January: Refining Balance
Welcome to a new year!
This is traditionally the season for resolutions, grand plans, the excitement around becoming a new and better version of yourself. We’re here to offer you something different in January, which is why our theme is about ‘refining balance.’ We ask you to consider, instead, rest and reflection as powerful tools for your wellbeing.

Topic: How Rest Can Counter Stress Reactions
Writing to Robust Wellness
Expressive writing, like journaling, evokes mindfulness and helps writers remain present while keeping perspective. Journaling is an opportunity for emotional catharsis, strengthens our emotional and mental health, relieves stress and boosts our immune system, keeps our memory sharp, and emphasizes our pattern and growth in adversity.
We offer prompts as an invitation to keep a journal, and unearth how your lifestyle interweaves the ten wellness dimensions with Laura as your guide.

Self-Improvement Culture
There’s a fine line between pushing yourself to do your best and working yourself to exhaustion in pursuit of a goal. Hustle culture, life-hacking, or optimizing every second of your day can lead to burnout.
In what ways do you build-in systems into your life to ensure you’re taking care of business while also looking after your health?

Know Yourself
Remember, you’re the only person who can figure out what the life you want looks like. Role models and other people can provide a blueprint of what is possible, but ultimately you will have your own journey.
