Health and Wellness Bests for Early 2018

Health and wellness have been on my mind this year. I mean, they’re usually on my mind, in general, but after a rough 2017, I want to make some healthy changes in 2018. In the interest of helping anyone who has similar interests to mine, here are some of my health and wellness favorites from the beginning of the year.

I am currently taking 2 ballet classes per week, which is my true preferred method of exercising. However, ballet requires mad strength and flexibility, and progress is much more quickly achieved with daily class. That isn’t practical for my life and I’ve found that yoga is an easily accessible complimentary form of exercise.

Skin. Anyone else still working to figure theirs out? I’ve tried all (ALL) kinds of things to calm down my acne prone skin. Harsh things dry me out, many oils block my pores, I’m sure Accutane during my teen years did some irreparable bodily damage without benefit (know better, do better, on that one)… Long story short, I’m still working on it. While I do think that diet and stress have a lot to do with it, I decided to give the Korean Skincare approach a try this year, and have been very pleased with the results.

This year, small steps are going to be enough. Huge goals are great, but they can often overwhelm me and cause me to sit in analysis for months on end, as I try to figure out exactly where would be the best place to start. I also like to think way too far ahead and get stuck on problems that couldn’t even present themselves for months. Not this year. Something is better than nothing and any progress is good progress.

I’d love to hear your favorites for the start of 2018. Leave me a note in the comments!
