Well, if you are anything like me you are constantly striving to make positive changes in your life. One of the best ways to start this process is to make a list. Yes, we've all heard it before, "write it down or it won't happen" but I really do believe that unless you take time to write things down, you will not be able to make the changes you are looking for.
So, what to do? Make a list of 10 things in your life that you would positively change. From that list take the one thing that if you were able to change would have the greatest positive impact on your life. Once you have identified that, you need a plan of action. This won't necessarily require another list but it will no doubt require quite a bit of thought.
If you are looking for help on this subject, I can recommend two very good books. Brian Tracy's book "Eat that Frog" and "The Power of 4" by Paula Owens both offer a number of suggestions on how to make positive changes in your life.
While we are on the subject of change, here's an easy way to start. Probably the single most important food missing from the American diet is green vegetables. So make a commitment to to include more green vegetables in your diet everyday. There are lots of leafy green vegetables to choose from. Right now, broccoli rabe is in season. You can also find kale, collard greens and spinach. Broccoli rabe and kale are two of my favorites and are really easy to prepare. They can be steamed, sauteed or boiled; tossed with a little garlic, salt and olive oil and you have a very tasty and healthy side dish.
