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 />
