editor's note

Dear Readers, Happy New Year and welcome to 2023! So here we are again, at the beginning of another new year. I think it is safe to say that the month of January often feels like a fresh start.

Stop Stopping, Keep Going

By: Chris Lee

You know that one thing? The thing you’ve been putting off? That thing that’s been on your to-do list for months? Or what about that weekend project that you started last year and never quite got around to finishing? Embarrassed? Don’t be. It happens to the best of us. Procrastination is a common coping mechanism.

Whenever we are feeling overwhelmed by a task or aren’t sure what to do, we tend to procrastinate. We can come up with all of the logical reasons in the world, but ultimately we are governed by our emotions. So how do we turn the tide in the battle against putting important things off? Here are three ways to stifle procrastination.

Baby Steps - What’s one small step you can take each day toward completing your task or project? By breaking your goal down into smaller, less overwhelming steps, you improve your chances of taking action.

Keep Score - If you take enough small steps toward your goal, you will build some momentum, which will improve your motivation.

Explore Your Fear – Identify the underlying reasons for procrastination and address any worries or anxieties that might be distracting you from completing your project.

THE NEW YEAR

By: Chelsey L. Stailing

When the clock turns to midnight on December 31st a new year is upon us.

With a new year brings new meanings, new friendships and new lessons.

A new year reminds us to keep moving forward, to say goodbye to the year like you would an old friend who decided to take their own path.

To move along is to take the new year with courage and to accept any guidance given your way.

Have faith that the new year will move along with great blessings in store. Take each new year as a chance to start over and keep moving forward.
