With 2024 here, it is important to have a positive mindset for this new chapter of our lives. While the holiday season comes to an end and we move on to winter, it is possible to lose sight of caring for ourselves and taking in the positivity of a new beginning.

Winter can be a hard time for people with seasonal affective disorder getting in the way, however  it is essential to not forget our purpose in this world and know that we can be the best version of ourselves even when times are tough.

Ways that this new year can be refreshing and relaxing is starting off with simple goals. When the new year comes along, people make nearly impossible resolutions to motivate themselves to do better in the upcoming year. However, it is important to understand that we don’t always need to have unrealistic goals.

Simple goals, like remembering to do breathing exercises, meditation, or smiling will help to revive peace and a calm mindset. Starting off with these goals will assist in creating a better mindset in 2024.
