I asked a few of my colleagues what they were doing for a “new year, new you” in ’22, and here’s what they said: Most confirmed the usual goals, like better eating, more sleep and more exercise. But some were a little more specific; they mentioned updating their scratched and gouged cookware and getting back to exercise and taking vitamins. Others were focused on trying organic food and plant-based options or learning a new skill, like swimming, speaking a different language or understanding different world cultures.

My resolution? I’ve heard so many good ideas that I may have to think about that a bit more!
