Have you ever felt that way?  I know I have, the feeling of monotony and same “stuff”; different day repetition. If you asked most of us we may say we would invite positive changes in our lives, but would not be able to take the first steps toward it. Change has to be one of the most uncomfortable things that we go through.  It doesn’t matter if it is in your personal or professional life.  Although change is most of the time a positive thing, it can be portrayed as negative.  If you look back and reflect on your day, your week, month, year etc. does it look similar to what Phil went through?

For a lot of people, 2010 is a fresh start for those pesky New Year resolutions.  Exercise more, take a vacation, write that thank you letter that you keep putting off, get more organized, save money and the list goes on.  In a recent article posted on TIME Magazines website, author Maia Szalavitz states, “…poll[s] also found that while 65% of people who made a resolution in 2008 kept their promise for at least part of the year, 35% never even made it out of the gate.”

Sound familiar? We find a great way to change and improve our life and then we forget about it.  It becomes a dusty memory sitting in our closet of “should haves”.  The good news is…it’s only February 4, 2010.  Starting late is always better then never starting at all!  Pull out your list and look at it again.  When you wake up tomorrow are you going to feel like Phil and have yet another Groundhog Day or is it time for some small changes in efforts to reach your larger goals?
