Whew! We made it through another year trip around this earth. If you are reading this, congratulations on surviving 2025. It really was a tough year, right? But we made it!
If you want to enjoy 2026, try to make some changes. Don’t be a couch potato, go out and make some changes.
Try to meet new people. Also smile more. It takes less muscles to smile then it takes to frown. Besides, when you smile, you feel good and makes everyone around you feel good too.
Try to be excited about new things – try a new exercise class. Even if you goof up, you will feel better when all is done. I’ve tried various classes, even ones I wasn’t sure of and had a blast.
Try volunteering. I started volunteering at the new West Henderson Hospital one day a week and it’s really rewarding! The staff is so remarkable and appreciative with volunteers and I love helping!
Try to declutter your home. If it’s something you haven’t used in quite a while (or worn) throw it out or donate it to charity.
I’ve gone through my closets and drawers and gotten rid of clothes I’m tired of, don’t fit right and just need to make some space in my closet. You’d be surprised of what you find when you’re decluttering!
Unfollow negative people on social media. I’ve “unfriended” some people who constantly post negative comments, are rude, disgusting or I just don’t have anything in common with them anymore. You’ll feel so much better and have a sunnier attitude.
Try a new craft or hobby. I never thought I’d be such an addict of jigsaw puzzles, but they are so much fun, keeps the brain cells working and what an accomplishment when they are finished!
Studies have shown that puzzles, Sudoku or any “brain work” will help to keep us all alert and young thinking.
So my goal in 2026 is to try new goals, enjoy life, as we are not promised tomorrow.
POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND HAPPY HEALTH TO ALL!
