The new year is coming and you’ve had your resolutions and goals which you may or may not have completed or stayed consistent. If you don’t feel like redoing your incomplete resolution, there are plenty of things to check off your list wellness-wise if you haven’t done so already. We’re talking medical appointments you’ve been putting off, that workout class you thought about doing but never signed up for, and using up those remaining vacation days. Today we have compiled a checklist for you. Whatever you decide, just remember it’s never too late to start over.
The Checklist.
- Schedule Your Annual Checkup/Physical. regular check-ups are important so you can discuss with your doctor what screenings and tests you may need any issues you’ve been experiencing or questions you may have. It goes without saying that if you have a history of health problems or are experiencing symptoms, you should see your doctor no matter what.
- Get Moving. Getting started can be as easy as finding ways to get more steps into your day, like taking the stairs when you can or getting a walk-in at lunchtime during the workday.
- Go Outside. get out there and enjoy the fresh air—whether it’s a hike, walk around your neighborhood, or even just stepping outside for five minutes.
- Kick a Bad Habit. Maybe you said you would cut back on drinking or that you would quit smoking. Whatever you want to change, work on it now.
- Check on Your Mental Health. It’s been a tough year and people have been through a lot, we have been through a lot because of the pandemic and whatnots. So it is important to step back for a while and take care of ourselves to ensure a healthy mental state.
- Get Your Finances in Order. It can be as simple as checking your credit report, finally researching those investments, or meeting with a financial advisor. It all depends on your money situation, but doing something about your finances will make you feel so much better
