New Year, New Habits: Journaling Your Way to Wellness

As the year draws to a close, many of us are taking this opportunity for  a fresh start. The "New Year, New Me" mantra resonates loudly, prompting us to reevaluate our health habits and set new goals. 

I love the idea of giving ourselves a fresh, clean slate to start new-  but how often have we jumped headfirst into January with grand aspirations, only to find our motivation fading away by February? 

Amidst the excitement of new goals and fitness regimes, there's a simple, yet powerful tool that can significantly enhance our journey of self-improvement: Journaling!

The combination of colder weather and plenty of comfort food can mean that your health and fitness goals are sidelined over the holiday season.

It’s a magical time of year, but it also tends to be very unhealthy too. 

A lot of us feel lethargic and sluggish after overindulging over the holidays. Add in the fact that fitness can go on the back burner at this time of year, and you've got a recipe for feeling unhealthy and gaining some extra pounds.

Lots of people find that they put weight on too, which can be hard to shift come January. If you want to avoid this scenario, you’ll need to be a bit more diligent over the festive period and take a few extra steps to be active and eat well. 

So let’s talk about how you can enjoy a healthier holiday season this year and still keep things fun.
