Healthy New Year
We’ve rung in the new year and watched the ball drop, and by now you’ve likely decided to make a new year’s resolution or not. You may have resolved to exercise more, or stop biting your nails, or lose those extra pounds, or learn a new tune on the guitar each week. Each of those – and every other new year’s resolution you may have commended to yourself – is a laudable goal. But if April rolls around and you realize that you haven’t been to the gym in a couple of weeks, or that the last time you picked out that old Bob Dylan tune was back in February, don’t be hard on yourself. The purpose of a new year’s resolution shouldn’t be to give ourselves one more thing to stress about. We’ve got enough of that already. The purpose of a resolution should be to build health, whether individually, in relationships and families, in our communities, or in our ecosystems.
