The new year is upon us! And with a new year coming in, new things are on the horizon for everyone. Perhaps you think of a new year as a time to reset your life and do all the right things you’ve been putting off. Or maybe you think of it as a time to rethink your lifestyle and consider others. No matter what you end up thinking, there’s one thing for sure: everyone loves to use it for resolutions and knocking out their own personal goals. And honestly, I can’t blame those people. It’s a good method to get in the habit of trying new things, cleaning up old messes, and tackling new goals. It’s that yearly renewal we all need to keep things fresh and interesting while also tidying up our lives in many aspects. For me, I’m choosing to look at my financial situation with a more mature and responsible perspective in order to tackle debt, invest in some low-risk accounts, and cut back on spending on things I simply don’t need. But I’m also taking this moment to focus on my health, too. Considering that your health is indirectly tied to your financial situation, it’s important to focus on both if you’re going to hone in on one. So this year, I’ll be making the effort to restore my gumline. It’s not that it’s currently bad by any means, so I think using the word restore is poor word choice on my part. Nonetheless, my gums are known to bleed from time to time, and I know this is an early sign of gingivitis. While that can sound scary to some, it’s affected over half of the American population at some point or another, and it’s always reversible if caught early enough. My plan for this year? Floss every single day. That’s the number one goal of mine for my health, and to back it up, I want to get a water pick in order to bust out any plaque along my gumlines that may be hampering my oral health. So long as you have a plan in mind for your goals for the new year, you can achieve them. The problem is, so many people say they have a resolution, they write it down, and then they never follow through because there was no actual plan set on achieving that goal. It’s the missing link in new year’s resolutions for everyone who ends up giving up on their goals.
