Keeping New Year's resolutions is hard, but it can be a whole lot easier if we rely on our Higher Power to help us. Statistics show that 95% of Americans believe in God. What if we began each day with just 15 minutes of prayer or meditation to connect with the God we believe in? Some people read from an inspirational daily reading book. Others meditate during yoga. Some, unsure how to pray simply ask, "Help me, God."

    

So as we pull out the rowing machines or rediscover the treadmill (currently used as a clothes rack!) and begin keeping a journal of what we really eat as opposed to what we think we're eating, we can rest assured we are not declaring this New Year's Resolution alone. As we resolve to nurture our bodies, minds, and spirits, let's trust that our Higher Power is supporting us, helping us, and assuring our success.
