Last week was “Ditch New Year’s Resolution Day”.  Anyone else feeling a little bleak after hearing that there is a day for quitting?  So, our question  to you is this – what are you doing to encourage and support New Year’s Resolutions and Goals for your members, employees, friends, and colleagues?

A few of us here at NIHCA signed up for a local Health Challenge.  The fun part is that even though just a handful of us signed up (it’s a four person team) the encouragement and support is throughout the office.  Knowing you are a part of something bigger than just yourself makes it much harder to give up.  When you feel like you just can’t keep going there is someone there who gives you that gentle nudge and you realize you can go further.

“You do what you can for as long as you can, and when you finally can’t, you do the next best thing.  You back up but you don’t give up.” ~Chuck Yeager

As we are working together to make small and big changes we ask you ~ how are you supporting those around you and keeping the “Ditch New Year’s Resolution Day” a day in the past?
