1) SAVING MORE MONEY: It's natural that households are doing their part to make ends meet during these trying times when inflation has tightened it's grip on budgets nationwide.

2) PRACTICE MINDFULNESS: It's very important that you instill some "me time" for yourself to prevent further anxiety and stress. Meditate or get in the zone by taking a few minutes to do some yoga and tune out from the daily foibles this world is offering. This could assist you in becoming a better person and bringing more positive thoughts in life. It's worth a try and the task at hand is NOT time consuming in nature.

4) READ MORE BOOKS: Never mind the "so-called screen time". Pick up a hard cover or paperback that has been sitting on your shelf for the longest time alongside a hot cup of coffee which will make for a perfect combination if you ask me. If you ask me, this resolution will exercise your mind and is habit forming in a good way.

5) CLEAN-UP SCHEDULE: Yes, it's an arduous task to tidy things up at your friendly abode, but think of the positive accomplishment that will not be time consuming in nature. Find a set time and day where you can dedicate the moment to sprucing things up as this resolution has some questionable moments but it can be done!

BOTTOM LINE: You must take the first step in accomplishing any set goals in life, so get busy and don't procrastinate. From ALL of us at Townsquare-Berkshire: Happy New Year and we'll see you back here in 2023!
