NOTE
Year 2021 is finally here! I’m hoping this year we can return to greeting friends with hugs, traveling to faraway places and safely gathering with our friends for backyard BBQ’s.

As I’ve been thinking about this new year, I’m challenging myself to have a positive attitude, regardless of the obstacles I may encounter. I love this quote from Pat Riley: If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges. As you dive into 2021, I hope you stay healthy and stay connected to your family and friends. Thank you for your support of The Grand Season and our advertisers. It’s because of you our local businesses have made it to this point in the pandemic.

At the beginning of a New Year, many of us wonder what happened to our goals and good intentions we had at the beginning of last year. Rather than focusing on the failures of years past—get rid of your guilt—and make small changes in key areas of your life.
spend time being thankful. Practice gratitude daily. Pick out the things in your life that you are grateful for—especially those things you would normally take for granted. The most effective prayer in the world has two words: “Thank you.”
Physical: Do something that improves your
physical health. Instead of watching TV for two hours turn it off and go for a 20-minute walk.
Emotional: Spend your emotional energy wisely. Surround yourself with people who will uplift and inspire you—not deplete and depress you. Mental: The mind is like a muscle and needs exercise. Think about learning one new thing each day—it doesn’t matter how big or small. Learn a

If we want to improve our habits, where should we begin? These five habits will protect us from getting so physically taxed or mentally frazzled that we can’t manage ourselves.
GROWTH
STRONG CHOICES 5 Steps to Better Self-Control
Get at least seven hours of sleep. For many of us, those last hours of the day are time to play or relax, but the fact is, we need sleep. Lack of sleep affects mood, memory, immune function—it even contributes to weight gain. Most adults need at least seven hours of sleep a night. If you struggle with getting to bed on time, try setting an alarm at night to help you get moving toward sleep.
Go for a 20-minute walk. Physical activity is the magical elixir of practically everything. Exercise relieves anxiety, boosts energy and mood, improves memory, sharpens executive function and contributes to weight maintenance. It both energizes and calms us. You don’t need to train for a marathon or go to an hour-long spin class. The biggest health boost goes to those who are consistent about being less sedentary.
Don’t let yourself get too hungry. Because the brain needs energy to manage impulses, paradoxically, one of the best ways to avoid impulsive overeating (or any bad habit) is to eat enough. Also, skipping meals can lead to a whole day of bargaining and bad choices.
Take time to unclutter. Most of us get a real lift when we put things in their place, tackle nagging tasks, clear surfaces and get rid of junk. This surge of energy makes it easier to ask more of ourselves, to use our self-control and to stick to a challenging habit. One of the most popular habits for boosting happiness and productivity? Make your bed. Also, if you can do something in less than one minute, do it without delay. This eliminates the scrim of clutter on the surface of life.
Give yourself healthy treats. Treats are delightful. Unlike a reward, which must be earned or justified, a “treat” is a small pleasure or indulgence that we give to ourselves just because we want it. We don’t have to be “good” to get it, we don’t earn it or justify it. Giving ourselves “treats” may sound self-indulgent or frivolous, but it’s not. When we give ourselves treats, we feel energized, cared for and contented, which boosts our self-command. It’s a Secret of Adulthood: If we give more to ourselves, we can ask more from ourselves. Self-regard isn’t selfish. These five areas build on each other. Start with one area, and go from there, as you make your habits better than before.
