I hope\neveryone had a lovely Holiday season and a very merry new year! New years is\nall about remember the best of times in the old so you can embrace the new.\nThere is that clich\u00e9 sayings \u201cnew year, new me\u201d which means to start the new\nyear a new person or to be something better. I think that saying is a little far-fetched.\nEveryone says they are going to be a new person and set \u201cnew goals\u201d for\nthemselves in the new year that most don\u2019t even accomplish or continue after\nJanuary. I believe that the new year shouldn\u2019t be about a new you, but rather\nbe \u201cnew year, renew me\u201d, a more updated and continuous piece of work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Some\nfriendly advice I can give to you readers and that I am using for myself is to\nstart the year of strong and to just revamp yourself, not create a whole new\nyou. If creating a \u201cnew me\u201d, you\u2019re 80% more likely to drop your resolution by\nthe second week. By sticking to who you are and making some modifications\nwhether they are short term or long-term goals, you are more likely to follow\nthrough and improve who you are. Below are a couple ways to stick to who you\nare and accomplish your goals without feeling like you need to be a new person\nto do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Have\nyour goals be really narrow and specific. Make them your SMART goals and the\nmore specific you are, the more you will actually accomplish. For example,\ninstead of saying you want to lose weight, write how much weight you want to\nlose. <\/li><li>Have\nmeaning and thought behind each of your goals. The more thought and personal\nyour goal, the more drive you have to accomplish it. <\/li><li>Have\npositivity in your goals to avoid temptation and have more willpower. <\/li><li>Set\nyour goals, then aim higher. Once you set your goals, you should work to\nachieve them if not exceed them. For example, if you are wanting to run a mile,\naim to do a marathon. <\/li><li>And\nfor the last piece of advice, focus on you and the process. Improve yourself\none step at a time and remember why you are doing it. Achieve the unknown <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Do what is best for your Warhawks\nand embrace the new year with the new and improved you. Don\u2019t be a whole new\nperson just because it is a new year. The more you stick to yourself and just\nrevamp you, the more likely you are to accomplish those goals. You can set\ngoals over night, but it takes time to accomplish them. So put the hard-work\nin, be specific and do it for you! You got this, Warhawks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emma O&#8217;Connor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start Strong, Finish Stronger<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back Warhawks!
