Part One: Small Steps, Big Changes for the New Year

As the New Year begins, it’s easy to feel the pressure of resolutions. But let’s face it—those big, ambitious goals can often set us up for disappointment when life gets in the way. Instead of striving for a perfect January, why not focus on small, sustainable changes that last the entire year?

The key to progress isn’t about doing everything at once—it’s about taking small steps and building habits that stick. Here’s the first step to getting started:

1. Set Realistic, Specific Goals

Resolutions like “get fit” or “eat healthier” can feel overwhelming because they’re too broad. Instead, break them down into smaller, actionable steps, such as:

• Move your body for 30 minutes a day—whether that’s walking, yoga, or a workout you enjoy.

• Add one extra serving of vegetables to your meals each day.

• Replace one sugary drink with water or unsweetened tea.

When your goals are clear and manageable, it’s easier to build momentum and stay consistent.
