Thinking about thinking about your New Year’s resolutions? It’s
always in the back of our minds as we wend our way through the
holiday merriment and another year comes to a close. If you’re
thinking, “@^&#*, the same thing will be No. 1 as was No. 1 last
year!” why not try something different?rriment. Another year
coming to an end.

New Year … new start, but did you know that most people have
already failed with their list by January 15th. If you don’t
want this to happen to you (again), consider getting the “thing”
that can make those resolutions works: a coach. It can be the
prime ingredient for your success.

Coaching developed to meet a need that wasn’t being met. We’ve
all wished at one time or another we had a coach, like the pro
athletes do; someone to help us be all we could be. Someone to
shine some light on those corners, and remove the obstacles we
seem to keep throwing in our paths without knowing why.

Coaches can help you get mindful!

Coaching is not for getting “fixed.” It isn’t to be confused
with therapy. Some people enjoy the benefits of both therapy and
coaching, which demonstrates the two are not the same thing.
Coaching supplies something therapy cannot, and vice versa. In
coaching, we focus on strengths, positive psychology, emotional
intelligence, and forward movement. It’s rapid and effective.

“Oh,” you may be thinking, “So it’s like having a friend.” No!
Coaching is work and takes a trained professional. Done properly
it takes more time, energy, focus and expertise than even the
most well-meaning friend is likely to have. Friends Have their
own agenda and issues Aren’t objective Aren’t trained or
experienced Have a unidimensional relationship with you - you
know before you go what they’re going to tell you to do. There
are no surprises. Will give you answers

A coach, on the other hand is: Trained and experienced
Objective Focused on you, not themselves Will come up with
some real surprises for you if they’re any good at what they do!
After all, if what you’ve been doing were working, you wouldn’t
be where you are right now, right? Will give you questions

The New Year is a perfect time to start coaching. A coach can
help you make a realistic list of resolutions and then coach you
to complete each item on your list. Wouldn’t you like to be
feeling different at this time next year. Perhaps you caould
even say, “For the first time in my life XXX is not on my list
of resolutions!”

on your list of resolutions.

There is one type of wedding favor which is almost always appreciated by the guests at the wedding and this is an edible wedding favor. It doesn’t matter what type you eventually decide on a sweet option or a savory one, they will still be enjoyed. If you have a special wrapper made up it will look that little bit special and even a simple bar of chocolate will be a popular choice. These chocolate bars can be simple milk chocolate, dark or white chocolate which are filled with items such as almonds or raisins. Most wedding candy wrappers will have the details of the bride and groom plus the date and venue of the wedding which can be kept as a memento of the special day.

When candy bars are not an option, why not have the edible wedding favor candy in a tin instead! Guests are more likely to hold onto the tin as a keepsake if there is a reminder of where they were given it so placing the wedding details on the tin makes sense. You can guarantee your guests will take the tins away with them even if they are empty because not only will they be a reminder of the day but they are practical as well. Most people will tuck into an edible wedding favor even if they do not normally eat candy because the occasion makes them more susceptible.

One unique way to give out candy as wedding favors is to use large glass bowls as the centerpieces for the tables and fill the bowls with the bride and grooms’ favorite types of candy.
