We are pleased to bring you another year of Words of Wellness. For many, New Year’s Day is the launch of new goals and new plans. Some research suggests that beginning work on a new goal is most effective on “fresh start days” like the first of the year, or a Monday, or some other personally significant day, like a birthday. Other research suggests that linking your short-term goals and plans to a larger purpose or vision can increase commitment and success.
