THRIVE – Focus on a better version of you in 2018!
Nora Rhoades, Family and Youth Development Agent
As the year ends, we often find ourselves anxiously awaiting the transition into January. The first month of a new year is named after Janus, who is the god of beginnings according to Roman mythology. Janus is believed to be a two-faced god that looks into both the future and the past.
To many, the ultimate New Year’s resolution is to thrive. We reflect upon our past to identify and visualize what parts of our life need attention, support, encouragement and commitment. We set goals, identify success strategies and develop plans to prosper. January is more than just a flip to a new calendar month. It is an opportunity to refocus on the most important aspects of our life.
Even if you classify the past year as excellent; our minds, bodies and environments naturally challenge us to seek out a new adventure toward self-improvement. Then, there are those of us reflecting back on a year that has not met our expectations. We may feel like there is nowhere to go except ‘up’.
As you define your resolutions, know that wherever 2017 leaves you standing is a great place to begin. We all deserve to thrive – to prosper, to flourish and to grow.
Focus on a better version of yourself this upcoming year. Your strides do not have to be long in order to be successful. They simply need to be realistic, meaningful and focused on improving your well-being.
