Resist the urge to burden yourself with unrealistic resolutions to lose weight, eat healthier, or exercise more.

Wellness is a lifestyle built on small, daily intentions - Growth goals that may stretch you a bit, but aren't out of reach or unrealistic.

Reframe goals that pivot to the positive:
💖I want to exercise more because I love my body - not hate it - and I want to feel and function better with more strength and mobility for healthy, active aging.
💖I want to eat better - adding more whole grains, lean proteins, and vegetables for sustained energy, focus, and emotional well-being.
💖I will have a plan, but be flexible, adjust, and adapt when necessary.
💖I will view setbacks as opportunities (not failure) to learn, grow, and keep myself moving forward.

I wish you a blessed New Year full of discovery, awe, hope, and joy.
