As we go into the new year, many of us look to start healthier habits like exercising or dieting. One way to create these new habits is to follow the proven structure of SMART goals. Let's talk more about what SMART goals are and how you can create them.

According to the Blue Zones, "a strong sense of purpose can really reduce stress in your life. You'll have less worry and anxiety, be more clear about your goals, be less motivated by the positive opinions of others and you may not fret as much about decisions." What a great way to start your year!

As we focus on "Choose Happy" and the link between happiness and health, one of the ways to do this is by practicing mindfulness when we eat, when we move and when we connect with people.
