Happy New Year from Andrea Buginsky

A new year is upon us, and that makes it the perfect time to evaluate ourselves and determine just what we want for ourselves in the coming year. Now’s the perfect time to look at the changes you want to make in your life, whether it’s your personal life or your professional life.

If you’re looking to make changes in your personal life, such as living a healthier lifestyle, doing something that will make you happier, changing a bad habit, or starting a project that will make you feel better about yourself, now’s the best time to begin planning for it. If you’re looking to lose weight, or just start living a healthier lifestyle, begin to eat healthier and exercise more. If you’re trying to break a bad habit, do it in small steps that are easy to reach. If you’re looking to start a project that will make you feel good about yourself, check out local volunteer organizations in your neighborhood.

If you’re looking to make changes in your professional life, start by determining what kind of change. Do you want to find a better job? Apply for a promotion at your current job? Work less hours? Once you figure out the best course of action for you, you can begin to determine how to go about doing it.

If you’re having trouble determining the best course to take to create the new you for the New Year, ask a friend for help. Having somebody to help coach you and give you a little push and some encouragement can go a long way to you achieving what you want in 2012. Happy New Year!

    This such a great post and so very true. Change is scary, but but when you do it in small increments, it's not bad at all.

Andrea Buginsky has enjoyed writing since she was a kid. Once in college, she decided to turn it into a career and earned a BA in journalism. She has been writing freelance for several years now.

She is excited to announce her first publication, The Chosen , a young adult fantasy. As writers know, writing can sometimes be hard. You have moments when you want to write, but don’t have time. You have moments where you have the time to write but no idea what to write. You even have times when a huge deadline is looming and you’re working day and night to meet it. These obstacles and more can make your writing life a hard one. Not to mention the publicizing and advertising that comes with it. But you suck it up and do what you have to do for your writing career because it’s what you really want. T
