Studies show unmet goals or having too many half finished projects leads to increased stress, anxiety and depression. Instead, consider approaching the new year looking for growth, introspection, and striving to achieve excellence. Understanding the why and what motivates you will lead to the correct what and how. Here are some questions to get you thinking about the why. May your New Year be filled with growth and excellence! </p>
