ISSUE 975 - FEBRUARY 2023
Life'POINTS' FOR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS by Dr. Lisa Holt, DACM, MS, RN After so much uncertainty in the last few years, we are now reassessing what is most important in our lives. Shifting goals, changing times and moving boundaries are the current themes of the world we live in. Feelings of instability and disconnection with our comfort zones have replaced the prior solid and determined visions of future-plans and success metrics that we were taught to rely on. Even more than in new year’s past, resolutions are being called upon to discover alternative solutions to persistent conflicts such as financial, health and well-being and mental-emotional crises. More than 50% of new year’s resolutions involve commitments to healthier behaviors: 51% resolved to eat more fruits and vegetables, 67% resolved to exercise more, 45% resolved to lose weight and an overwhelming 70% want to reduce their stress levels. In far simpler terms, when a problem, conflict or mystery reaches a resolution, it has been solved or dissolved, so to speak. The idea, then, is that it goes away or changes into a form that is more acceptable or tolerable. The beginning of 2023 may continue to seem unfocused, overwhelming or unclear. New Year’s resolutions become just that, when we lose our resolve. Success in any resolution involves finding what empowers us the most, then living from that place of authenticity. 2023 is no exception. Make a plan, work the plan, and stay with the plan. The good news is that there are ample opportunities being presented daily that give us a helping hand when we need it the most. Healthcare services are at the top of list. 2023 will be a record year for changes in healthcare. While rising costs in every sector of industry is bearing down on households, consumers are looking for practical solutions that will allow them to continue living their best lives. The 2023 outlook predicts key changes in healthcare data analytics and collection, equitable social access, behavioral modifications and life-sciences and research breakthroughs that specifically empower the consumer by placing the responsibility of self-care into their own hands, thereby transforming the existing health systems into more preventative and cost-savvy models. 2023 is inviting us to express our most authentic self. Process-oriented methods ground us into time management, project management and emotional management for life success. The opportunity to learn and live in self-respect, self-responsibility, and self-care is an empowering life skill. Discovering our true purpose leads to higher productivity and patterns of success. Muscle memory leads to motivation and merits of peak life moments. Sincere and accurate interpretations lead to new inspirations which integrates courage in commitments for this new year!
