January is a time for starting new things.  It’s also a semblance of a fresh start a new beginning.  The key to a fresh start is a good foundation.  There are 3 things that I find help lay a good foundation for the year and I invite you to do with me to get your New Year off on the right foot!

Get a New Toothbrush!!!

The ADA recommends changing your tooth brush every 3-4 months (sooner if damaged).  If fined starting out January with a clean and new toothbrush just makes me smile in the morning  and evening and is a small tangible symbol of freshness.

Do a Quick Purge!!!

Christmas usually comes with great gifts; clothes, shoes, jewelry, makeup, body sprays etc.  As I find places to put my presents I also take a moment to look and see what I haven’t used or have not attachment to and I put them in a bag to prepare for donation.  I also use this time to go through my sons clothes and shoes to find things that not longer fit and add those to the collection.

Create a Mantra!!!

One of the things I am working on this year is setting boundaries and putting myself and needs first.  One of the self destructive behaviors I realized, through therapy, is that I allow myself to be overextended to help others but then have no one to replenish and take care of me.  Going into 2021 I am working on putting myself first so I created a mantra that I recite to myself every morning to help me stay focused.  I think having a mantra helps encourage oneself for the year and also serves as a great motivator.
Everyday is a fresh start but there is something hopeful in society at large about the start of a New Year.  It’s like shedding a layer of skin and having a newness in the world.  Laying a good foundation is important and I hope that these 3 things will help you as we start 2021!
