The start of a new year often brings a sense of renewal, a fresh opportunity to set goals, break bad habits, and “get things in order.” However, how often do January resolutions lead to lasting transformation? Instead of focusing on resolutions that fade, we believe it may be more fruitful to establish sustainable rhythms, patterns of behavior that align with your values and carry you through the year, not just the first month.
