By Jodi Minker As the new year begins, it’s natural to feel motivated to reflect on our health and well-being. January has long been associated with New Year’s resolutions — often ambitious, all-or-nothing goals that can feel inspiring at first but difficult to sustain once daily life resumes. Research and experience suggest that lasting change doesn’t come from drastic overhauls, but from small, consistent habits that fit naturally into everyday life. Rather than setting rigid resolutions, one idea is to choose to begin the year with intentions — simple goals focused on building healthier habits over time. Habits formed gradually…
