It’s January. If you consume social media in any form, I’m sure whether you like it or not, you’ve been exposed to various “new year, new you” types of posts. It’s the posts and advertisements where businesses prey on people’s insecurities making them believe that whatever product or service they are selling is what’s been missing to make them truly happy and typically marketed as helping them “look their best”.

I don’t always write down and share my goals or intentions with others, but I felt the inspiration to do just that this year. I know that a new year can bring added pressure, feelings of unworthiness, or disappointment for what may not have been achieved in the past year. I hope that you use this time to do what makes most sense for you

The holidays bring about so many emotions. Some are excited for time off and time spent with family, while others are worried about overeating, lack of exercise, and emotionally navigating certain family members. Regardless of what you celebrate and how you choose to do it, I wish you a happy and healthy holiday season.
