Experience, (and I’m sure research) tells me that our energy levels and motivation are much higher when we feel good about ourselves. I’ve just run across this great post on 22 Tips for Building Your Self Esteem!. For example,

So keep your interest in life at a high level by being in the company of enthusiastic people. This way, you will get infected by their positive attitude. You will view the world in its full shining glory and move around oozing with energy. In the same manner, it would be wise to stay away from negatively inclined thinkers. When you are surrounded by negative people who constantly put you and your ideas down, your self-esteem is lowered.

Here’s a useful site for those who don’t have people keeping them accountable to looking after their health: Hassleme.
From the website:

Not eating enough fruit? Forgot to feed the fish again? Need a little help keeping your New Year’s resolutions?
Tell us what to hassle you about, and we’ll nag you via email at semi-unpredictable intervals.

You can set up different “Hassles” such as:

• Go for a walk roughly every 3 days
• Get an early night roughly every 5 days
• Buy more low GI foods roughly every 2 weeks

Or my favorite:

• Check out givemenrg.com roughly every 2 days
