AND BUILDING POSITIVE QUALITIES IN 2022 TRASHING BAD HABITS I’v e come to learn that there is good in ev eryone. We all make mistakes — we are only human, after all. Howev er, it is imp ortant to remember that mistakes do not de ne us, and there is v alue in maintaining the best v ersion of ourselv es. Instead, it’s imp ortant that we take a mistake, learn from it, identify any bad habits or decisions that may hav e led up to making it, and trash it. If it doesn’t serv e you, it’s essential to mov e forward. In 2022, let’s dev elop and exp and on qualities that best serv e ourselv es and others. In ex hibiting lov e, kindness, supp ort, and understanding toward others, we feel good about ourselv es and p rov ide a p ositiv e outcome for those on the receiv ing end. The p ast few years hav e p rov ided us with amp le time to re ect on ourselv es. The isolation had us all analyz ing ourselv es, wondering whether or not we hav e been our best selv es p rior to lockdown. As we inch closer and closer to a new normal in 2022, we need to keep looking forward.

Get in that ex ercise! Not only is it great for you p hysically, but it’s also mentally refreshing and keep s you alert and in a p ositiv e mindset, all of which is essential to make good, sound decisions. Ex ercise also p romotes better sleep , too — and we all know we need as much of that as humanly p ossible! In fact, it’s one of the best ways you could p ractice self-care. Could you dev elop better sp ending and sav ing habits? We p robably all could. Whether it’s sav ing up for a sp eci c v acation we would like to take or exp anding up on our sav ings or emergency fund, creating a budget and sticking to it is one of the best ways to reduce imp ulse buying. J ust be sure the budget is realistic and attainable. Lastly, our diet p lays a large role in bettering ourselv es. Be sure to make better choices while dining out, and learn to cook healthier, heartier meals at home. Esp ecially after holiday indulgences, dialing in our diet is imp ortant. Heading into the new year, my hop e is we all can supp ort each other in our e orts to bring out the best in each other as we p rogress toward our best selv es yet!

”It is important to remember that mistakes do not define us, and there is value in maintaining the best version of ourselves.”

Happ y New Year! May it be lled with happ iness, lov e, good health, and p rosp erity.

Set up a routine for yourself to keep yourself on track to meet goals and be mindful, taking time each day to re ect on the little things. Small corrections are much easier to make along the way than trying to p atch up big errors. If you nd yourself dev iating from a goal, there usually is a quick x .
