  • 1.  New Year, New You?

    Posted yesterday

    With the new year rapidly approaching, I was thinking about Resolutions.

    Looking back at the 2022 post on New Year's Resolutions, I'm pleased to say that I've stuck with mine from that year.

    Each work day, I write down 3 things that went well. I add up the total at the end of each month so I can keep my own "things that went well" statistics.

    Next week, I'll be wrapping up Volume 4 of my series, and in January I'll be starting Volume 5.

    I'm on track to end 2025 with 714 things that went well this year and 2,628 things that have gone well since starting the list. (Another fun stat is that means I will have worked 876 days since moving home from Mexico in Spring 2022.)

    It really has made an impact on my outlook on challenging days since I know I have to come up with 3 positives. If you're on the lookout for a potential new habit, I recommend giving it a shot.

    Do you have any resolutions or goals for 2026? Or any you're proud of sticking with from a previous year?

    Heidi,

    This is a great topic to start to get all of us thinking about the New Year. It will be here before we know it.  Mine for the last few years, and I plan to implement for the upcoming year is to drink more water.  It's one healthy habit that I sometimes fall behind on during busy days.  It helps foster other healthy habits as well so it's one that I continue to try to implement year in and year out.

    Wishing Everyone a Happy Whatever Holiday you Chose to Celebrate this time of Year as well as a Great New Year
