Happy New Year!

Happy 2026! 

New Year, New Goals: small but powerful resolutions for long term change:

• No one has to face obstacles in finding what makes you peaceful except you.

• Find the good memories that make you feel content and focus on what made those memories good.

• Recognize what triggers you and think about why. Don’t be afraid to be honest even if it reveals something about yourself that contributes.

• Don’t give up – find that one thing that you enjoy and build on it.

• Try new things – sometimes the biggest challenge is just to start. If it doesn’t work, be flexible and look for something else. 

• Remember you don’t have to be perfect.

• Make progress on one thing & keep it simple. Set small goals and recognize the value in meeting those small goals.

• Listen to music. 

• Dance.

• Create.

• Tinker.

• Breathe.

• Exercise.

• The only thing anyone can change is themselves. Stop trying to change a situation – change how you respond to the situation.

• Don’t allow someone else to add to your already overloaded schedule by dumping - you already have enough of your own issues to handle - take that time to focus on you.

• Decide who and what brings out the best in you and focus on that.
