As we gradually press forward through the first month of 2025, January carries the essence of new beginnings. For many, there’s an undeniable sense of hope and possibility in the air, and the new year presents a perfect chance to refocus, recharge, and reimagine what’s possible.
So this new year, Herbs of the Earth would like to greet you with open hearts and with the spirit of transformation under our wellness initiative for the “month—“Pursue Change.”
The belief from all of us is that small, intentional steps lead to transformative results. So, starting anew often requires looking back before we leap forward.
Let’s begin by reflecting on the past year and journaling your thoughts with the following questions:
- What health victories did you celebrate, and where did you feel you fell short?
- What would better health mean for your relationships?
- How would achieving your wellness goals impact your daily joy?

Friends, to achieve personal outlined health goals, understanding your “WHY” is at the heart of it. Maybe you want to feel more energetic to keep up with your kids, or perhaps you’re striving for better mental clarity to excel in your career; defining this purpose creates a personal connection that keeps you motivated when the initial excitement wanes.
This might sound familiar, but the SMART strategy (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) isn't just corporate lingo; it's a powerful tool for personal transformation.
In a nutshell, here's how to apply it to your wellness journey:
- Specific: Instead of "exercise more," try, “walk for 20 minutes during lunch break."
- Measurable: Track your progress using concrete numbers or achievements.
- Achievable: Start with small, manageable changes.
- Relevant: Ensure your goals align with your current life situation.
- Time-bound: Set realistic deadlines for each milestone.

You know, small, consistent actions always compound into big results over time. For example, adding an extra serving of vegetables to your meals or swapping one sugary drink for water daily can significantly improve your health in just a few months.

Let’s remember always, “Perfection isn’t the goal; progress is.”
It’s easy to get discouraged as you set out and begin working on health and wellness goals; however, instead of fixating on setbacks, look for and celebrate small wins.
Small wins like:
- Did you hit your water intake goal this week? Great!
- Managed to cook two healthy meals?
If yes, those are worth celebrating!
Reward yourself for such wins even if they feel small, and remember that every step forward counts.
