How to Succeed at Your New Year's Resolutions:

Tips and Tricks to Accomplishing Your Goals This Year!

The Daily Friz


Happy new year everyone! Have big plans this year? A lot of us make New Year's resolutions every year only to end up having the exact same resolutions made the following year. Weight loss, quitting smoking, and ending other bad habits are often at the top of people's list. After all who wouldn't want to have a healthier more rewarding lifestyle? In this short post there are a few easy to use tips and tricks to staying the course with your new year's resolutions. Good luck on the new and improved you 2.0, this year.


Dieting:
     Eating and drinking healthy can be as easy as writing a grocery list and sticking to it when at the store. Pretend you're a bouncer at an elite club; if that candy bar by the register is not on the list, it's not getting into your cart.
     Pay attention to the labels of the products that you buy! Many of us have a hard time pronouncingservings per chart before downing that bottle.
let alone understanding product's ingredient lists but we can prevent ourselves from falling prey to misleading calorie counts. That soda may say only 110 calories; however look at the serving size and the

Exorcise:
     Make an exorcise plan but don't plan on sticking to your outline. Trying to follow a ridged guide for fitness when starting off is hard. You won't know how much or how little your body can handle at first until you get out there. Following someone else's established regimen may either limit you or cause you to feel depressed and outright give up if your ideal workout is too hard initially. Take a week trying different things either at home or the gym to get a better handle on how your body reacts before developing a long-term regimen.

Quit Smoke and Other Bad Habits:
     The psychology of smoking and other bad habits can make quitting these troublesome quirks difficult, often more so than the chemical withdraw symptoms one may face. A smoker for example has, over a length of time, typically been programmed when to smoke: after sex, while driving, with the morning coffee, at the bar, and so on. When you stop smoking you don't stop doing those other things. Being in the situations where you once smoked the most will make it harder to quit, so try to engage your attention towards other pursuits when these situations approach. Depending on the habit, replacing the act with something similar like chewing on a carrot for smokers will help ease out of the psychological withdraw.

Quick Tips:
~Brush your teeth. Avoid the smell of tobacco smoke while trying to quit smoking as this could lead to cravings.
~Don't do it alone. Statistics show greater success at attaining goals when others are involved.
~Let friends know your goal. Saying your goals out loud to others makes them more psychologically important than keeping them to yourself.
~Treat your savings like a monthly bill. When balancing finances at the start of the month, put aside a realistic amount for savings and treat it like a paid bill that can't be refunded for until the end of the year.
~Don't get too wrapped up in the planning of goals. You may loose steam too soon if the most involved part of your goal was the planning of it not the doing.

A Short Guide on How to Astral Project

Astral Projection What is it and how does one go about it The Daily Friz Astral Realm Depiction      About three years ago while doing research for a college course I happened on an article about meditation and visualization practices. Up until this moment in my life I was led to believe that things like meditation and old world spiritual concepts were just things found in low budget movies on the science-fiction channel or for guest gurus on morning talk shows. After the well worded post opened my mind to concepts that I had never given much thought, I began to look into philosophical arguments for the soul, life origins, and even quantum theories. Throughout this time one common topic, though whispered at first in the forums and published documents kept popping up, astral projection. What is it?      Astral projection has had many names in many cultures: spirit walking, out of body or near death experience, dream travel, and others. Astral projection assumes that c

Why Birds Poop in Their Water

Why Birds Poop in Their Water An odd behavior avian pet owner's deal with The Daily Friz      If you have ever owned a small bird for a pet, then you have noticed that even the prettiest of animal tends to have the most disgusting of habits. I have been a bird owner for about 5 years now (Parakeets and Love Birds) and have noticed that no matter the size of the bird or the cage, they always seem to make a mess. Whether it's going to the bathroom in their food and/or water containers or just generally making a mess of their bedding, these little devils seem to be instinctively messy. Poop Tea - A bird's delight?      The waste material of a bird usually comes in three colors: clear, white, green or brown. The bile in a bird's digestive system may determine the ultimate color of the droppings, typically their waste is comprised of three parts urates, urine, and of course the feces. Now I don't believe that I have ever met someone who purposely tak

Secret to Insulating Your Home on the Cheap

Bubble Wrap   That's right you heard me, bubble wrap. The Daily Friz        During the summer my kitchen was starting the renovation process and we had to replace an outside facing wall due to some water damage. The job was not really that huge of an undertaking as it would seem. Construction talk aside, we had discovered a lack of insulation in our 100 year old house. Turns out all that separated our kitchen from the elements was some plyboard and balled up newspaper from the 1960's. You read that correctly, old newspaper stuffed in the walls to insulate us from the outdoors. The revelation that the coming winter would be a little on the chilly side had me thinking of cheap ways to cut heating cost until proper weatherization could be done the following year.          Now you probably clicked on this to read about how simple, cheap, or often free bubble wrap could save you a few bucks in the winter and I promise not to disappoint. You see insulation, whether
