Small street scrap adds five dollars to city treasury The United Way of Northern California an- nounces the launch of my- freetaxes.org. Developed through a partnership of several United Ways in Califor- nia, the new website is designed to connect area residents with United Way services in the community as well as find free tax preparation services. Most community mem- bers earning less than $60,000 a year qualify to file their taxes for free us- ing the web-based option powered by user friendly H&R Block software. A link is also available to find a site where Volunteer In- come Tax Assistance per- sonnel can help prepare re- turns.Mostpersonsearning less than $53,000 a yearcan qualify to use this service. Many area residents who prepare their own re- turn may not claim credits that they qualify for, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit. By using either the web-based option or find- ing a VITA site near them, myfreetaxes.org can help tax filers find the EITC and other credits. The av- erage EITC credit for the 2013 tax year in California was $2,373 For more information, call the United Way of Northern California at 241- 7521 or visit myfreetaxes. org. UNITED WAY Site helps find free tax preparation I remain gobsmacked by a statistic I recently learned. By this time of the year, north of 80 percent of people who — at the beginning of the year — said, "This time I mean it! This is the year I'm going to lose those extra pounds," have given up. Done. Over. Wiped their hands and walked away. The Centers for Dis- ease Control says that, as of 2012, 69 percent of our population is overweight or obese, with almost half of those folks classified as "obese." Those extra pounds underwrite a multitude of health conditions, both physical and emotional; and we all know about them. Therefore, one might think that the urgency to shed an expanded waistline could be enough incentive to stick with a program longer than six weeks. One might think that. One would also be wrong. The number one rea- son people quit their pro- gram is that they don't feel they're losing quickly enough. Granted, if they could slow down racing to the refrigerator long enough to realize that a slow weight loss is faster than a no weight loss, they might stick with it a tad longer. Yet, in all fair- ness, it's difficult to remain cold sober logical about your progress when the scale won't budge. "Get- thin-quickly" scam artists are partially to blame for the false expectations that drive the frustration, but they are actually symptoms of a deeper problem foster- ing the unrealistic drive to drop weight faster than a brick can fall from a six- foot wall. So, why are we in such a hurry? There are two factors at play. In no particular order, the first reason we crave losing weight at an unre- alistic pace is that we're afraid that we will lose our motivation before we "get there." We think, "If I can just shed these pounds be- fore my mojo goes, I'll be okay. After all, once it evap- orates, it's never to be seen again." The reality however is that motivation follows be- havior; it doesn't cause it. What propels us to begin the journey are feelings of desperation, anger, shame, fear, self-disgust, embar- rassment, any of the above, all of the above. It matters not which dictionary you chose, none of those emo- tions will be associated with the definition of "mo- tivation." In actuality, we start from a place of "inspira- tion," rather than "motiva- tion" — and there's a signifi- cant distinction in that. "In- spiration" is external, while "motivation" is birthed from within. We can control mo- tivation but not inspiration. Moreover, despite common knowledge, "inspiration" is not a choir of angels signing on high and it is not always pretty; it can be downright gritty and ugly. Having a doctor tell you that you're going to have a heart attack if you don't lose the weight is inspira- tional. Hearing your spouse say, "You've really let your- self go. What happened to you?" is inspirational. Un- derstanding there are more years in the rear view mir- ror than through the wind- shield can be inspirational. Most times, we're in- spired to change because of fear or pain. We hate where we are and we want to move far and fast away from it. To that end, we'll do whatever it takes. But because we do take action, we get results. The scale moves, our energy re- bounds, our clothes fit bet- ter. That feels good and the dark cloud starts to clear, leaving behind it feelings of happiness, pride, success, and empowerment; indeed the very definition of "moti- vation." Now motivated and driven by our own actions, we attempt other behaviors and achieve better results. Motivation doesn't just "happen," it is forged from small actions done repeat- edly. It will show up any- time we need it. Invite it in, change a small behav- ior and focus on how you feel. Next week, we'll talk about the other major rea- son why we give up too early.
