enjoy or that will make our lives even better. Here are some simple tips to keep you on track:

1. A resolution should be achievable so that you can make the change you desire. Even big goals can be broken down into achievable bite sized chunks if you think about the steps along the way.
2. Starting the year with a health cleanse or detox is an excellent way to refresh and rejuvenate your body, to establish better patterns. It’s a little like a ‘reset’ button to get you on track.
3. Start each day with 5 minutes of meditation. You don’t need to be a guru to be able to sit quietly and focus on how you would like your day to pan out. What would you like to achieve that day? Is there a difficult situation that needs to be resolved in a certain way? Remember, positive thoughts will lead to positive outcomes.
4. Develop a personal mantra that describes yourself and what you would like to achieve eg, ‘everything I touch turms to gold’ or ‘I communicate openly and effectively every day’, or my personal favourite ‘everything I need is already within me’
5. Maintain your health by increasing your fitness and remember the simple biological fact that energy creates energy so the best thing to do is get out there and move. If you’re new to training then consult a fitness expert such as the team at Evolution to Wellbeing to help you kickstart a program that suits your needs.
6. Regular massage will help your body reduce stress, prevent injury, detoxify and cleanse as well as relax the nervous system and mind.

Studies completed in 1998 in endurance athletes, estimated overuse injuries have been estimated to cause between 35%-65% of all sports injuries 1. As we can see in the City to Surf, with a record number of participants in 2007B, there is an ever-increasing number of ‘fun-run’ participants since these figures were released, increasing the need for safe and effective training programs for all levels of participants.

As we see an exponential increase in the number of participants in these endurance ‘fun runs’ there is also an increase in injuries due to poor technique, preparation, core strength and footwear. This document discusses the main fibre characteristics of an endurance runner, effective training methods, how injuries may occur and how they could be avoided.

It is often with dread that we think of making changes, especially within ourselves.  Many of us will procrastinate and make up excuses to prolong any sort of change.  It is only reluctantly that we will embrace it, and even look forward to it? Sound familiar?
