One thing you can begin doing is make a daily list (I do this) and list 5 things you want to try to get accomplished on that day. It can be anything from work related to health, to family committments, etc. But each one you tackle, cross it off your list. (the action of crossing it off is a GREAT feeling in itself!).
This time of year is predictable.....the gym becomes FULL with all the "newbies" streaming in with their gift certificates and resolutions to get in shape ! Less then 2% are there in March....I have been watching them drop like flies for 10 years. Most of them don't ask for help and go too hard too soon and injure themselves and motivation drops off.
A good gym should provide personal training session with a new membership but then after three or four, most new clients are left to monitor themselves or must hire a trainer for continued success.
Hiring a personal trainer is NOT a luxury - sometimes it is a valuable choice that can lead to wonderful life changes. I hired a personal trainer 10 years ago and she became not only a friend and show me that anyone can transform themselves, but also inspired me to follow in her footsteps.

One of the best things you can do is start a "motivation board" - put in up where you will be see it every single day ! You can put pictures, quotes, travel spots you wish to go to....anything that makes you happy. BUT you should include a picture of at least ONE goal and your step by step plan of how you are going to get there !
Then reward yourself when you get there !
The feeling of this is like no other drug ! It's similar to the "runners high" that any of you that run understand....the more you do it, the more serotonin and endorphins increase in your body making you crave it more and more !
SO - make your "To Do" list today and start your Motivation Board as well !!!
As always, I am here to help !
Happy New Year, Happy New You !
