Five Essentials for a Winning New Year

Simple Changes to Make Today

According to Carmichael and Rutberg's book, the concrete changes you need to make today are:

Establish consistency in your fitness:
Consistency is the watchword. Find 20 to 30 minutes a day to be active. Go out for a walk, take a jog, do indoor cycling. The key is doing it every day.
Cut the clutter from your diet: Eliminate things like fancy coffee drinks, and stick close to the source with whole foods. Eliminate trans fats and high fructose corn syrup (read food labels). Limit alcohol consumption and carbonated beverages (the average American drinks 40 gallons of soda a year).
Behave as a role model for others in your career: In leadership, your actions speak louder than your words.

Nurture your important relationships:
Write down who your most important relationships are with and what's most valuable about them. Read these notes regularly.

Get the recommended health screenings:
Men are especially lax in this area, and typically don't go to the doctor until a symptom is severe or they are nagged by their spouse. Early detection can reduce life-threatening diseases by 50 percent. So make an appointment today to get your health screened.
