And \u201chealthy\u201d is an all-inclusive term. Health and wellness is a combination of mental\/emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. So instead of speaking to the physical aspects of health like food and fitness, we want to share some ways to improve your emotional health. If you\u2019re not in a good place emotionally, your physical habits will follow suit. So start the year by clearing your mind of all the negative, and bring only positive vibes into 2016. Don\u2019t just make 2016 your year, but make every year after that yours as well!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blog-divider-line.jpg\" alt=\"blog-divider-line\" width=\"620\" height=\"60\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blog-divider-line.jpg 620w, https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blog-divider-line-300x29.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>As Elsa says, \u201cLet It Go\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>I know, we\u2019re all sick of \u201cFrozen\u201d, but this little Disney anthem can apply to anyone. Whether it was a departure from a job, gym, club or a breakup, let it all go. I know that\u2019s easier said than done. But forgive those who have wronged you, not for them, but for yourself to move forward. You don\u2019t need to bring old grudges into the New Year. Everything happens for a reason.

Make a plan for yourself to pay off that student loan, credit card and any other debt you may have. Just like health and weight-loss goals, small progress is still progress. You will chisel away at those numbers a little bit at a time, and it will add up. For example, if you have 3 credit cards, set yourself a budget, say $300 just for credit card payments. Pay the minimum on the highest two, then whatever balance is leftover, put towards the card with the lowest balance. Once you\u2019ve paid off that card, which will feel awesome, keep that $300 budget and do the same thing as before with the remaining cards until they\u2019re all paid off. It\u2019s more effective than trying to submit equal payments across all your cards.

But the reality is, if you don\u2019t take care of yourself, how will you take care of others? This was a very crucial piece of advice just recently given to me that I never even thought about. And it makes total sense! Whether you are caring for an older relative or an infant who needs 24-hour care, you need to make sure you take time for yourself to eat healthy, exercise, shower\/clean, etc. so that you remain healthy to care for them.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blog-divider-line.jpg\" alt=\"blog-divider-line\" width=\"620\" height=\"60\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blog-divider-line.jpg 620w, https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blog-divider-line-300x29.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/shop.thedolcediet.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DolceDiet-ShopLogo.png\" alt=\"DolceDiet-ShopLogo\" width=\"412\" height=\"121\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DolceDiet-ShopLogo.png 412w, https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DolceDiet-ShopLogo-300x88.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DolceDiet-Apparel-1280x600-938x440.png\" alt=\"DolceDiet-Apparel-1280x600\" width=\"620\" height=\"340\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-16120\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOLCE DIET LIFESTYLE: Mentally Recharge for 2016 by Samantha Coogan, MS, RDN, LD Although anytime is a great time to start a healthy habit, New Year\u2019s makes it even easier.
