Happy New Year

Why do we make New Years resolutions? I recently read that, based on social scientific research, happiness is about 40 percent genetic, 10 percent situational, and 50 percent habits and mindset. (Dr Amen “You, Happier”).

With that being said, we have more control over being happy. I hope that more people stop making “2023 resolutions” that will fade away and start incorporating their goals on a consistent daily basis contributing to one's overall life journey.

It is also important to reflect on the previous year and focus on the good things rather than what went wrong and how you will “fix” that for 2023. It’s all about putting your energy towards the things you can control, rather than the things you cannot.

And remember, always be willing to change your mind.
