Can you believe the first month of the new year is already coming to an end? I always get so excited in December to set big goals for January, and it’s always humbling to sit back a few weeks later…
Preparing for a healthy vacation, no matter where or how long you’re traveling
Despite my excitement, and despite having traveled a lot in my adulthood, I often get anxious about a lot of the aspects of travel. When it comes to packing, preparing, and how the trip might impact my mental and physical health – just the logistics leading up to the airport can be enough to really rattle me, even before the trip itself actually begins. I overthink the weather, what clothes to pack, and how many. I usually way overpack and it’s always most obvious by my shoes! I mean, who needs more than an average of one pair of shoes a day? I guess if ever it’s me, at least I’ll be prepared. I’ve definitely gotten better over the years at being more kind to myself about my packing habits (and other habits lol). But I’ve also been able to incorporate some strategies or personal best practices to help alleviate some of my stress when it comes to travel.
Three fiction books for finding yourself in 2023
As the year comes close to an end, you might be thinking about how to “improve” yourself in the new year. It’s a pretty standard tradition to explore a new resolution, to reflect on how we’ve grown over the past twelve months, and to consider what might change as we move into a new frame of time. I personally love this aspect of the season.
If I’m being completely honest, I try really hard to stay reflective throughout the entire year – not just waiting until December to look back and learn. But there is something unique about this pre-set construct of time to inspire us to get better. And what better place to start than picking up a potential guide on how to do so?
