It’s easy to focus on what we didn’t do, but reflection can be far more powerful when we shift our perspective toward gratitude and growth. Maybe you started prioritizing regular exercise, finally addressed that nagging back pain, or made time for self-care amidst life’s chaos. These are wins worth celebrating! True wellness isn’t about perfection; it’s abou

The holidays should bring joy, not stress. Yet for many, the rush of planning, shopping, and social obligations can lead to headaches, fatigue, and back pain. Stress impacts the body in powerful ways. It tightens muscles, affects posture, and can even disrupt sleep and digestion.
