The holidays are a perfect time to relax, but getting back into a routine afterward can feel overwhelming—and that’s completely normal! A gradual reset is key.

Start small by focusing on one or two habits, such as getting consistent sleep, prepping meals, or planning your day. Prioritize your health by ensuring proper sleep, nutrition, movement, and taking mental breaks to make it easier to stick to your routines.

For parents, help kids transition back to school routines by establishing consistent bedtimes, predictable mornings, and small habits like preparing backpacks ahead of time. Remember, patience and reassurance are vital.

Routines should support you, not add stress. Take it step by step, lean on your support network, and be kind to yourself. You’ll find your rhythm again!

Clutter can take a toll on mental health, adding stress, anxiety, and that overwhelming feeling we all know too well. In 2026, Spencer Hospital employees are taking on a Clear the Clutter Challenge, and we invite you to join us! To keep it simple and doable, we’re focusing on one area of clutter each month.

We’re kicking things off in January by tackling linen clutter—think extra towels, sheets, blankets, and more. Clear out what you don’t use, create space, and start the year feeling lighter and more organized. Feel free to take your gently used items to nonprofits like animal shelters, Fresh Start Market, Goodwill, etc.

Who’s ready to clear the clutter with us?
