		<description><![CDATA[Today after my workout I wrote a letter to myself.  I think a lot of us look for encouragement from others when sometimes we need to encourage ourselves.  At first I felt kind of cheesy but when it was done and I read it to myself I was pretty fired up.  I want to encourage you to try this exercise yourself!

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I talked a little about how we can't change others, only ourselves.  I want to talk about how our actions speak louder than words.  By changing ourselves we can encourage those around us to make changes without saying a word.  I am going to share how I use to be a "gonna do" person instead of a "do" person.

		<description><![CDATA[As we proceed deeper into the new year at what seems to be an incredible rate of speed, I am forced to come to some self realization.

When the new year started I decided that I was going to be more consistent with things in my life.  This blog, for example, is something I wanted to be more consistent about.  Looking back over the past year of my pieces showed me that I was rather sporadic.  I'd have a week of blogs then some time off, then another week and some time off

		<description><![CDATA[I am not going to spend a lot of time talking about resolutions today.  Everywhere you look and everyone you talk to is going to be telling you how to make and keep resolutions and how to keep them.  Just like every other year many people are going to read about resolutions and get all fired up for a solid week or two.  Unfortunately, after that short amount of time many people are going to start saying "Well there is always next year."  Have you ever noticed how packed the gyms are the first month of the new year?  Have you noticed how spacious the gym feels by the second month?
