Doesn't it come around quickly? It's the start of another year and, as per usual, you might be thinking about changes you would like to make in 2010. 'Out with the old' as they say.
What happened to last years resolutions? Did you achieve your goals or, like most people, did you start out with good intentions, only for your enthusiasm to wane and old habits creep back in? Why would this year be any different if you try the same old methods?
Let's face it, you'll probably try another diet if you want to lose weight, give the patches another go if you want to stop smoking, seek yet more counselling for the trauma you experienced when you were five and find out that nothing changes. Within a few weeks you have put back on any weight you lost, the cigarettes are back up to 20 a day and you are still stressed, depressed, angry or all of these things combined!
Each year I make my own resolutions, personal and business - and I write them down. Research shows that this is vital if you want a better chance of succeeding. Not everything I hope to achieve comes to fruition - and not everything I plan to do actually happens - but it's the intention that counts. Getting focused. Putting the energy or vibe out there. Then taking action! It's no good just thinking about it. You have to actually do something. But this year - DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT IF YOU WANT DIFFERENT RESULTS!!
As a therapist at stow-hypno it never ceases to amaze me how many people try to make changes with the usual methods, only to fail miserably. 95% of diets fail. Waste of time! Stopping smoking with will-power, medication, patches or gum is nearly always temporary, sometimes lasting just a few hours! I won't hark on about this too blatantly but if you are serious about making significant changes this year - in your personal and professional life - that are permanent instead of temporary you can find out more at my hypnotherapy site http://www.stow-hypno.co.uk. I've even got special offers on in January.
With regards to The Lullabys, I feel optimistic of a very exciting year ahead. Our intentions are to record a new album, release a second single, do a mini-tour and get onto the festival circuit. The album will be recorded at the start of the year; we've got no gigs planned until spring-time because we'll be busy in the studio, though there may be the odd one now and then, for which you'll need to keep a look out ;-).
Looking back over the photos, there were some great moments during 2009 and we hope you will continue the journey with us through this year - and beyond! Indeed, we will be asking for your help with various tasks throughout the year. The first is help with the next album cover. We'll tell you more about this in the forthcoming newsletter, due out soon.

I have also recently set up my own myspace page as I go in search for a publishing deal - yes, this being my biggest goal in 2010. As a song-writer I need to get my songs published. Thankfully I have a good team of people working with me who will hopefully make this happen. Find me on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/gavindavidroberts. Yes, Gavin David. I had to use my middle name 'cos there is another Gav Roberts out there somewhere who beat me to it!
So, this is a time of hope right now. Hope that things can be different this year. Hope that changes can be made. That goals can be realised. Take this wave of optimism and ride with it!
Write down your goals. Take action NOW. Do whatever it takes. And if you can't or seem to be stuck in the doldrums or repeatedly sabotage your own efforts you need to come and see me!
Whatever 2010 holds for us all, we need to learn, grow and share our wisdom.
Until next time...
Gav xx
