Alternatives to Traditional New Year’s Resolutions Try out one of these unique and fun alternatives to typical New Year's resolutions, and check out the wealth of tips for making your goals achievable!

An interesting read about the difference (and effectiveness) of setting intentions instead of resolutions!!
"Becoming aware of how you would like to feel about yourself and beginning to make your changes from that place
will help you to be more realistic when deciding upon your intentions. This self-awareness will also give you more
incentive to actually follow through on the steps you will need to take to reach your goals.
You may well find that this kind of inner change brings your intentions to fruition more swiftly
than trying to "fix" yourself from the outside in..."

New Year's resolutions? Try intentions instead. In the immortal words of John Lennon, another year is over and a new one's just begun. Isn't it interesting how we, as a society, agree that this is the time to give ourselves and our lives a complete and total new makeover?

Happy New Year! Stay safe and continue to set SMART goals!

These tips are really helpful for working on your Healthy Obsession!!

The Wellspring Team recently got together for our annual planning meeting and even though it was was chilly outside, we managed to do a bit of team building in the great outdoors!

Check out this great message from Manda, a Wellspring California camper this past summer:

I just wanted to say that today All of you Wellspring campers truly inspired, and helped me get through a fitness class today. Those of you that joined in the Fun, and Awesomeness that was Hanna's Zumba classes this summer in CA alongside me should remember having some laughs as I tried Really hard to follow along with you all! Haha
So today I decided to once again jump into a Zumba class...I wish I could have taped it for those of you that expressed struggle and frustration in one way or another (Rimac Hill for example), because this class was my Rimac hill:) As I got frustrated with myself and my uncoordinated legs haha- I could feel my scrunched face, & looks of wait what? A few of you popped up in my mind and I found myself instead of creeping slowly or more so sprinting to the door to get back into my comfort zone, laughing and pressing on shaking off one missed move to the next. You kids are amazing and the things you worked hard at and accomplished daily never escape my mind. I hope you all are having a great winter and are getting in some awesome workouts, perhaps even trying a new class or winter sport! Sending lots of love, appreciation, positive vibes, and encouragement your way!! 😊
Cheers!
Amanda

Hi, my name is Kristen LeBrun and I am excited to be the new director of Wellspring California. I began working with Wellspring in La Jolla as a personal trainer/camp counselor in 2012. As a certified Personal Trainer I continued my career in PT working at different gyms as well as my own studio. In the midst of getting my Masters degree in Exercise Science, I was able to come back to camp at Wellspring Florida as Program Supervisor. The opportunity to direct the Florida camp arose post graduate school and I was thrilled to continue my career full time with Wellspring! I will always have a special place in my heart for Wellspring Florida campers and staff but am more than excited to take on the California camp. I cannot wait to meet all the returning alumni campers as well as bring a positive energy to WCA. Let’s have some fun in the sun!

Excited to share another Wellspring Florida camper's motivational story, here is what she has to say:
"Before camp I was always that person who would always be too lazy to do anything. I didn't play any sports before camp, never intended to go to the gym with my parents and always that one kid who always wanted to stay at home and do nothing. Camp was a life changing experience for me. I didn't expect to become the person that I am today. Wellspring has helped me in so many ways, my camp experiences and relationships motivated me 24/7 to be the better me. When I returned home from 6 amazing weeks at camp, I stayed on track and followed what I did at camp with SMJ’ing and getting steps in . Because of Wellspring, I'm working out everyday, making healthy food choices, and realizing that life is short so you have to make the best out of it!" - Isabella C.

Alex shares his success from Wellspring Florida this past summer! He has continued to be successful at home which is truly inspiring. Alex is more confident and it shows through his infectious smile! He has continued his journey at home making healthy food choices and exercising regularly. Alex is proud to be a part of the varsity football team in Pop Warner! Keep making those Friday night lights shine!
