WE ARE officially halfway through the year. I’m not sure if it’s just me, but it feels like this year is going really fast. It was December and then January, just now and yet it feels like we are heading there again in just a few months. One of the most beautiful things about the beginning of the year is the new hope it brings. Even if you were not healthy, fit, or hadn’t picked up a hobby the previous year, in January you would pick it up with renewed strength. Whether we choose to attribute the courage to start to the euphoria of a New Year’s resolution or just new beginnings, we can all agree that those months are the most hopeful ones of the year. Without even realising it, I had committed to running more kilometres this year and participating in a virtual run, which happened in the first few months. I also did a 30-day running challenge, clocking no less than 5km a day for 30 consecutive days. I was at my peak with running but slowly towards mid-year the kilometres dropped. There are many valid reasons for that, the change of training schedule being the biggest one. Despite them being valid, I still had to make myself accountable for not committing to my plan. When I did, I realised that these reasons were excuses and reworked my plan with renewed hope that I can finish strong. So if you have hit the evaluation mark or are ready to finish your year strong, this trend alert will help you start the second half of 2021 with knowledge about the latest health trends. These will help you stay committed to your goals or help you excel in your quest to live a healthier life. Whatever you do in the next six months, make sure you choose health and make time to prioritise it. The pandemic has taught us and continues to teach us: Your Health is your Wealth.
