The best news of 2020 is that it’s over!
January 5, 2021
The best news of 2020 is that it’s over! We’re happy to have put this year behind us and are eagerly facing a new year…the ultimate clean slate. Out with the old, in with the new! Yes, please!
While we’re welcoming a new year, we can simultaneously welcome a new you…The ‘old’ you is, no doubt, great. But right now presents a fabulous opportunity for you to become even better, especially when it comes to health, fitness, eating habits, hobbies, socialization, and more.
We’ll call these changes New Year’s resolutions. Monticello West assisted living in Dallas is an ideal place in which to achieve your goals. And the timing is perfect…if you start living a better life now, when COVID is finally behind us, you’ll be well-positioned to face the world head-on.
It’s estimated that as many as 45-50% of adult Americans make resolutions for the new year. The phenomenon of the clean slate is technically called a temporal milestone, a specific time or date that separates the past from the present and the future. It’s a boundary and is thus, a significant point in time in which to turn things around. Of course, if one misses New Year’s Eve, the ultimate temporal milestone, there are countless alternatives, including beginnings of months or weeks, anniversaries, birthdays, and more. So if you missed starting your resolution on New Year’s Eve, there’s still plenty of time.
The actual process of setting goals or resolutions has potential benefits.
The very thought of resolutions is a helpful reflection of your life and things that could add to the quality of it.
Resolutions support making positive changes that can enhance the quality of your life.
Setting goals boosts self-confidence and self-esteem in your life.
Successful New Year’s resolution setting and achieving can be contagious—but in a good way. It’s likely to motivate others to make and achieve similar life-improving goals.
If you fall off track, don’t consider it a failure. Hop back up and keep going.
