New year, new you: your key to a happy and healthy 2011!

Posted in 'Health and happiness' on January 19, 2011, 12:43 am
Kindred Gifts' Chief of Operations Pete Bennett offers some sound advice on making this year better than the last:
 
How many times have you promised yourself that "this year will be different, I'll be organised this year"? If you are anything like most of us, you'll probably need all your fingers and toes to count.

Why is it so hard to change our patterns of behaviour? I think it's because of the way we approach change.... We take on something new, all gung ho and ready to become a new version of ourselves – which quickly fades away once motivation is lost when we’re confronted with the daunting task ahead!

 
In my past life as a personal trainer I have seen that change is most effective when you commit to doing only one or two things and doing them properly. You don't need to be Wonder Woman. Crawl before you walk and walk before you run so to speak. Create a base from which you can build on in order to reach the top and achieve your goal.

So with that in mind, conquer the year ahead by writing things down! Did you know the brain doesn't even see a goal as real if you don't write it down? Our brain has a ‘Reticular Activating System, or RAS, which is the automatic mechanism inside your brain that brings the relevant information to your attention (like listening out for your boarding call amongst all the noise of the airport). Filter your own ‘noise’ by writing down what is important.

A handy little tool to help you become more organised, eat better, have more free time, and feel more confident this year is the 2011 On To it (OTi) Organiser.

 

The organiser keeps all the tools, information, and content you need every day in one stylish, easy to manage location so you can simplify your life quickly and easily. It puts an end to all the clutter by delivering one organiser instead of a combination of tools like diary, to do list, shopping pad and so on.

The OTi contains a section for appointments; a To Do list; an area to list calls you need to make; menu and exercise planning; public and school holidays (AU & NZ); a removable booklet to record contacts, birthdays and favourite website details; an events section to make organising holidays and entertaining easy; handy refillable post it notes; a pen loop and pen/pencil; elastic enclosure; bookmark ribbon; inside front pocket for loose papers; and a durable and wipeable cover. Phew!

Oh, and yes ladies, it’s also going to fit in your handbag perfectly!

This pretty little organiser is great to buy for yourself, or for someone you know who could do with a little help in the organizational arena. Available in 3 colour choices (pink, blue and silver), it’s perfect if you’re looking for practical yet beautiful corporate gifts or gorgeous gifts for her. As well, if you’re looking to contribute your bit to the world by buying more eco friendly gifts this year, then the Oti is a great option – it’s printed on acid and chlorine free paper using pulp from sustainably managed forests.

It's also great if you’ve resolved to buy more charitable gifts this year as $2 is donated to the Australian Childhood Foundation from each OTi purchase. On top of that, don’t forget that 2% of the sale price is also donated from Kindred Gifts to charities. What’s not to feel good about with this little beauty?!

Better yet, the organiser is now on sale for 25% off the retail price, down to $27! With free shipping within Australia until the end of January, this is a great find and fantastic bargain!

Buying all your gifts online this year is a great way to get some time back, and we think the OTi organiser is a great place to start. Click here to grab yours today – the more organised amongst us have already bought theirs so there is limited stock left!
