The New Year brings promises for personal growth and positive change. From lifestyle to professional and relationship to financial goals, our beginning of the year hopes, dreams and aspirations are plentiful.
Some of these goals will quickly fade, but others will make their mark on our daily lives. The changes that typically last are the ones that are easy to incorporate into the day to day, because they are simple and specific instead of vague and broad.
For example, “This year I will have a smoothie each day to live a healthier, more nourishing lifestyle” can be much more achievable than saying, “This year I’m going to be my healthiest ever.”
Small, simple changes add up quickly.
Give it a try. You’ll be surprised!
To get you started with this small, simple change, we’ve created a smoothie recipe to help kickoff your 2015.
