I hope everyone is having a great start to the new year! Are you falling behind on your 2020 goals or resolutions already? Do you fall into a seasonal depression due to the new year? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. The new year can be challenging and frustrating because there’s pressure to try new things, exercise more, and push yourself out of your comfort zone.
