The new year brings with it millions of posts on goal setting, resolutions, dreams, aspirations and so much more. It can leave people feeling inspired or totally overwhelmed. Some people avoid resolutions as it can bring with it negative connotations but others need to have targets and things to work towards.
With that in mind, I thought I would pull together some blog posts for you to check out.
Mental health, self care and general well being are so important – and these things can have a huge impact on other areas of your life.
There are some amazing bloggers out there, who regularly write amazing content. I have picked four who have all written about setting goals, new year resolutions, words of the year, well being, mental health and self care.
They each have their own take on the topics, their own ideas and opinions – but hopefully there is something you can take from each of them.
