The Wrong New Years Resolution Could Make 2006 A Very Bad Year

According to surveys, only 8 percent of Americans successfully achieve their New Year's resolutions. A whopping 45 percent fail by the end of January! When a new year starts with failure, that's a set up for a bad year. Who wants to have a bad year? In order for 2006 to be a great year, it's important to choose the right resolution.

Most people choose external New Years resolutions--things like lose weight, get a new job, clean up the house, stop smoking, etc. That's the kind of New Year's resolution author, Andrea Rains Waggener, used to make. Not anymore. She’s learned the secret to true happiness, and she shares it at her website, http://www.waggener-books.com.

"Every New Year, I kept trying diets so I'd feel good about my body; sometimes I lost weight and sometimes I didn't," says Andrea whose website, http://www.waggener-books.com, advises people how to live "An Up Beat, Tail-wagging Life." "But even when I did, I didn't feel better about myself. I tried making big 'To Do' lists that I was never able to finish. Then I'd start getting down on myself. I never got what I really wanted." Andrea says she wanted what everyone wants--to be happy. New Year's resolutions are a just a way to be happy.

Stacking up outer accomplishments and material things, though, isn't going create real happiness. Only developing inner qualities will do that. When you develop a whole toolbox of qualities like the 52 described and taught in Andrea's book, Healthy, Wealthy and Wise—Fifty-two Life-changing Lessons for the Twenty-first Century (Hazelden 2005), that's when a good year and a happy life become easy to create. Andrea Rains Waggener tells her readers:

- The main reason goal-setting often fails
- Three easy ways to develop any quality
- How life will improve when you develop each quality
- What the big pay-off is for turning yourself into a quality person

Here's what one reader, licensed massage therapist, Sandra Lee, has to say about Andrea's work:

"Andrea tells stories from her own life that you, the reader, can truly relate to. And suddenly, you discover that she's drawn you to a place of understanding something extraordinarily important and valuable about how to live life. And given you sensible tools and practices for having your own existence be even more upbeat and vibrantly alive. My life is happier and more satisfying as a result of reading of her writings.”

Contact Andrea Rains Waggener at (360) 581-4085 or e-mail her at theupbeat@coastaccess.com for more insights into this topic. Andrea has been featured in Fitness, Shape, and Diane magazines. She’s been a guest on Pacific Northwest TV’s Northwest Afternoon and Being In Seattle, as well as on several radio talk shows.
