January

I used to think January was the most depressing month of the year. The fun of the holidays is over and winter is in full force. School and work is back in session, and it’s dark and cold. Nowadays, I love January as it’s a reset month for me.

With the holidays behind us, I use January to get back on a good healthy schedule. I eat better, I exercise more, I drink less, and I try to sleep more. My body gets a nice reset.

January is also a time to get back to a routine. With the holiday craze with travel, family, friends, etc. you lose track of time and it’s all a blur. In the new year, I get back to a much more predictable routine.

It’s also a good time to take a step back from work and look at everything we accomplished in 2024. We’ll celebrate our wins and figure out how to learn from the losses. In the heat of things, it’s difficult to really take a step back and look at things from a high level.

Lastly, it’s a great time to plan for the year ahead both personally and work wise. I start to get more excited about life during this month as I start to look ahead to everything that’s in store for us.
