Make Your Health Your 2012 Priority

For so many of us these days, life seems to be a whirlwind; a never-ending stream of to-dos and important obligations requiring our attention. And often times we seize the opportunity to assess, change and re-evaluate at the beginning of the new year, setting goals and priorities that are sure to make the year ahead the healthiest one yet, but then it happens…we get caught on our same old path.

As we speed ahead into 2012, I urge you to hold true to goals and priorities to make your personal health and well-being a top priority.

There is no better time than the present to take your personal health and well-being into your own hands and make strides to ensure your spirit, mind and body are in sync. Good health is vital to your very being. Maybe this year you make the commitment to eating more balanced meals, spending more time playing with your children, reducing your stressors or quitting a bad habit. Whatever it is, make a conscious decision to make a change for the good of your health.

Each day people work with us at the Y for a variety of reasons, and we are continuing to see more and more individuals come to us who have never created a health routine. You may want to be active and exercise more, you may want to learn how to manage and reduce their stress levels, or you may be seeking social interaction that will help you make a personal lifestyle change. Whatever your reason for joining us, at the Y we welcome you and look forward to joining and supporting you on your personal wellness journey.

To further support your efforts, new members get one free month when they join the Y in February. So visit your neighborhood Y today and make the commitment to your health this year!
