<P class=StoryText align=justify>MANY of us begin our new year with all good intents. We make resolutions that we really plan to live up to, but come February, we forget that we had actually made them. So many people have taken the easy way out, and resolve to not waste time making resolutions. But, no matter the doubts, it is important to have some sort of plan, no matter how short lived.<P class=StoryText align=justify>Christine Morris, business and life coach, explains why.
"It is good for you to have a clear vision of what you want for your professional, personal and spiritual life. Spiritual life is very important," she said. "You need to be centred doing the things you love, if not, it makes you miserable."<P class=StoryText align=justify>So all woman is offering some advice this year, on those must-do things every woman should have on her list.
Why don't you strategically plan to:<P class=StoryText align=justify>1. Get out of relationships that are taking you nowhere. For some it may be a boyfriend, for others, a common-law union and still for others it may be a husband. If for 2006 you spent more than five of the 12 months at each other's throats; begging him to pay the bills after having your utilities disconnected on a number of occasions; if you've had to be fumbling and scraping to send the kids to school, even though he collected a reasonable salary each week/month, then you need to think twice. If your life is not being improved while sharing it with someone else, then it is time to move on.<P class=StoryText align=justify>2. Get rid of that married man. If you are along with a man who has been telling you all of last year that he is ending his marriage to be with you month after month, and yet every night he goes home to his wife, then you need to move on. Chances are, he is only telling you what you want to hear. He may be having a good relationship at home and is taking you for a ride.<P class=StoryText align=justify>3. Get out of an abusive
relationship. If you have been hit or beaten by your lover more than twice and after each occurrence he brings you flowers and a list of apologetic words, teary eyed and all, it's time to seek help. A pastor or a counsellor is now the next option. But if at this stage he decides not to change, then as Pastor Al Miller said, "baby, run lef dat! or the next time I see you is burial!". As he pointed out, "I would not advocate that the woman stay and be killed and in fact, nobody should. The first time he raises his hand - get help! If there is not preparedness for adjustment on his part then she has to go," he said.<P class=StoryText align=justify>4. Use an alternative method to have a baby. If you have been trying for a baby all of last year without success and if you and your spouse have both had check-ups and there's still nothing, then make a resolution to try an alternative method, or visit the Advanced Training and Research in Fertility Management at the University of the West Indies, Mona for help.<P class=StoryText align=justify>5. Spend time with yourself. If you have been working and spending your salary solely on your family, spending all your time with the kids, husband, ghurch, charity organisations, community services, etc, then resolve to spend some time on you and/with yourself for 2007. Pamper yourself from time to time, take some time to relax, spend time doing the one thing you've always wanted to do (that could even be a trip to Blue Mountain peak). In fact, for the next 12 months, take the time each month to do one thing for you. If you are happy and healthy, others around you will definitely benefit.<P class=StoryText align=justify>6. Do things for others. There is great satisfaction in doing things for others. Think
