In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, one of the simplest and most powerful things we can do is perform a random act of kindness. Holding the door open. Paying for someone’s coffee. Sending an encouraging text. Leaving a kind note. These small gestures may seem ordinary, but their impact is anything but. Kindness boosts your mood and creates connection. It can be contagious, with one small act rippling outward in ways you may never even see. And the best part? Kindness doesn’t cost much, but it means everything. Today, choose to be someone’s bright spot. You never know how much your small act could change someone’s day. And don't forget to be kind to yourself! 💛

🚶‍♂️Get Active: Engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week.

❤️Know Your Numbers: Monitor blood pressure regularly and follow your doctors recommendations for testing your cholesterol levels.
🚭Quit Smoking: Avoiding to***co protects your blood vessels and improves oxygen flow.
🧘‍♀️Manage Stress: Practicing meditation or yoga for just a few minutes a day can help reduce stress.

When Dictionary.com announced its Word of 2025 was not a word, but rather 67 (say it like this - six-seven - if you aren't in the know), we expect teachers and parents in the orbit of school-aged children and teens let out a collective groan. But Word of the Year isn't just for Dictionary.com, or Webster's or even Oxford.

Instead of generating a list of New Year's Resolutions, have you ever considered coming up with a Word of the Year that you choose for yourself? One word that guides how you show up, grow, and move through challenges. Not perfection. Not pressure. Just intention. A word to return to when life gets noisy. If you had one word to focus on for personal growth this year, what would it be?

Check out this blog post for more on the concept of a personal word of the year and a list of 150 words that you might consider: https://theintentionhabit.com/word-of-the-year-ideas
