Word of the Year
Word of the Year January’s blogs have been centered around the idea of goal setting and some various ways to go about it. Setting both large and small goals can often help us to feel motivated and provide us with a sense of direction in work, school, family or our personal lives. Maybe you’ve read through our past blogs and even spent some time brainstorming your goals, yet you are left feeling overwhelmed.

A Year in Reflection
A Year in Reflection The end of the year is a great time to look back over your year and reflect on what worked and what didn’t. Some people do a formal reflection and others just spend some time thinking about it. 2020 has been a rough year for many of us. You may feel trapped at home with too many people or all alone. You may feel stressed about losing your job, going to part-time or if you do work, having to get so much done. People who are working out of the home may fear getting sick or having to wear masks all day long. Needless to say,

Negative Thinking Ok – let’s be real for a second. We ALL struggle with negative thought patterns to some degree. It’s just part of being human. Sometimes, it seems like a negative thought flies into our minds out of nowhere, while other times, we might sit and let one negative thought spiral into another until we feel completely doomed. It’s not necessarily the negative thought itself that is the issue, but it’s what we do with it that makes all the difference. As you probably already know, negative thoughts carry the potential to wreak havoc in our lives if we let them. Though we might not possess the ability to
