New Year, Better You

Go beyond the usual resolutions and try something different this year.

Here is a list of creative resolutions for a happier and more peaceful you:

Journal one line a day.
Declutter your social media- lose the toxic friends and accounts.
Take back your lunch break. Seriously!
Cook one new thing each week.
Spend 5 minutes a day cleaning.
Quit the negative self-talk.
Talk to a stranger every week.
Evaluate yourself on a weekly or monthly basis.

Super tip for helping your resolutions stick: Instead of saying “I have to” say “I want to” or “I get to.” Instead of “I have to exercise for 30 minutes a day” say “I want to exercise…” How we think about our goals can make all the difference.
