IT'S FRIDAAAAAAAY, AND IT'S THE WEEKENNNNNND BABY!
Hello Guys and Guyettes,We have come to the final goal setting tip of this series. Remember, if you would like to receive a complete copy of goal setting tips, email me @ richeyrich01@gmail.com and I will forward them to you at no cost.
7. Be sure they’re really YOUR goals: Check in with yourself to make sure that you’re thinking about what YOU really want. Often we try to please others at our own expense. You won’t be successful trying to reach the goals your parents, spouse or other friends or relatives want for you.
Now, that was a great tip! I want to encourage everyone to write your goals down on paper. It's important that they are not just in your head. The challenges of life will always present hurdles and distractions. Clearly write them down so that you will have a reference point at your side to keep you on track. Humh, now that tip was for free. (lol)
The Bible says,
"Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it."
Habakkuk 2:2 (New King James Version)
Don't hesitate, Do it now!
That's all for now, have a great weekend!

Goal Setting Tips
Hello Mates! We are down to the wire on the goal setting tips. Today's blog really has great information as well, take notes!
6. Here are four tips for writing effective goal statements:
* Say it like it’s already happened: When writing your goal, say it like it has already happened. Put your goals in words that assume that you already have achieved them. For example, “I now have a new silver BMW 4 door 2010 sedan.”
* Use motivating language: To get you passionate, committed and motivated, add emotional language to your written goals. Here’s an example “I absolutely love and am excited about my beautiful new home in the hills” which is much more passionate than “I like my new home in the hills”.
* Write specifically and in detail: Because your subconscious manifests things literally, you want to write specific detailed goals. Use language that is clear in describing exactly what it is you want
* Write in positive terms rather than negative ones: Examples of positive statements might be: “I am now free of the habit of smoking”, or “I am now a smoke free person”. Negative examples might be: “I don’t smoke anymore” or “I’m not a smoker”.
Ok everyone, wasn't that good? I hope this has been informative, we have one more tomorrow. Make sure that you tune in. See you then!

Goal Setting Tips
Goal Setting
Have you set your goals for 2010? We’ve heard about it all our lives, and there are literally thousands of quotes, books, and articles about setting goals; how the process contributes to your success, but, so few people actually set goals.
But it’s a fact: Serious Goal Setting will greatly contribute to your success; goal setters are huge winners. There is an often-quoted study done at Yale University that placed goal setters firmly in the successful category when compared to non-goal-setters. The 3% of the participants who had actually written down their goals with a plan, followed that plan and took consistent action were happier, more confident and better adjusted. They also earned more money over that 20-year period than the 97% of the other participants.
So why not be among the 3% who will set goals and live by them? You have everything to gain; and nothing to lose. This is perfect timing for the setting of your resolutions and goals for 2010 and beyond.
Because of space limitations, over the next seven days we’ll only be able to touch on a few of the basic Goal Setting tips in this extensive series. (Pay little attention to the numbering of these paragraphs – these have been selected from a total of 76 “tips.”) But if you’ll drop an email to richeyrich01@gmail.com, I’ll be happy to send you the full series (at no cost, of course.)
These basic Goal Setting Tips are organized in a sequence that will support you from thinking about your goals to actually achieving them. And remember; only about 3% of us will actually follow through with setting our goals for 2010 and beyond, so make a decision to be numbered among the few; it works! Here is the first of seven tips that I will share with you over the next seven days. Let’s get started, shall we?
Here we go:
Goal Setting Tip #1
1. Use a journal to keep track of your goals, journey where you may keep daily or weekly records of your progress including affirmations, successes, appreciations for your hard work, rewards, resistances, obstacles, etc. Use your goals journal to write goals initially and to rewrite them over time. Use it to break your goals into steps. Review your progress regularly and jot a few notes.
There are a number of paper and digital methods for keeping these records such as notebooks, planners or professional goal tracking software. Develop consistent habits of writing about your thoughts and goal progress. It will propel you forward at a faster pace. Use colored pens, stickers and pictures for emphasis.

The Latest Findings in Coffee
To judge by recent headlines, coffee could be the latest health-food craze, right up there with broccoli and whole-wheat bread.
But don't think you'll be healthier graduating from a tall to a venti just yet. While there has been a splash of positive news about coffee lately, there may still be grounds for concern.
The Latest Findings on Coffee
Hector Sanchez for The Wall Street Journal
Diabetes: Many studies find that coffee—decaf or regular—lowers the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, but caffeine raises blood sugar in people who already have it.Cancer: Earlier studies implicating coffee in causing cancer have been disproven; may instead lower the risk of colon, mouth, throat and other cancers.Heart disease: Long-term coffee drinking does not appear to raise the risk and may provide some protection.Hypertension: Caffeine raises blood pressure, so sufferers should be wary.Cholesterol: Some coffee—especially decaf—raises LDL, the bad kind of cholesterol.Alzheimer's: Moderate coffee drinking appears to be protective.Osteoporosis: Caffeine lowers bone density, but adding milk can balance out the risk.Pregnancy: Caffeine intake may increase the risk of miscarriage and low birth-weight babies.Sleep: Effects are highly variable, but avoiding coffee after 3 p.m. can avert insomnia.Mood: Moderate caffeine boosts energy and cuts depression, but excess amounts can cause anxiety. Source: WSJ research
This month alone, an analysis in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that people who drink three to four cups of java a day are 25% less likely to develop Type 2 diabetes than those who drink fewer than two cups. And a study presented at an American Association for Cancer Research meeting found that men who drink at least six cups a day have a 60% lower risk of developing advanced prostate cancer than those who didn't drink any.
Earlier studies also linked coffee consumption with a lower risk of getting colon, mouth, throat, esophageal and endometrial cancers. People who drink coffee are also less likely to have cavities, gallstones, cirrhosis of the liver, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, or to commit suicide, studies have found. Last year, researchers at Harvard University and the University of Madrid assessed data on more than 100,000 people over 20 years and concluded that the more coffee they drank, the less likely they were to die during that period from any cause.
But those studies come on the heels of older ones showing that coffee—particularly the caffeine it contains—raises blood pressure, heart rate and levels of homocysteine, an amino acid in blood that is associated with stroke and heart disease. Pregnant women who drink two or more cups of coffee a day have a higher rate of miscarriages and lower birth-weight babies; caffeine has also been linked to benign breast lumps and bone loss in elderly women. And, as many people can attest, coffee can also aggravate anxiety, irritability, heartburn and sleeplessness, which brings its own set of problems, including a higher risk of obesity. Yet it's just that invigorating buzz that other people love and think they can't get through the day without.
Why is there so much confusion about something that's so ubiquitous? After all, some 54% of American adults drink coffee regularly—an estimated 400 million cups per day—and coffee is the second most widely traded commodity in the world, after oil.
But don't think you'll be healthier graduating from a tall to a venti just yet. While there has been a splash of positive news about coffee lately, there may still be grounds for concern.
