LIFESTYLE<br />
Try Out a New<br />
Hairstyle<br />
New year, new you — right? It might be<br />
cliche, but we’re always here to try a new<br />
look. After all, what better way to feel<br />
refreshed and ready for the year to come<br />
than by permitting yourself to try<br />
something new?<br />
The new year is the perfect time to<br />
embrace change, whether finally<br />
learning to braid or blow out your<br />
hair, updating your go-to makeup<br />
picks, or going bold with your fashion<br />
choices. So, go for it, we say!<br />
Lift Weights<br />
Yes, yes, you knew this was<br />
coming. In every resolution<br />
list — ever — there’s a<br />
commitment to exercise<br />
more regularly. But, unlike<br />
goals of visiting the gym<br />
every day or running a<br />
marathon, this one is more<br />
reasonable. And you can<br />
even do it from the comfort<br />
of your home. Lifting weights<br />
is an oft-forgotten (or<br />
avoided) part of keeping<br />
our bodies healthy and<br />
preventing injury, but now’s<br />
the time to incorporate it into<br />
your exercise routine.<br />
Practise Mindfulness<br />
For years, you’ve probably heard about the<br />
benefits of embracing a mindful lifestyle.<br />
From reducing stress to improving sleep,<br />
mood, and general enjoyment, we should<br />
all practice mindfulness.<br />
Rather than diving straight in with long<br />
meditation sessions, we suggest starting<br />
small. Set aside five minutes each day to<br />
sit and reflect or use a mindfulness journal<br />
to jot down a few things you’re grateful for.<br />
You’d be amazed at how quickly these<br />
seemingly small activities lead to a change<br />
in outlook!<br />
